Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has said he is "telling you the truth" as he described the club's intention to move on following an explosive post-match interview given by Lisandro Martinez.
Carrick addressed the matter publicly after the interview prompted fresh attention and what the club has characterised as internal fallout. The manager emphasised that his account of the situation was accurate and that the organisation would focus on resolving the issue internally.
The remarks underline the tightrope facing the club as it balances managing player relations, public scrutiny and on-field priorities. Carrick's statement did not set out disciplinary measures or detailed steps, but it signalled a desire from the management to draw a line under the episode.
United officials have indicated the club will emphasise unity and concentrate on upcoming fixtures rather than prolonging the debate. For now, Carrick's comments serve as the official public response as the club seeks to contain the situation and turn attention back to football matters.
