Martinez issues blistering criticism of Man Utd board after loss

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has launched a blistering attack on the club's hierarchy for not strengthening the squad following qualification for the Champions League. Tuesday's 2-0 defeat by Atletico Madrid means United have now gone five games without a win. Their last victory was against Azerbaijan champions Sabah FK on 10 September. Their only other win this season came against newly promoted Ipswich at Old Trafford, when they had to come from behind. United finished third in the Premier League last term to seal a Champions League return for the first time in three years.
