Carrick says United have moved on amid reported defensive rebuild

Manchester United are preparing to revamp their defense in upcoming transfer windows with a focus on center-backs and left-backs, according to Sky Sports. Manager Michael Carrick addressed the media ahead of Sunday's Premier League fixture against Leeds United, stating the squad has moved on following Lisandro Martinez's public criticism of the club's recruitment and leadership after a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Martinez is expected to be included in the squad to face Leeds, with Carrick noting the issue is resolved internally. Meanwhile, Martinez's contract expires next summer, and doubts reportedly remain over whether Manchester United will activate the formal one-year extension option as the club goes five matches without a win across all competitions.
