​According to the Daily Mail, tensions and dissatisfaction within the Manchester United dressing room are growing, with Lisandro Martinez reportedly clashing with Youri Tielemans during the team's flight back to Manchester.

Martinez had previously criticised Manchester United's recruitment strategy publicly in Madrid, admitting that he had expected more from football director Jason Wilcox. When Tielemans was asked in front of the cameras about his teammate's comments, he gave a brief response: "No comment." However, the two players reportedly had a confrontation later during the return flight.

The Daily Mail also reports that the positive relationship Carrick had built with his players during the team's training camp in Ireland, where they bonded over golf, is gradually breaking down. Some players believe the quality of training sessions under Carrick and his coaching staff has declined, while others feel that his possession-focused 4-2-4 system does not suit the current squad and places unrealistic demands on the players.

Following the defeat to Como, Bruno Fernandes also publicly questioned Carrick's tactics, becoming the second member of the team's leadership group to openly express dissatisfaction. Carrick subsequently responded: "If you don't run forward and you don't run back, you can't win football matches." The two later held an honest conversation and resolved their differences, but questions surrounding the atmosphere and relationships inside the Manchester United dressing room remain.
