The Red Devils are three wins from three after beating Club America, San Jose Earthquakes and Barcelona in the North American leg of the 2015 International Champions Cup and Carrick has welcomed the victorious habits ahead of the new Premier League season.

“It was a decent performance,” he told ManUtd.com.

“They’ve obviously got some great players and they’re tough to play against so it’s always nice to win. It’s a good habit to get into.

“We’ve got a strong squad with competitions in all positions. I thought the lads who came on in the last half an hour did very well. It’s not easy to come on like that and get into the game but they did ever so well so we’re very satisfied.

“There are always things you can improve on during these pre-season games. Our fitness is coming on, it was a third half of football really for me and there is still a couple of weeks until the Tottenham game which is the most important game to be ready for.

“I think everyone is looking okay and getting up to speed, and we’re taking something from each of these pre-season games which is important.”

United kick off the 2015/16 Premier League campaign against Tottenham at home on August 8. They take on Paris Saint-Germain in Chicago on Wednesday in their fourth ICC fixture.
