Man United dressing room make their stance clear after explosive Martinez rant
Following Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez publicly blamed technical director Jason Wilcox for the club's transfer failures.
Martinez's outburst stems from dissatisfaction with summer recruitment, where United spent around £155million on three midfielders while leaving defensive positions unaddressed despite recurring fitness issues.
"I expect more from our technical director," Martinez said, criticizing Wilcox for the team's current struggles and the quality of summer signings.
Multiple senior United players reportedly share the Argentine's frustration, believing the club failed to capitalize on positive momentum from the second half of last season.
With the team winless in five matches, Martinez may have jeopardized his own contract future as the board faces pressure to demonstrate a clear strategic plan.
After the tie with Tottenham, which confirmed the worst start in the Premier in 40 years, Manchester United lost to Atl. Madrid in the Champions and Flash interview of Lisandro Martínez became a crisis.
