Michael Carrick is convinced that Lisandro Martinez understands he crossed a line with his explosive comments in Madrid, maintaining that the incident will not derail Manchester United's efforts to salvage their season.The Argentine defender is expected to be included in United's squad for Sunday's trip to Leeds at Elland Road. Martinez has apologised for publicly taking aim at director of football Jason Wilcox and the club's hierarchy during a television interview, an outburst that also resulted in a financial penalty for the 28-year-old.Carrick was present when Martinez and Wilcox met at Carrington on Thursday, and the United manager played down the significance of the discussions, insisting the matter had already been resolved.🎥-🔴 Michael Carrick says that Lisandro Martinez will be available against Leeds & other upcoming games 🗣️ “As a group, we moved on.” https://t.co/jSkvqQJz6U— Beyond United (@BeyondUTD1) October 16, 2026 "You're after some kind of big information about big discussions, but it was pretty simple. We all understood the situation and what it meant. Lisandro obviously made his statement, and he acknowledges that it was a mistake from him, and that was it really. It's really not a drama for us as a group. We've genuinely moved on."Former United skipper Rooney had warned that Martinez's criticism of the club's summer transfer strategy could cause serious divisions behind the scenes. However, Carrick believes the team's display in their 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid, along with the atmosphere during training sessions over the past two days, tells a different story."The squad today was in a fantastic place, better than I've seen it for a while actually," added the United boss.Carrick also addressed Amad Diallo's reaction to the situation, suggesting that frustration had taken control when the Ivorian winger posted a furious message on Tuesday night, writing "f***ing disgrace, I have no words".🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Lisandro Martínez has RETURNED to Manchester United training following his public apology for criticising the club's hierarchy. The defender held talks with Michael Carrick, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada on Thursday. Manchester United now consider the matter CLOSED, and Martínez is AVAILABLE for Sunday's clash against Leeds United. — The Sun— The Touchline | 𝐓 (@TouchlineX) October 16, 2026 "Again, it's a situation where there's ways of doing it," said Carrick. "In one way, it shows the boys care an awful lot. But yes, of course, there are ways of doing it as part of learning a little bit. I think we've just got to show that emotion in the right manner and channel it in the right manner."With pressure mounting on Carrick, Sunday's clash at Elland Road represents an important opportunity for United to respond on the pitch. Four defeats and just two victories across their last nine matches this season have raised concerns, leaving the manager in urgent need of a positive result to restore confidence and change the narrative surrounding his team.21.30: (1.85) Eintr.Frankfurt (4.15) Koln (3.70)
