Michael Carrick has made a bold decision on Lisandro Martinez against Leeds United after the Manchester United defender launched a midweek tirade against the board

Michael Carrick has made a bold decision on Lisandro Martinez for the Premier League clash against Leeds United following the Manchester United defender's midweek outburst at the board.

An under-pressure United side head to Elland Road for a daunting test against their old rivals, who are in contrasting mood and spirit.

Leeds tasted defeat for the first time this season in the league last time out against Arsenal, but United cross the Pennines winless in five.

The talking point ahead of the clash has been Martinez's future at the club after his rant at the board following the Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid, but the Argentine defender starts.

Martinez partners Harry Maguire at centre-back, with Leny Yoro moving to right-back, and Diogo Dalot starting on the left. Carlos Baleba comes in for his first Premier League start for the club since making a £70million move from Brighton in the summer.
