Man United defender Martínez blames club hierarchy after Atlético defeat

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez has criticized the club's management for not strengthening the squad sufficiently, following their 2-0 Champions League loss to Atlético Madrid. Martínez, speaking after the match in Madrid, accused the club's hierarchy, particularly director of football Jason Wilcox, of failing to invest adequately in new talent.

He stressed that while individual player improvement was necessary, building a strong squad was crucial for competing against top European teams. Martínez also questioned the focus on managerial changes, suggesting that other aspects of club management should be examined when results decline. United has spent around £150 million on new signings during the summer transfer window, less than some of their Premier League rivals.
