Dressing room fears emerge at Man United after Lisandro Martinez ‘dropped a bomb’

Michael Carrick’s problems at Manchester United have gone beyond results after Lisandro Martinez publicly criticised the club’s hierarchy following Tuesday’s Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid. United were beaten 2-0 in Spain, extending their winless run to five matches in all competitions. Carrick was already facing questions about performances, but Martinez’s comments about the board and recruitment strategy have now created another unwanted storyline. Former Premier League scout Bryan King believes the defender’s interview could cause problems inside the dressing room as well as increase the pressure surrounding Carrick.
