Martinez's critique deepens Manchester United crisis after Atletico defeat

sportingnews.com —

Manchester United lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, conceding after 53 seconds, with defender Lisandro Martinez delivering a scathing post-match critique of the club's board, investment, and coaching. Atletico's Pablo Barrios scored early after Alex Baena's assist, while Leny Yoro's red card and Ademola Lookman's goal sealed United's defeat. The loss leaves United winless in five matches, with Martinez publicly questioning the squad's quality and technical director Jason Wilcox's role. Martinez also appeared to challenge manager Michael Carrick's tactics, saying teams have figured United out. Carrick dismissed the outburst as post-match emotion, but the club faces internal discussions before Sunday's trip to Leeds.
