All the latest headlines surrounding Manchester United head of their showdown with Leeds on Sunday afternoon

Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they travel to Elland Road to play bitter rivals Leeds United on Sunday. Michael Carrick has confirmed Lisandro Martinez is part of the matchday squad to face Leeds following his outburst.

The Manchester United defender took aim at director of football Jason Wilcox following the club's loss in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. Since the televised moment, a meeting has been held and Carrick confirmed the resolution was "pretty simple."

He added: "He made the statement and acknowledged it was a mistake on his part. We have a really good feeling within the group, the spirit and togetherness."

When asked if Martinez was available to face Leeds, Carrick said: "He's part of the squad, yeah." Meanwhile, with the club's prospects for the season already looking precarious, Carrick has also opened up on the club's hopes for the January transfer window, while reports in Spain suggest JJ Gabriel could be about to make a decision over which club to sign with.

Here, Manchester Evening News has all the other top headlines coming out of Old Trafford.

Michael Carrick shares plans

Carrick has confirmed that United intend to be active during the January transfer window, asserting the club will emerge from the month in better shape than before. When quizzed on what lies ahead in terms of recruitment, the 45-year-old said: "When the next transfer window comes, you want to plan, and you want to make the best of it.

"Whatever that looks like at this stage, we don't quite know. But without doubt, there's opportunity because the transfer window is open. So we'll definitely be looking at that and trying to come out stronger in whatever way that looks like."

Carrick is yet to confirm whether these intentions extend to potential departures, with full attention now firmly fixed on the Leeds fixture on Sunday afternoon.

JJ Gabriel 'moment of truth'

JJ Gabriel's future at United appears set to be resolved within the next few days, according to Spanish media. Sport claims that "the moment of truth is approaching" for Gabriel as he seeks to engineer a departure from the club.

The teenager submitted a request to terminate his registration at United last month after club chiefs disregarded his demands for a seven-figure salary and regular playing time. He has since been training alone in Barcelona, with links to the Catalan club, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich still remaining.

It is reported that Real are prepared to satisfy Gabriel's requirements of an £8.5million deal spanning three years, including bonuses for his family and agent. Bayern's sporting director, Christoph Freund, praised the 16-year-old as a brilliant talent, while Barca's chief, Deco, has publicly denied any interest.

It remains to be seen which club the youngster will ultimately commit to, but United are rapidly exhausting any remaining chances of retaining him.
