Rio Ferdinand criticises Lisandro Martinez and calls for culture shift in Manchester United’s defending

Manchester United blew a 1-0 lead against Tottenham when Dominic Solanke scored a stoppage time equaliser. After riding their luck against Tottenham for 90 minutes, Manchester United came undone in injury time when Dominic Solanke diverted in a late cross.

Lisandro Martinez was marking Solanke, but he was more invested in trying to block him than attacking the ball. He failed to do either.

Speaking via YouTube , Rio Ferdinand criticised Martinez’s priorities: “He’s fighting the man rather than going for the ball, when he’s at a disadvantage already height-wise.” United had to settle for a 1-1 draw , a fourth consecutive Premier League game without a victory.
