Lisandro Martinez’s criticism prompts Roy Keane to call Man Utd ‘like a circus’

Martinez criticises United hierarchy

The Argentina international said Manchester United should have done more to strengthen the squad over the summer after qualifying for the Champions League. He also said he expected “more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox]”.

Keane said fans would be divided over the remarks, especially given Martinez’s form and the team’s struggles. He argued that players should look at their own performances before making public comments.

Keane questions Martinez’s standing

Keane said he did not consider Martinez a senior player at Manchester United. He described him as a centre-half who was making many mistakes and said the club lacked enough characters.

Neville objects to player criticism

Gary Neville also criticised Martinez’s remarks from a player’s perspective. Neville said they amounted to a direct attack on teammates. The disagreement follows Martinez’s criticism of the club’s leadership and has drawn attention to tensions within Manchester United.
