Michael Carrick has urged his Manchester United teammates to ignore their first leg result as they attempt to wrap up a Champions League semi-final win over Schalke 04 here tonight. Carrick said United could not afford to believe the tie was over despite winning the first leg 2-0 in Gelsenkirchen last week. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/may/car1.jpg" border="5" /> Manchester United's Michael Carrick (right) celebrates a goal with teammates during an EPL match against West Bromwich Albion in West Bromwich earlier this year.

"Our approach as always when we play at home is to win the game." Carrick also said United were wary of a Schalke side which scored a stunning 5-2 away victory over Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. "Clearly, Schalke scoring five goals at Inter stands out and is something you have to take into account," the midfielder said. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson added: "I think Schalke have nothing to lose. That's the message he will impart into his team. I'm sure of that."
