Manchester United has officially disciplined defender Lisandro Martinez with a substantial internal fine following his outspoken criticism of the club hierarchy.
The disciplinary action stems from an explosive post-match interview given by the Argentine center-back following a two-goal defeat to Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. During the media appearance, Martinez openly criticized the club's recruitment strategy and questioned the direction set by technical directors, sparking significant internal review at Old Trafford.
Club leadership met with the defender to address the breach of conduct regarding public statements. While Martinez subsequently issued public statements acknowledging that intense match frustration influenced his comments, management proceeded with a formal financial penalty to reinforce internal squad protocols
Despite the internal sanction, manager Michael Carrick retains full selection control over the player as the squad prepares for upcoming domestic fixtures. Internal sources indicate that club officials consider the disciplinary matter closed, though long-term questions regarding squad harmony and contract planning remain a focal point for the leadership team.
