Lisandro Martinez was stupid, selfish and let the club down: Man United fans may have loved ‘The Butcher’ but losing his head is the latest act on the road to a bitter Old Trafford exit, writes CHRIS WHEELER

Daily Mail columnist Chris Wheeler argues that Lisandro Martinez let Manchester United down after receiving a second yellow card against Chelsea. Martinez conceded a penalty for striking Wesley Fofana in the penalty box, allowing Cole Palmer to score Chelsea's second goal. Wheeler contends that this moment of indiscipline could hasten the defender's departure from Old Trafford as his contract approaches its conclusion in June.

The article highlights growing concerns over Manchester United's form under manager Michael Carrick, who faces increased pressure. Wheeler notes that United have struggled for victories this season, leaving them near the relegation zone. With Martinez suspended for the upcoming fixture against Aston Villa, the writer also suggests that captain Bruno Fernandes's influential tenure at the club may similarly be nearing an end.
