Overview
- Michael Carrick said Saturday that Lisandro Martínez is back in full training and available for Monday’s match against Leeds, with Harry Maguire suspended after his Bournemouth red card.
- United have won seven of 10 league games under Carrick and climbed to third place, which puts a Champions League return within reach.
- Bruno Fernandes said Carrick changed personnel, tweaked player roles, and moved to a 4-2-3-1, which tightened defending and turned chances into goals.
- Sky Sports reports United will wait until the season ends to decide the head coach, and Carrick is the only candidate the club has spoken to so far.
- Planning for summer is underway, with Maguire signing a one-year extension and Casemiro confirmed to leave, and Carrick said replacing the Brazil midfielder is a clear recruitment need.
