**Martinez Says Sorry After Blasting Club Hierarchy**

Lisandro Martinez has put his hands up and apologised after letting rip at United’s higher-ups in what can only be described as a proper moment of madness from our Argentine warrior.

The tenacious centre-back, who we all love for his no-nonsense attitude on the pitch, clearly let his emotions get the better of him when he publicly criticised the club hierarchy. United have responded swiftly, slapping him with a fine and making it clear that airing grievances in public isn’t how we do things at Old Trafford.

Look, I get it. Passion runs deep at this club, and Martinez wears his heart on his sleeve every time he pulls on that red shirt. He’s been an absolute rock for us since arriving, throwing his body on the line week after week. But there’s a line, and he crossed it. Whatever frustrations he had should’ve been kept behind closed doors, especially with Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox working hard to rebuild this club properly under INEOS ownership.

Credit where it’s due though: Martinez has come out and apologised. That takes guts, and it shows the character we need in this squad. He knows he messed up, he’s owned it, and now it’s time to move on. The last thing Michael Carrick needs right now is internal drama when we’re still finding our feet in the early stages of the season.

What matters now is that everyone pulls in the same direction. We’ve got Champions League football back, a squad packed with quality like De Ligt, Šeško, and Cunha, and a Head Coach who bleeds United. Martinez needs to channel that fire where it belongs: into crunching tackles and keeping clean sheets, not into headlines we don’t need.

Let’s draw a line under this and focus on what really matters: getting behind the lads and pushing for silverware.
