Lisandro Martinez has opened up on the dressing-room inquest that got Manchester United's top-four push back on track.
United got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Brentford, to take Erik ten Hag's side back up into fourth place. It was the response they needed after United's abject 2-0 defeat at top-four rivals Newcastle, which prompted a major inquest among Ten Hag's players.
Defender Martinez said United cannot afford a repeat of the Newcastle debacle if they want to secure a top-four finish and an immediate return to the Champions League. The Argentina World Cup winner said Ten Hag's men must show “fight” and “respect” for the United badge after failing to do so against Eddie Howe's side.
