When is Carrick's pre-Leeds press conference?

The boss will field questions from journalists at our Carrington base in the afternoon, rather than in the usual Friday slot.

This is as the squad have been away in Ireland, enjoying a training camp in preparation for the long-awaited return of the Premier League.

Look out for full coverage of the briefing appearing across our official channels, including ManUtd.com and the United App, from 14:00 BST.

Carrick is likely to be asked to provide an update on team news for the Old Trafford clash, which kicks off at 20:00 BST on Monday night.

Lisandro Martinez has returned to team training, while Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu continued on his road to recovery out in Dublin.

Harry Maguire is suspended, following his red card at Bournemouth.

A lot has happened since the Reds were last in action, drawing 2-2 at Bournemouth on 20 March.

A number of our players participated in internationals for their respective countries, with Turkey's Altay Bayindir qualifying for the World Cup finals.

The Emirates FA Cup quarter-finals were then staged last weekend, while United focused on preparing for the Leeds encounter by setting up the trip to Ireland.

With plenty of time to focus on the task in hand, Carrick's men will look to come out flying in front of home fans, against our rivals from across the Pennines.
