Man Utd have ‘moved on’ from Martinez outburst, says Carrick
Michael Carrick says Manchester United have put Lisandro Martinez’s outburst against the club’s hierarchy behind them, calling it 'not a drama' for the team.
Manchester United have put the recent controversy surrounding Lisandro Martinez behind them, according to team captain Michael Carrick. Carrick stated that the club has moved on from Martinez's outburst directed at the club's hierarchy following their 2-0 Champions League loss to Atletico Madrid. The Argentine defender criticized the technical director, Jason Wilcox, stating that he had expected more investment during the summer transfer window after United's third-place finish in the Premier League last season.
Martinez was reportedly fined for his comments, but Carrick assured that he will still be in the squad for the upcoming Premier League match against Leeds on Sunday. Carrick expressed on his pre-match press conference that the situation is "done" and that the group has moved on. Martinez apologized on Thursday, acknowledging that his passionate nature led him to express frustration during a time and place that were not ideal.
Former United captain Roy Keane described the situation as "a bit of a circus," while United's current form has been poor, with just two wins from nine games across all competitions and a lackluster 13th-place standing in the Premier League, having secured only one win in their last six matches.
