Youri Tielemans caught up in Man Utd row as ex-Leicester City star put on spot

Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans declined to comment after teammate Lisandro Martinez publicly criticized the club's board following a 2-0 defeat in Madrid. Martinez told Amazon Prime that he expected more transfer investment and suggested decision-makers were to blame for the team's difficult start. When asked about the remarks, Tielemans refused to engage, stating the team must instead focus on working hard, trusting their structure, and converting chances.

Tielemans joined Manchester United from Aston Villa after his £35m release clause was triggered, arriving alongside midfield additions Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba under manager Michael Carrick. Martinez's critical comments also drew backlash from pundit Jamie Carragher, who argued on CBS Sports that the defender should not have aired his frustrations publicly.
