Story summary

Lisandro Martinez, a defender for Manchester United, criticized the club's management after they lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. His comments came as United struggled with a five-game winless streak and were seen by former captain Roy Keane as indicative of chaos within the team. Martinez expressed disappointment over the lack of summer transfers despite qualifying for the Champions League, specifically calling out technical director Jason Wilcox. Manager Michael Carrick stated that the club has "moved on" from this incident, with Martinez fined but still available to play against Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday. The team is currently 12th in the league table and faces ongoing issues regarding player discontent and performance.

As such, it remains to be seen whether Shaw and Mainoo feature against Leeds on Sunday, with Carrick insisting that his side are in “a good place” despite sitting 12th in the league. They are also on a winless run of five games which stretches back to last month’s 4-0 victory over minnows Sabah on their return to the Champions League.
