Story updated

The story in brief

32-second read

Director of football is tarnished by recruitment record and Amorim stint but has received glowing review from above Lisandro Martínez is not naive. At 28, he has experienced plenty in football and knows the causes of success and failure.

He has a World Cup winner’s medal , whereas Jason Wilcox has overseen the latest period of mediocrity at Manchester United, during which the focus has fallen more on the team’s performances than the wider reasons behind it.

Martínez was not solely speaking for himself when, after United’s defeat at Atlético Madrid, he strongly criticised Wilcox. His views are shared by others at United frustrated by the output from above and who “expect” more from a director of football.
