Lisandro Martinez Apologises for Criticising Man United

Lisandro Martinez has apologised for his criticism of Manchester United’s leadership after holding what he described as a “very positive” meeting with the manager Michael Carrick and the senior club officials.

The Argentine defender met with the club’s leadership on Thursday after publicly questioning United’s transfer strategy and investment in the squad.

Two days earlier, following the 2-0 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, Martinez said that the result reflected the club’s problems and admitted that he had expected more from the director Jason Wilcox.

In a statement shared on social media, Martinez confirmed that he had spoken openly with Carrick and the club’s leadership after training.

“Everyone knows that I am a passionate person and that I live football with great intensity. The frustration of the defeat led me to express how I felt at a time and place that perhaps were not the right ones, and for that I want to apologise,” he said.

The defender also acknowledged that his comments had not helped maintain unity at the club.

“Our club is at its best when we are all united, and I recognise that my words in that moment did not help with that,” Martinez added.

He concluded by stressing that the team was now focused on moving forward together.

“With this situation now behind us, we are fully focused on winning together.”
