Lisandro Martinez says SORRY! Argentine apologises for angry interview calling out Man United’s hierarchy – as he concedes his words ‘did not help’ after showdown talks with bosses

Lisandro Martinez has publicly apologized for criticizing Manchester United's hierarchy following clear-the-air talks with director of football Jason Wilcox and other club executives. The Argentine defender had lashed out at leadership for failing to adequately back manager Michael Carrick in the transfer window after a 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid. Martinez acknowledged in a statement that his emotional post-match remarks came at the wrong time and place.

Manager Michael Carrick attended the Carrington meeting ahead of Sunday's match against Leeds United, where defensive injuries make Martinez's availability crucial. Club chiefs now view the situation as resolved after Martinez decided to apologize on his own accord. Martinez faces an uncertain long-term future with his contract expiring in June, though United holds an option for a one-year extension.
