Sir Jim Ratcliffe and at least one of the Glazer family are at Manchester United\u2019s training base on Thursday to support the interim manager, Michael Carrick<\/a>, before Saturday\u2019s derby with Manchester City.<\/p>\n

United were due to hold an executive committee meeting of senior management at a different location but this was moved to Carrington so that they could speak to Carrick before the first game of his second caretaker tenure.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe and the six Glazer siblings are the majority owners of United. It is thought at least one of Avram and Joel Glazer is at Carrington. Other members of the executive committee include Omar Berrada, the chief executive, and Roger Bell, the chief financial officer.<\/p>\n

Carrick is training the squad for only the second time since his appointment, the 44-year-old\u2019s first session coming on Wednesday. He is relishing taking on City. \u201cThe big games, the important games, are what we all live for\u201d Carrick told United\u2019s in-house media<\/a><\/p>\n

United are out of the Carabao Cup<\/a> and FA Cup<\/a> and not in continental competition so there is only qualification for European football left to play for in Carrick\u2019s 17 league games in charge. With United seventh, he struck a confident note. \u201cThere is a lot of talent here,\u201d said Carrick. \u201cAnd there are a good number of younger players as well, finding their way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The defender Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, who returned from a serious knee injury in late November, has said he considered retirement after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury last February.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the first two or three weeks, to tell you the truth, I didn\u2019t want to play football any more,\u201d he told AFA Estudio<\/a>. \u201cBecause I had already suffered the fracture in my foot, then I had the knee and I said: \u2018I don\u2019t want to know anything else.\u2019 And then, clearly, one becomes more aware, one starts to have that support \u2026 The easy way is to throw in the towel and that\u2019s it. I always say that in the face of adversity, that\u2019s when you show your true personality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old said that after a \u201cconstant struggle\u201d on the road to recovery, and help from family, friends, physios and a psychologist, he felt physically and mentally better than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sir Jim Ratcliffe and at least one of the Glazer family are at Manchester United\u2019s training base on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-697616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115899099957304144","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
