Carrick highlights United goal threat

Michael Carrick believes Manchester United's impressive array of goalscorers makes them a clear and present danger to the Barclays Premier League's elite.

After stretching their lead at the top to seven points thanks to their win against Southampton on Wednesday, United head to Fulham on Saturday looking to widen the gap even further on a Manchester City side that entertain Liverpool on Sunday.

"It is good to have your strikers banging the goals in," Carrick said. "It means we are providing is a constant threat."
