What Sir Jim Ratcliffe really thinks of Jason Wilcox’s work at Man United

Manchester United's recent 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League demonstrated a lack of intensity and edge in their performance. Lisandro Martínez, who kept their second clean sheet of the season, expressed his frustration towards the United management during a post-match interview. The World Cup winner criticized director of football Jason Wilcox for not strengthening the team sufficiently during the summer transfer window.

Martínez expressed his belief that the current squad was not strong enough to cope with such a challenging match. This assessment gained the support of United's minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who was instrumental in Wilcox's appointment. Ratcliffe has maintained his backing for Wilcox, despite the criticism from Martínez. United officials are currently evaluating Martínez's comments, with the potential for disciplinary action pending an outcome on Thursday.
