Martinez cleared to face Leeds after accepting Man United apology

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez will be available for selection in Sunday's Premier League fixture against Leeds United, manager Michael Carrick announced, after the club accepted the player's apology for his recent remarks on the team's transfer policy.

The Argentine international had drawn criticism following public comments about Manchester United's recruitment strategy. However, the matter has been resolved internally, with Martinez apologising for his statements, allowing the defender to return to the squad for the upcoming away match.

Carrick's confirmation of Martinez's availability comes as Manchester United prepares for the challenging fixture at Elland Road. The defender, a key player in the club's defensive setup, will now be in contention for selection as the team seeks to maintain momentum in the Premier League campaign.

The resolution marks the end of a brief controversy surrounding the defender's future at the club. With the matter closed, Manchester United can focus on their forthcoming fixture against their Yorkshire rivals as they continue their domestic campaign.
