‘I expect more’: the key questions from Martínez’s Manchester United broadside | Jamie Jackson

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez publicly criticized the club's executive leadership and director of football Jason Wilcox following a 2-0 defeat against Atlético Madrid. Martínez stated that he expected more investment in the squad, echoing broader squad bemusement after the club prioritized three midfielders during the summer transfer window while leaving the aging defensive line without reinforcements.

Jamie Jackson examines the internal fallout at Old Trafford, noting scrutiny over Wilcox's transfer decisions and past management turnover alongside head coach Michael Carrick's poor start to the season. The Guardian reports that United players back Carrick despite earning only six points from six league games, amidst mounting disciplinary concerns following an ambiguous social media outburst from forward Amad Diallo.
