- Lisandro Martinez launched a direct attack on Manchester United's board and director of football Jason Wilcox, accusing the club of lacking ambition and questioning their summer recruitment following a 2-0 Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid.
- Former United captain Roy Keane labelled the club a "circus" and described the atmosphere at Old Trafford as “chaotic” from top to bottom, while questioning Martinez's standing to criticise others given his own recent poor performances.
- Gary Neville claimed senior players such as Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire would be "absolutely fuming" with the Argentine centre-back, arguing that Martinez's public comments effectively undermined his current team-mates.
- Reports indicate Martinez was confronted by at least one team-mate on the flight back from Spain, although some members of the dressing room are believed to share his frustrations regarding the club's trajectory.
- While Manchester United have not officially responded to the outburst, Martinez may face internal sanctions, with Neville noting that the defender could find himself on the chopping block if new signings are prioritised.
