Speaking at his press conference to preview the game, head coach Michael Carrick suggested there are no fresh issues arising from last weekend’s 2-0 derby win over Manchester City.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to tell you the team first off [laughs],” he began. “No, everyone came through the game really well actually. I can\u2019t tell you anything, apart from the obvious.”<\/p>\n
In a separate interview with MUTV, he added: “The boys are in a really good place, off the back of last week. They’re training really well, so I can see how much they’re in it and focused and feed off the energy.<\/p>\n
“The boys came through it really well [last weekend]. It was big, there’s no getting away from it, an emotional day, physically and mentally, and a big lift.<\/p>\n
“In terms of the levels, it was huge but the boys came through it really well. They had a day or two to rest but trained really hard and well for a couple of days, and freshed up for the game, so we’re in a good place.<\/p>\n
“We’re looking forward to a real challenge, one for us we’re going down to face head on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking at his press conference to preview the game, head coach Michael Carrick suggested there are no fresh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":387879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[145854,3214,49,1753,18043,50,16321,1755,16322,51,47,52,48,1756],"class_list":["post-387878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-2026_01_25_emirates_stadium_london","tag-first-team","tag-headlines","tag-like","tag-matthijs-de-ligt","tag-news","tag-noussair-mazraoui","tag-search","tag-team-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-united-now"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=387878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/387879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=387878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=387878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=387878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
