Lisandro Martinez criticizes Man Utd hierarchy after Atletico defeat

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez publicly criticized the club's hierarchy after their fourth defeat of the season, a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, saying the squad was not properly strengthened for Champions League competition. Martinez told Amazon Prime Video the performance was "really poor" and demanded more investment, specifically targeting technical director Jason Wilcox. He argued last season's foundation was wasted without squad improvements, though he defended manager Michael Carrick against blame, noting the club's £150m summer spending focused only on midfield signings. Carrick declined to comment on Martinez's remarks, calling them emotional, while midfielder Youri Tielemans also refused to respond. United have won just two matches across all competitions this season.
