Manchester United center back Lisandro Martínez unloaded against the club’s board and especially the club’s director of football Jason Wilcox for their 2026 summer transfer window business in a spectacular rant following Tuesday’s 2–0 Champions League defeat against Atlético Madrid.
After a stellar second half of 2025–26 that resulted in United removing the interim tag from Michael Carrick’s job title and appointing him as permanent manager, the Red Devils have started 2026–27 with just two wins in nine games. After the match against Atlético, a visibly enraged Martínez took aim at United’s hierarchy.
