Speaking to MUTV before kick-off, Carrick stressed the importance of sharing the pre-season minutes in his squad with some players further ahead than those who only recently returned from the World Cup. ‘We’ve got two or three different groups within our stage, the stages that the lads have been at in terms of when they’ve been back with us, how much training they’ve had, so we’re trying to get the balance right with that,’ Carrick said. ‘Giving younger players a chance as well, in a game and an occasion like this which feels, I have to say, it’s great to be here, feeling the energy of the stadium, I think that’s really good for the younger players to sample that tonight for their learning and to feel what it feels to play like for Manchester United in a game like this. ‘In terms of the ones who have just come back, some boys are not quite ready, Marcus, Licha [Martinez], Kobbie, they only came back a couple of days ago so we’ll save them until the weekend. ‘We’ve trained hard, the boys came in, Marcus, Lucha and Kobbie came in on Monday, they’ve had two or three sessions, they trained this morning really hard. ‘Recovery day tomorrow for everybody as a group. It’s important that we’ve got two or different stages but when we’re together as a group we stay like that so we’ll all recover tomorrow, train Friday and prepare for the game on Saturday, and again get the minutes and the balance right and then look strong going into next week.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Liverpool 2-4 LeedsCalvert-Lewin scores twice in comeback from 2-0 downAfter 45 minutes at Soldier Field the tale of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the US was of three straight wins and Andoni Iraola’s ideas taking shape thanks in no small part to Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. After 90, with Liverpool’s expensive duo off the scene, it centred on a stirring Leeds fightback and the recurrence of a fragility that Iraola could well do without.Daniel Farke’s team staged a convincing comeback to inflict a first defeat of pre-season on the new Liverpool head coach. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, twice, Brenden Aaronson and Sean Longstaff all scored in the space 25 minutes as Liverpool failed to deal with Leeds’ strength at set-pieces and the disruption caused by a series of half-times changes. The drop-off from Liverpool, who led 2-0 at half-time, following the departures of Wirtz, Isak, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha was drastic. Continue reading...
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has discovered a new lease of life in Yorkshire while Adrien Truffert made a big impressionConsidering the cost of signing elite Premier League strikers, Calvert-Lewin deserves a spot because he cost absolutely nothing. Plenty played a part in other clubs deciding the centre-forward was not for them after leaving Everton; his injury and goalscoring record left plenty to be desired but everyone knew what was available, if a club could get him fit. Still only 29, Calvert-Lewin wanted a change of scenery and has proved plenty wrong by missing only three Premier League games all season and producing the goals that have gone a long way to keeping his side in the Premier League – scoring seven in six games at the end of 2025 – and earning a first England call in five years along the way. “For me, he is one of the best English strikers in this league,” Daniel Farke said. “Harry Kane is playing in Germany for Bayern Munich, but in the Premier League, he is definitely one of the best English strikers and he will be a key player for us going forward.” Continue reading...
While the game finished with an air of despondency among the home fans, for Leeds it had been a 90-minute party in which they enjoyed a stress-free final day. Daniel Farke's side had made certain of their Premier League status two weeks ago, meaning they were able to enjoy the closing stages of the campaign. Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a close-range effort saved in the first half but once the Hammers took the lead, it was clear that the visitors had little desire to push themselves in the 30C heat for a result that would make little difference to the final outcome of their season.
Verdict: Dominic Calvert-Lewin over 0.5 shots on target Best Odds: 8/11 Bookmaker: Luckster Knowing that nothing less than three points will be enough this weekend, West Ham will welcome Leeds to east London on Sunday afternoon.
