"I'd be curled up in a ball": Gary Neville tears into Man United star after Chelsea debacle
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readGary Neville criticises Lisandro Martinez after Manchester United's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, highlighting defensive errors and team struggles.
From the source
Manchester United suffered another devastating loss at the weekend. They went down 2-0 away to Chelsea in spite of playing quite well in the first half.
The Red Devils fell to pieces in the second half, and this collapse was personified best by defender Lisandro Martinez. He was all at sea for Morgan Rogers’ opener, was beaten again by Rogers and cautioned as he pulled him down in a dangerous area.
Moments later, he gave away a penalty after a VAR intervention and was shown a second yellow card in a horrendous 15-minute spell. Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville fumed at the role of Martinez in the game.
