Carrick is grateful for the fans' enthusiastic support: We are truly very lucky.

Manchester United, nicknamed the "Red Devils," took the lead in a friendly match thanks to a goal from Zirkzee, but conceded a goal later in the game. However, they ultimately prevailed 5-4 on penalties against Leeds United. Carrick stated that he felt fortunate to receive such enthusiastic support from the fans.

In the 16th minute, Mbourneau dribbled forward and passed the ball across the goal, where Zirkzee immediately slotted it home, giving Manchester United a 1-0 lead. In the 29th minute, Daniel James passed the ball to Brendon Allensen, who received it and fired a shot into the net, leveling the score at 1-1 for Leeds United.

The match went to penalties, with Luke Shaw, Cunha, Jack Fletcher, Tielemans, and Mazraoui all scoring. Ultimately, Manchester United defeated Leeds United 5-4 in this friendly.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick said: "I really enjoyed the game, it felt like a real match. I have to say the support from the fans has been incredible since we arrived here. We are very lucky to have so many people here to support us and to have this atmosphere."

“The young players performed exceptionally well, and everyone did a great job in their positions. It was a tough game because the opponents were also a very strong team. Leeds United made some personnel changes, and they fielded two lineups that were almost equally strong. It was a good challenge for us, and of course, it was great to win. We gained a lot of positive things.”

Speaking about Rashford supporting his teammates from the sidelines, Carrick said, "Rashford is our player, and he's in great form. I've known Rashford for a long time, and he brings something different to the team. He's been back for about two or three days, and he's been training, and everything is going very well."

"It's very important that no one is injured. The situation is a bit complicated because the players are at different stages of recovery, and we need to get everyone back to the same level of fitness next week."

In addition, Carrick said, "The other players are in good physical condition, and basically everyone is in good shape. Now we need to arrange training properly, and at the same time hope that most players can participate in the upcoming games in different ways."

"In the next game, we will give more playing time to the players who need more playing time, which will also help us plan our training for the next week to prepare for the match against Hull City."
