Carrick says Lisandro Martínez’s commitment is not an issue ahead of United’s Roma game

Summary

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has said he is not concerned about Lisandro Martínez’s attitude, despite the defender’s recent outburst aimed at the club’s hierarchy and his reckless red card in the defeat at Chelsea at the weekend. Martínez was fined for his comments about United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, and Carrick said his ‘commitment is not an issue’. The defender is expected to keep his place for Tuesday’s Champions League visit of Roma, as United aim to end their worst run in 38 years, having failed to win any of their past nine matches.
