Michael Carrick reveals that Manchester United's attacking options means that they never know when they are beaten.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has admitted that the club's current attacking options provide the team with plenty of "belief".

The Red Devils have collected 21 points from losing positions this season thanks to goals from the likes of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez.

Speaking after the latest come-from-behind victory over Reading last night, Carrick insisted that the team never know when they are beaten.

"That gives us the belief," he told MUTV. "Even if we do go a goal down we always feel we've got the firepower from different people. That's the strength in depth of the attacking options and that's what keeps driving us on and we never give up.

"Personally I always felt confident, even when we were going goals behind, that we could still get back in the game and win the game, and that obviously proved the case."

United are currently top of the Premier League table with 15 matches played.
