United lost to Chelsea in the Premier League over the weekend, in a game where Lisandro Martinez picked up a red card. When Martinez walked off the pitch, Carrick did not make eye contact with the player, which made headlines. Last month, after United’s Champions League loss at Atletico Madrid, Martinez had criticized the United management for not adequately fortifying in the transfer window.“I’ve got no concerns about the commitment at all,” Carrick said of Martinez at the press conference. “Things happen in football — sometimes you do things, sometimes you make a decision, sometimes you make mistakes, sometimes it goes well for you. The commitment is not an issue for sure.” Manchester United’s head coach Michael Carrick applauds supporters while Bruno Fernandes looks on ahead of the start of the English Premier League match between Manchester United and Bournemouth.

That is what I’m focused on. I really am. Whatever happens is going to happen after that, in whatever direction it goes in. But we want to make it a big night tomorrow night first.”
