Lisandro Martinez has blasted the club's lack of investment - Speaking after the loss to Atletico

I've said it once there are a lot of people responsible for united and yes we can keep sacking managers and getting new ones, but will that help?

You cannot have a tycoon signing the 4th best players, when he [Ratcliffe] knows zilts about soccer. He's protecting his investment, damaging this club. Lucha's utterance highlighted the situation in this club, and Man U supporters hate the truth.

I stand with him on that, he is right for how long are they going to keep sacking managers for their poor investments. You demand much from a manager when you invest much. Look at Man city, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool

He was well within his right to say what he did. How anyone can disagree with him baffles me!

DChcsOhraita This guy Martinez performance on the field is awful especially against 10 men Tottenham and he has no business to talk such nonsense. Good teams are built by focussing on fundamentals, proper coaching and training which results in high intensity, creativity and attacking, fluid football on the field. Ineffective Coach is the primary reason.

I 150% agree with Martinez we have been lied to from day 1 about what he wants to bring to the club and all he has brought in is a director that couldn't direct traffic and a lot of mediocre players,and all the fans won't say anything

ManU continues its downward spiral because we refuse to buy the best players. All we get are substandard rejects from other clubs. Ashworth and Wilcox say they refuse to overpay for players! But the cost we have to pay for these elite players is the GOING RATE! If we don't pay these prices we continue to field substandard teams full of poor players. Carrick

Martinez. The Club owners are not responsible for losses to teams with less talent. If you were winning those, but losing to better talented teams, I would agree with you 💯

A draw with a team at the bottom of the Premiership League Table has nothing to do with further investment. What would we have expected with an even better team, Athletico?

Lisandro Was 110% Correct. Hopefully that will put a Rocket Up the team, and They Show Up Against Leeds. How on Earth is Dalot getting Game Time???. He gets a Nose Bleed when he gets to the Edge of the Box. He WON'T take the defenders on. He passes back, or EVEN WORSE, passes back to the Keeper, When All the Players ARE WAITING IN THE BOX. A DISGRACE.

VAH EW Od taHW He was 100% right, no question! The overall strategy of Ineos will break the club is something is not done and soon. What do they know about building a team to win things? Nothing, especially the main culprit Jason Wilcox! How can you compete with the best, without recruiting the best? Good old Jason waits to buy their cast off's

Truth pains but it helps when analyse, so Martinez was right to say the board but also the head coach trying players in any position make it hard for them to copy up.

Hes spot on, the board have not backed Carra, but the players need to take responsibility, they are terrible. No formation, no tactics, no press, we have regressed under Carra

Martinez is showing professional pride and passion, unlike some other players who are no more than mercenaries. He has probably destroyed his chances of a new contract at Old Trafford but he has shown commitment.

Absolutely 100 per cent Wilcox has no right being sporting director

Thank you Lisandro you spoke truth not gossip. You need proper tools when doing a job.

you know Martinez will be sold now,even though it was TRUE

If players were not to blame and played like if they care about the club, I'll support him 100%. But seeing them on the pitch not running with intensity and fighting spirit I cannot support him on that matter! I am always behind the players 100% but their level of commitment on the pitch was inconsistent

Truth is always bitter

Defence will cist us the season.

There are several ways to look at this. 1) he's right in what he says 2) it's easy to speak out when you're likely to leave next summer - with contract expiring 3) it explains why Bruno has looked p***ed off and out of sorts all season/break down in trust with board over false promises 4) it doesn't excuse the fact Martinez hasn't been performing well. ETC

Licha is speaking the minds of the players and the fans. The Glazers/Ratcliffe/Ineos Conundrum is pathetic. They have no record of success in football and if they cannot invest in United by supplying Carrick with the mateials he needs to succeed, they should sell their shares and leave. United need at least 2 new strong center backs and 2 new strong strikers

Is that why he is not running enough in games? Is that why Martinez is costing United goals against Ipswich, Fulham, Tottenham? At least do your job first, then point the finger at someone else. Utd is the worst team in the top two Divisions at the moment in terms of just playing basic football!

OemalB Well he is spot on with his comments, they were so hung up on replacing the midfield they should have looked at the whole team. As for his comments on Radcliffe he seems to have been obsessed with rebuilding the stadium but it's the team that matters. All this when the glaziers have been taking more money out of United each year.

I know you guys love your club, but the real fact is he's saying the truth and I feel that, that's what other players feels too. He has the right to speak his mind and sometimes the truth is bitter to hear.

He wasn't the worst defender in that game.

Might wake them up a bit. I agree with him

He was absolutely right to speak out, but he’s one of the ones not good enough…

His right because whatever that's happening to us (United ❤️) is from the directors and owner's

It’s actually refreshing to hear a player come out and speak like this but there’s a time and a place and it isn’t after a performance like that. He makes valid points but it comes across as deflection.

That's the best way to name the problems.

It’s right they have to back the coach

Interesting to see Martinez and also Amad on Snapchat going after the ones above the manager. Player power in a dressing room with the manager involved against the board is an interesting dynamic and I’m really keen on seeing how it all pans out

There has been one constant in all these years, Fernandes, he's a luxury player, I'm not doubting his talent but we can't carry passengers and to often in games that's what he is, lauded for his assists last season, but let's be real it's only because Casemiro's head was on the end of them !!

It's not Martinez's job to critcise the sporting director, even if he is right, just like it's not the sporting director's job to come out and say Martinez has been shit this season. You don't need ambition in the transfer window to be able to defend a simple cross against Dominic Solanke.

We are, and have been for some time, dictated to by debt. A debt that is none of Utds making. Martinez is right because even though they cant compete with big money signings they could have been more aggresive in pursuit of others. I dont want to see Utd go backwards with the debt but i do think they have to take a punt if they want someone

His comments are factual, although probably uttered on the wrong stage. This club is in crisis, and Licha acknowledges that. Somebody had to say it. Wazza should admit that the players were disrespectful through their on-field performance.

I don't like Martinez so i don't support him but i do agree with what he says there has been a lack of investment. Ineos have bought younger players but there is a lack of mature players, what happens when Bruno and Maguire leave? those two are real leaders of the team, a voice in the dressing room.

“I expected more from the technical director” Wilcox has to go, he’s let down ETH, Amorim and now Carrick and all our senior players who were begging for investment

Always easy to blame others.

Good on Lisandro. Feels a bit like he wants out and knows he’ll achieve it with this given what happened to Amorim and the timing coming after a decent performance. But it still needed to be said, guarantee he isn’t alone in feeling like this when you see how unhappy Bruno has been all season. Leadership group are making it clear. They need to stand together

Tell you what…. The Netflix documentary is gonna be entertaining at least 🤣

Blaming the technical director after some of the performances he’s been putting up lately… the players have to take responsibility

Wow. That’s about as scathing as you can expect from an employee. This says a lot. The players know the club is rotten to the core and in desperate need of a proper overhaul… not just a lick of paint. INEOS have BIG questions to answer.

I respect him for speaking out. Not sure about the timing, but at least he cares enough to rip into the board
