Michael Carrick arriving at Old Trafford
Michael Carrick has been asked about the changes to his Manchester United line-up for the visit of Roma in the UEFA Champions League.
The boss has elected to introduce Ayden Heaven and Kobbie Mainoo, in place of Lisandro Martinez and Andrey Santos, who started the 2-0 loss at Chelsea on Saturday.
Martinez was sent off for two yellow cards in quick succession at Stamford Bridge and will miss the weekend clash against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Mainoo, meanwhile, starts alongside Carlos Baleba in midfield for the first time.
"You’ve got to pick a team," Carrick told Amazon Prime. "We’ve got a good squad and we’ve got decisions to make.
"We’ve changed one or two in recent weeks, and we made a decision to go with that team tonight.
"We’ve got some really good midfielders, with different combinations and different strengths. Andrey and Carlos have played together recently, and Kobbie’s back fit.
"We just felt it was a good stage to put him back in. You’d obviously like to think they complement each other with the attributes they both have.
"So, yeah, I’m looking forward to seeing them together."
