Michael Carrick told to axe three Man United starters after international break

Marcus Rashford , Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw should all be under close inspection from Manchester United manager Michael Carrick.

That is the opinion of experienced former Tottenham , Everton and Aston Villa scout, Bryan King, speaking exclusively to Football Insider.

After the international break, Carrick will be tasked with turning around what has been a dismal start to the season at Old Trafford and will likely have to make changes.

Man United have won just one of five Premier League games in the new campaign, and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Brighton in an embarrassing collapse after going 2-0 up.

The pressure is growing in intensity for Carrick, who was appointed in the summer after leading the Red Devils to Champions League qualification as an interim manager.
