Lisandro Martinez says his outburst came out of 'anger and frustration'

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez says he "spoke out of anger and frustration" when launching a scathing attack on the club's hierarchy.

Martinez said he expected more investment in the United squad and "more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox]".

"After the match, I spoke out of anger and frustration at not getting the result we all wanted," he wrote in a social media post.

"My words reflect how I feel and how much I want to see this club competing for the biggest honours.

"When I talk about wanting more, I'm talking about the ambition we must all have as part of this club.

"These are standards we must all hold ourselves to, starting with me."

Manchester United have not won in five games since beating Sabah in the Champions League on 10 September.

Martinez's contract expires at the end of the season and United have the option to extend it by another year.

"We need to demand even more of ourselves and work together to take Manchester United back to the top.

"I'm convinced that the way forward is to keep working together, with ambition and commitment.
