"It was his first day with the group, great to have him back, but he won't be involved tomorrow,” Carrick told the media. “We'll see how he progresses for the week [ahead]."The sack looked as though it was looming after 4-1 and 3-0 thrashings by Como and Bournemouth respectively, but he was retained by the club’s hierarchy ahead of the trip to Chelsea last weeknend. Carrick was also asked about Martinez’s mindset after the Argentine’s red card, which followed on from his stunning TV interview in the wake of the defeat by Atletico Madrid last month. “I've got no concerns about commitment at all,” the head coach continued. “Things happen in football, sometimes you make mistakes, sometimes it goes well for you, but commitment is not an issue, for sure."
