Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick will face the media this afternoon and he will be quizzed on Lisandro Martinez's comments.
Manchester Evening News writer Jack Flintham argues that Lisandro Martinez's public comments almost forced Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick to take a side between the squad and the club hierarchy. Martinez subsequently apologized on Thursday evening after criticizing squad depth, temporarily easing the diplomatic pressure on Carrick ahead of upcoming press conferences.
Flintham notes that Carrick has consistently avoided taking sides regarding the board and summer transfers, during which targets like a left-back and striker cover for Benjamin Sesko were missed. The writer warns that pressure remains high on Carrick and the boardroom if United fail to win on Sunday.
