Reds ready for a Turkey shoot
UNITED warmed up for a turkey shoot against Besiktas on Wednesday after rediscovering their killer instinct against Everton. The Reds' 3-0 success was the first time they had enjoyed such a clear victory at Old Trafford all season. Prior to the win United had conceded 11 times at home in nine matches and had failed to kill off sides. But Wednesday's Champions League visitors from Istanbul have conceded six goals in their four Group B matches and have only one point. With the Reds having already qualified for the knockout stages it is an opportunity to sharpen their goal-scoring claws. "It has been a tad frustrating in that we haven't killed teams off. We have been creating chances but they have not been going in for us," said Michael Carrick. "It was nice to kill the game off this time. We haven't been scoring an awful lot of goals at home to kill teams off so to see the second and third go in was nice and we could relax and play a bit of football. "It was also very important we bounced back after the Chelsea defeat. "We took a lot of positives out of the Chelsea game and we showed it didn't knock us out of our stride. We know what we can do and we believe we can still be up there when it counts."
