EPL: 'So bad' - Schmeichel names disgraceful Man United star after 2-0 defeat to Chelsea

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has harshly criticized Lisandro Martinez, labeling his performance in the team's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea as "disgraceful." The Red Devils suffered a setback after a scoreless first half, with Martinez falling short in his defensive efforts. In the 50th minute, Morgan Rogers took advantage of Martinez's inadequate defending, capitalizing to put Chelsea ahead.

United's troubles deepened in the 64th minute when Cole Palmer scored a penalty after Martinez was dismissed for striking Wesley Fofana. Schmeichel holds Martinez responsible for the loss, asserting that the blame should rest entirely on him. He expressed frustration with Martinez's performance, stating that the defender's actions were "outrageous," particularly his play during the first goal and penalty situations.

Schmeichel also condemned Martinez's attitude after receiving a red card, noting his head-shaking exit from the pitch. The former Denmark international suggested that Martinez may be attempting to orchestrate a transfer, as he is in the final year of his contract.
