Manchester United restrict players from media after Elland Road draw
Summary

After a draw against Leeds United, Manchester United reportedly told players Lisandro Martinez, Bruno Fernandes, and Matheus Cunha not to speak to the media.

Martinez, who retained his starting position, was later withdrawn from the game at halftime due to a thigh injury. Harry Maguire addressed the media, commenting on the team dynamics following the incidents. United faces Como in a Champions League match in two days.
