Four ex-Man Utd players who publicly called out owners before Lisandro Martinez
Story updated
The story in brief
37-second readTwo days after Lisandro Martinez rants at Manchester United’s hierarchy, it’s time to look at other examples of players who had worn the shirt before publicly criticising the Glazer family, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and other figures involved in running the club.
Lisandro Martinez didn’t mince any words in his post-match interview after Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Unhappy with the result and performance, the World Cup winner aimed at the club’s hierarchy, including football director Jason Wilcox.
Doubling down on his jaw-dropping interview, Martinez released a statement on Wednesday night. It didn’t include an apology as he stated, “My words reflect how I feel.” Although Wayne Rooney expressed disappointment with Martinez’s comments, he’s one of four former United players on this list to speak out against the ownership while under contract.
