Manchester United player apologises for harsh criticism of club leadership
United have two wins in nine matches and 13th place in the Premier League. Lisandro Martinez criticized the leadership for not strengthening the squad, and then apologized, explaining his words with disappointment over the loss
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez said on Instagram (owned by Meta, the company is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) that he met with the club's management and apologized for his criticism of him after losing to Atletico in the Champions League.
Manchester United on October 13 with a score of 0: 2 lost to Madrid. After the game, Martinez said he expected a more serious investment in the squad as well as "more from our technical director" (Jason Wilcox). The footballer was then fined, the BBC notes.
Martinez admitted he was disappointed by the defeat and likely chose the "wrong time and place" to voice his emotions.
United have only two wins in nine games of the season and 13th place in the English Championship.
Martinez's contract, which has been playing for United since 2022, expires at the end of the season and the club has yet to activate an extension option.
The defender is the 2022 world champion in the Argentina national team.
