Jamie Carragher says Lisandro Martinez went too far with Manchester United criticism

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has condemned Lisandro Martinez for publicly criticising Manchester United’s leadership, describing the Argentina international’s comments as “awful”.

Martinez spoke out after Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat by Atletico in the Champions League, directing criticism at the club’s officials. Carragher believes the centre-back overstepped the mark by making those remarks.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday, when they travel to face Leeds.
