Manchester United have fined Lisandro Martínez after the defender criticised the club’s hierarchy, BBC Sport reports. Martínez has apologised following talks with the club.

After United’s Champions League defeat by Atlético Madrid on Tuesday, Martínez said the club had left head coach Michael Carrick with an under-equipped squad. On Thursday, the Argentina international said: “I want to apologise.” [1]

Carrick is due to speak to the media on Friday before United face Leeds United on Sunday. United have won two of their first nine games this season and are 13th in the Premier League with six points from six matches, according to BBC Sport. [1]

Martínez, 28, is out of contract at the end of the season, although United have the option to extend his deal by a year. [1]
