McCarthy is targeting back-to-back Premier League wins at Manchester United.
“Of course it’s wrong to write games off, but I can understand people looking at the home games,” he told the Express and Star.
“Supporters tend to look past United and see two matches we should win.
“That’s not necessarily the truth, as we proved last season, and Stoke and Norwich will both be tough.
“There’s no point looking beyond United, but we might get a point or win, who knows? I never go anywhere and think we’re going to get beat.”
