“We were obviously disappointed with the result at the end,” explained Carroll.
“We know we need points because we're not safe so we need to keep working hard and focus on the next game. I don't think anyone is not confident about staying up and getting the points we need.
"We've been talking about it in the dressing room after the game. We know it's a tough game against Manchester United but I don't see why we can't get three points against them with the form we've been in.
"I don't see why we can't get the three points. We were disappointed at Stoke, but come Monday morning everyone will come into training raring to go to get three points against Man U."
