Roy Keane brands Man United a ‘circus’ after Lisandro Martinez's extraordinary rant
Lisandro Martinez accused Manchester United’s hierarchy of lacking ambition after Tuesday’s loss at Atletico Madrid
Manchester United has been dubbed a "circus" by former captain Roy Keane, following Lisandro Martinez's scathing criticism of the club's management. The Argentine defender accused the club of lacking ambition and questioned their summer recruitment after a 2-0 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid. Keane described the situation at Old Trafford as chaotic, stating that the club's unity had been lost from the top to the bottom.
Both Keane and Gary Neville, a former United player, agreed that Martinez's comments were a direct attack on his teammates and suggested that senior players would be furious. Martinez attempted to diffuse the situation by saying he didn't think it would lead to a significant fallout, but acknowledged he saw himself more as a player making mistakes rather than a senior team member.
United has not publicly responded to Martinez's remarks, and he could face possible internal sanctions.
