Martín Cáceres, an Argentine defender for Manchester United, has been dominating headlines after criticizing the club's hierarchy and teammates following a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday. He specifically targeted director of football Jason Wilcox and accused some players of not working hard enough during the summer transfer window. After apologizing and being fined, Cáceres will be part of the matchday squad for Sunday's Premier League game against Leeds at Elland Road. Manchester United is seeking its first win in six games across all competitions to alleviate pressure on manager Michael Carrick. The team has trained well recently despite recent poor results.
