Lisandro Martinez admits to speaking out of ‘frustration’ in post-match comments

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez released an Instagram statement clarifying that his recent public criticism of the club was spoken out of anger and frustration. The 28-year-old Argentina international had accused the club hierarchy of lacking ambition and questioned recruitment following a 2-0 Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid, which extended United's winless run to five matches in all competitions.

Martinez emphasized that players hold primary responsibility on the pitch and expressed belief in his teammates and manager Michael Carrick. United face Leeds United on Sunday, with Martinez potentially facing internal sanctions following his remarks on CBS and Prime Video.
