Michael Carrick on the rivalry with Leeds: "It's gone on for an awful long time. I think that's what rivalries are there for, for a really good reason, I think, to be part of, and the intensity and the emotion and the passion that goes into it."

Carrick on the Leeds rivalry: "Obviously, it's got to keep within the margins, but I think that's part of the game we love, going up against other teams. essentially all the areas, you know, and battling it out on the pitch. So I think it's something that we've got to embrace. And it's, as I say, it's why we were involved for these type of games."

Carrick on the scale of the Leeds rivalry and how that plays into the match: "We're certainly aware of it. I'm certainly aware of it. The players are aware of it. The extra that it means on top of the standard three points. So, yeah, we're looking forward to it. It's a big night for us." #mufc

Carrick on the atmosphere on Monday night: "Yeah, hopefully it cranks it up, you know, and the stadium is alive.I'm sure it will be. It has been. It's been unbelievable playing at home and the boys have responded and thrived off it, really."

Carrick on Mason Mount's return from injury: "First of all, it's great to have Mason back, to miss him so quickly after we came in and came together. He's obviously had nearly two or three weeks of building up and finding, his rhythm, finding his sharpness. It's great to have him back."

Carrick on Mount: "I think his versatility, is a big strength of his. He can play through the middle, he can play midfield, he can play wide and he can do so many different roles. He's certainly a team player, but he's a player that I really like. There's loads to come from this." #mufc

Michael Carrick confirms Lisandro Martinez is back but won't rush anything:

"It's just that call that we make. We wouldn't be pushed into anything. I think it's important that the boys are ready. It's as important as the next game always is, being the most important is the bigger picture. So that's a decision that we'll take."

Carrick on Martinez: "He's back training, which is great, and back on the grass. But we've certainly got to make the right decision and make sure he's ready. We've spoken a lot about that, he's still in. He obviously wasn't there."

Carrick on facing Leeds: "I think it's something you've got to thrive on and understand when you play certain games what it means for the wider picture. It's for so many people in different ways. Sometimes it's what you'd call a normal game, sometimes it's a little bit of a twist to it, and this is certainly one of them." #mufc

Michael Carrick on Kobbie Mainoo’s new contract: “It's getting closer, we're positive with that. we're calm with it, but we're positive and only time will tell how it will go. But we're in a good place with him.” #MUFC

Michael Carrick: “I have to say since we came in, and I said it straight away, I think that the squad, the mood, the attitude to want to do well for each other and actually want to do well for the club and the supporters, I could sense that straight away.

I think the boys have particularly had a good week going away for a few days and there was a freshness about the group which was really good to see. A good energy and a good kind of real positive spark, really. So, we need to carry that on but we've used the week as best as we could, and I think we're in a good place for it.”

Michael Carrick: “As much as we're looking, you know, obviously trying to qualify for the Champions League and what's behind us, we're definitely still looking at how many points we can achieve moving forward as well for the teams ahead of us.” #MUFC

Michael Carrick: “I think Champions League just brings so many positive things, and it's where we want to be, there’s no getting away from that, and that has ramifications for so many different things, whether that's players staying, if it is that, if it's players coming in. It's, financially, all sorts of different things. It's where we want to be, you know, and we need to try and get used to being in there more often.” #MUFC

KICKOFF!!

Lammens with an excellent save already

Leeds score

Amad🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Sesko man
What’s this?

Amad with a brilliant run and a brilliant ball to Sesko and he fumbles it

Cunha YC

Sesko ain’t hungry for goal man

Amad’s shot clearly going wide and he just stands there to not tap it in

If we some how get UCL football we will need experienced forwards

Chance for Leeds and they don’t make use of it
