The Red Devils cross the Irish Sea without three notable absentees. Diogo Dalot and backup goalkeeper Tom Heaton stay behind in Manchester due to illness, while Matthijs de Ligt — sidelined since November's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace — also misses out with a persistent back injury that looks set to end his season prematurely.
The news is better elsewhere. Lisandro Martinez and Patrick Dorgu both travel with the squad as they step up their returns from the treatment table, offering Carrick an encouraging boost ahead of a demanding run-in.
Three academy players make the trip — Yuel Helafu, Jim Thwaites and Victor Musa — as Carrick continues to blood younger options.
Bruno Fernandes came through international duty unscathed and joins Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro in midfield. Up front, Carrick has his full attack available — Matheus Cunha, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko all make the journey.
United head into the Leeds fixture off the back of a mixed run of form, and Carrick will hope the Dublin camp sharpens his side ahead of a closing stretch that also includes Chelsea, Brentford, Liverpool, Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Brighton.
Leeds arrive at Old Trafford with their own injury concern — midfielder Anton Stach rolled his ankle in Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham and his involvement is in doubt.
Full squad: Bayindir, Lammens, Mee, Heath; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Malacia, Dorgu, Yoro, Shaw, Heaven, Helafu; Mount, Fernandes, Casemiro, Ugarte, Mainoo, Thwaites; Cunha, Zirkzee, Diallo, Mbeumo, Sesko, Musa.
