Will Lisandro Martinez be punished by Man United? Defender facing repercussions of Atletico outburst
- Following Manchester United's 2-0 Champions League loss to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, defender Lisandro Martinez criticized director of football Jason Wilcox for insufficient summer transfer business during a post-match Prime Video interview.
- Although United spent £155 million on new signings including Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, Martinez argued the club failed to adequately support manager Michael Carrick, suggesting the Ineos-led boardroom deserves scrutiny.
- Pointing to the team's worst points tally after six games since 1986, Martinez called for more ambition, stating, "We need more ambition. We need to talk more about winning the Champions League."
- Manager Michael Carrick declined to comment on the interview, citing a need for more information, and emphasized, "There is a big game on Sunday, and it's really important that we stay focused."
- Pressure mounts on the squad as they prepare for Sunday's trip to West Yorkshire to face rivals Leeds, with Carrick praising the players' effort despite their early-season struggles and visible frustration.
