"United were due to hold an executive committee meeting of senior management at a different location but this was moved to Carrington so that they could speak to Carrick before the first game of his second caretaker tenure. Ratcliffe and the six Glazer siblings are the majority owners of United. It is thought at least one of Avram and Joel Glazer is at Carrington. Other members of the executive committee include Omar Berrada, the chief executive, and Roger Bell, the chief financial officer."
"Carrick is training the squad for only the second time since his appointment, the 44-year-old's first session coming on Wednesday. He is relishing taking on City. The big games, the important games, are what we all live for Carrick told United's in-house media United are out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup and not in continental competition so there is only qualification for European football left to play for in Carrick's 17 league games in charge."
"The defender Lisandro Martinez, who returned from a serious knee injury in late November, has said he considered retirement after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury last February. After the first two or three weeks, to be honest, I didn't want to play football any more, he told AFA Estudio. And then, of course, you become more aware, you get that support. You feel like you're not a football player any more. You feel pain and think you'll never play football again."
Senior owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and members of the Glazer family attended Manchester United’s Carrington training base to support interim manager Michael Carrick ahead of the derby with Manchester City. The club moved an executive committee meeting to Carrington so leaders including Omar Berrada and Roger Bell could speak with Carrick before his second caretaker debut. Carrick has trained the squad twice since his appointment and said he relishes big matches. United are eliminated from the domestic cups and European qualification remains the only objective across Carrick’s 17 remaining league games. Defender Lisandro Martinez described serious recovery, admitting he briefly considered retirement after an ACL injury.
