Lisandro Martínez could be on his way out of Manchester United.
The 28-year-old defender’s contract runs out in the summer, so he could leave on a free transfer.
His outburst after Tuesday’s defeat at Atlético Madrid appears to have left his future hanging by a thread. He has apologized to the club, but it’s being reported that he’ll look to end his time at Old Trafford anyway.
The Mirror says: “Lisandro Martinez is looking to leave Manchester United this summer when his contract expires despite apologizing for Tuesday night’s rant.
“The Argentine let rip in the aftermath of the loss to Atletico Madrid, which continued United’s poor form, and in particular took aim at club chief Jason Wilcox for failing to back the team in the transfer market.
“He’s since had meetings in Carrington to discuss his remarks and has put out a statement apologising, but with his deal up at the end of the season there remains the likelihood that he will leave Old Trafford. Martinez was linked with a move to Atletico in the summer.
“The 28-year-old’s frustration peaked this week when he saw Ayden Heaven named at left-back during the loss in the Spanish capital, despite the former Arsenal youngster naturally being a centre-half.”
Martinez saw that of further proof that the squad is not well equipped enough with a 20-year-old inexperienced defender, who is yet to play 30 games for United, being asked to fill in for a player in Luke Shaw who is known to be injury prone”
