Lisandro Martinez blames Man Utd board after Atletico Madrid League loss
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has criticised the club’s board after a 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Martinez said he expected more investment from "upstairs" during the summer and directly called out technical director, Jason Wilcox, stating, "I expect more from our technical director. I have to be honest. And also, as a player, we have to do more." He added that the team had a fantastic season last season and now needs reinforcements to compete with rivals who have strengthened their squads.
The criticism highlights growing frustration within the United camp and comes after the club has failed to win any of its last five matches across all competitions. For Nigerian fans who follow the Premier League closely, internal discord at a club they support can affect match enjoyment, betting decisions, and perceptions of the team’s competitiveness. It also raises questions about whether the board will act in the January transfer window to address squad depth.
Will Martinez’s public pressure push the board to sign new players soon, or will the lack of response deepen divisions and affect United’s chances of turning their season around?
