Peter Schmeichel fires accusation against "absolute disgrace" Lisandro Martinez after Chelsea nightmare
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readMan United legend Peter Schmeichel held nothing back as he made a damning Lisandro Martinez accusation after his horror show vs. Chelsea.
From the source
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel ripped Lisandro Martinez apart following his horror show in the 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Two weeks after he controversially called out the United hierarchy for lacking ambition and failing during the summer window, Martinez endured another tough game as United were beaten by Chelsea.
The Argentina international gave away a reckless penalty and was consequently sent off after picking up two yellow cards in quick succession. His performance was already of a poor standard when he received a booking in the 60th minute for pulling back Morgan Rogers.
Shortly afterwards, he elbowed Wesley Fofana in the face while United were defending a corner. Replays revealed he never looked at the ball, his focus entirely on Fofana, while Michael Carrick completely ignored Martinez as he headed down the tunnel.
