From the source
Manchester United are preparing for direct talks with Lisandro Martínez’s representatives as uncertainty surrounding the defender’s future continues to grow following his disastrous red card against Chelsea.
The 28-year-old is entering the final months of his existing contract, although United possess an option to extend the agreement until 2028. With Martínez’s performances, recent criticism of the club’s hierarchy and disciplinary issues all under scrutiny, the next few weeks could determine whether his Old Trafford career continues.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano provided a detailed update on the Argentina international’s situation. Romano said: “I am receiving many questions regarding Licha’s future because Lisandro went very strongly against the Manchester United directors and the board after the Atletico Madrid game.
