Michael Carrick says Manchester United has dealt with the Lisandro Martinez situation and moved its focus forward. In the club's October 16 pre-Leeds press conference, he also confirmed the defender is available for selection.
A response after internal discussions
Martinez spoke out following the midweek Champions League defeat and subsequently issued a public apology. A meeting at Carrington preceded Carrick's assessment that the group understood the matter and had moved on.
The manager said Martinez had acknowledged his mistake and described the discussion as straightforward. He did not disclose a detailed account of the meeting.
That is Carrick's public evaluation of how the issue was handled, rather than independent verification that every possible internal disagreement has disappeared.
Attention turns to Leeds
Carrick spoke positively about the latest training session and the squad's spirit, while acknowledging that recent results had not followed the plan. Positive comments about togetherness do not themselves establish that sporting problems are resolved.
The Elland Road fixture is scheduled for 2pm BST on Sunday, or 8pm in Vietnam. Martinez's availability makes him an option without guaranteeing a starting place or particular minutes.
The new development is the manager's response after an existing apology, not another apology announced on the same basis. United's stated focus is preparation for Leeds.
The account therefore supports the conclusions that Carrick considers the issue addressed and Martinez selectable. Unpublished dressing-room details or speculative punishments should not be treated as findings from the press conference.
