Statement Follows Criticism
Lisandro Martínez issued a public message emphasizing belief in his teammates, the manager and all staff to advance Manchester United. The 28-year-old spoke after the side lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid, where he had expressed frustration over summer recruitment. In his follow-up remarks the defender accepted that players must deliver results and said he places himself at the front of that duty.
Focus on Standards and Ambition
Martínez described the need for everyone at the club to raise ambition and meet higher standards. He noted that growth requires the group to demand more from itself and work together to return the team to the top. The defender added that his own aim remains unchanged since joining: to win and compete at the highest level while giving everything for the club.
Season Results and Transfer Spending
United have recorded just two victories across their nine matches so far, a 5-2 league win over Ipswich Town and a 4-0 Champions League victory against Sabah FK. The club invested £150 million on Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans during the summer window. The defender said his earlier words came from anger at the result and frustration with the outcome.
Commitment to the Club
Martínez highlighted the passion and commitment he brings to every match and the hurt felt when results fall short at a club of Manchester United's stature. He said high standards are part of representing the shirt and that the path forward lies in continued work with ambition and unity.
