And the Man Utd boss confirmed the Argentina international that will travel to Yorkshire.

Carrick said: “Yeah, it’s done, really. Moved on from that. It was one of those things. I think it’s just come out and acknowledged the situation, and as a group, we’ve moved on. It’s really not drama for us as a group.

“I think the boys have trained really well. This morning, there was a really good feeling around the squad, a really good feeling, I have to say. They were in really good spirits and trained really well, so we’ve moved on pretty quickly.

“We all understood the situation and what it meant. Lisandro obviously made his statement, and he acknowledges that it was a mistake from him, and that was it, really.

“Results-wise, it hasn’t gone to plan of late, but the spirit, the togetherness. I said it today, today was one of the best training sessions we’ve had.

“And you can see there’s a real sense and a feeling within the group that we want to do something about this situation, and we want to do something about it really quickly.

“Hence, when I’m saying about moving on, we all acknowledge where we’re at, we accept that. You understand the situation that came up after the game.

“But it’s been dealt with, and we have moved on, genuinely moved on. There’s actually a freshness about the group today, which I really liked.”
