Manchester United man, Michael Carrick is sure they’ll qualify for the UCL by finishing the season in the top four.
United recorded a 1-0 loss against West Brom, after Mata was sent off after a couple of yellow cards in the first half.
And despite being four points behind City – who have a game in hand – Carrick is certain United will qualify for UCL.
Carrick is confident that a place in the top four remains a possibility, but acknowledged his team must avoid dropping more points.
“[The top four] is not out of sight. We just need to get back to winning ways, that’s it,” the midfielder told Sky Sports.After four successive wins in all competitions, the 34-year-old was frustrated by United’s change in fortunes at The Hawthorns, citing Mata’s dismissal as pivotal.
“It’s easy to say, but we’ve got to bounce back. We’ve got big games coming up and we’ve got to be ready for them.”
“We wanted to carry on the form we’ve shown of late,” added Carrick. “It’s very disappointing. It’s a tough game coming here anyway, but losing a man makes it more difficult. In the second half they had one chance and scored.
“[The red card] changed the game because you put one less man in the attacking areas, which affected us on the break especially. I thought we were comfortable for most of the second half, but that was the difference in the end.
“It is what it is. I have seen the second one [booking], I didn’t get a good look at it, but it was a setback for us. You’ll have to ask him [if he’s let the team down].”
