Martinez available for Leeds trip after Man United criticism, Carrick says

Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has advised head coach Michael Carrick to leave out Bruno Fernandes from the starting lineup for their upcoming match against Leeds United. Manchester United have been struggling recently, failing to win in their last five matches and also settling for a draw in a recent UEFA Champions League game against Atletico Madrid.

Fernandes has been under scrutiny during this period, as he has not scored any goals in recent fixtures despite contributing a hat-trick and an assist earlier in the season. Parker, speaking to Metro UK, emphasized the need for a leader and criticized Fernandes for not delivering when required, stating that his performance is negatively impacting United's performance.

He also noted that Fernandes' frustration on the pitch is counterproductive to the team's goals, and that a strong manager would make this difficult decision to drop him. Currently sitting in 13th place in the Premier League, United have only won one league match out of their six games so far, and will face their rivals Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday, October 18th.
