“We’ve done the opposite”: Peter Schmeichel speaks out on Lisandro Martinez public outburst

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has criticized Lisandro Martinez for publicly targeting technical director Jason Wilcox and the club hierarchy. Following a Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, Martinez voiced frustration during post-match interviews over summer transfer business, declaring he expected more from Wilcox. Although Martinez subsequently met with club officials and issued a carefully worded apology, he did not explicitly apologize directly to Wilcox or retract his criticisms.

Speaking on The Overlap Daily, Schmeichel stated that such grievances should have been handled internally and noted that Sir Alex Ferguson would not have tolerated players stepping out of line. However, Schmeichel conceded that he did not entirely disagree with the defender's underlying football argument, observing that successful clubs build their squads from the back rather than from the front.
