EPL: Man Utd players not happy with club’s ‘direction’ as Carrick fights for his job

This has been revealed amid the outburst from defender Lisandro Martinez after the 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Martinez accused the club’s hierarchy of lacking ambition and failing to bolster the squad in the summer.

Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, wrote on X: “Lisandro Martínez, not the only player at Manchester United with that view of the situation at club level.

“Man United assessing possible sanction/fine for Licha, as @lauriewhitwell reports.

“Out of contract in June 2027 but club option until 2028.”

United have failed to win their last five fixtures under Michael Carrick.

This run of results has piled pressure on Carrick, who only took on the role on a permanent basis this summer.
