Wilcox the target again in another damaging Man Utd falling-out

Lisandro Martinez has openly criticized Manchester United's technical director Jason Wilcox following a 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid. Speaking to CBS, the Argentine defender demanded more ambition and claimed United's current squad lacks the quality of other top clubs. The outburst marks another high-profile falling-out involving Wilcox, who previously clashed with former manager Ruben Amorim prior to his dismissal.

Despite the controversy, club sources insist that Wilcox is in no danger of losing his job. However, the comments have put manager Michael Carrick in a difficult position amid a five-game winless run, with internal scrutiny growing over the club's summer recruitment strategy and wider leadership under minority owner Ineos.
