Rooney Slams Martínez Over Public Criticism of Manchester United Transfer Plans

Wayne Rooney has criticised Lisandro Martínez for publicly blaming Manchester United’s hierarchy for failing to strengthen the squad during the transfer window. Martínez spoke after United’s 2-0 Champions League defeat to Atlético Madrid, saying he expected more investment from the club’s technical leadership. He added that frequent managerial changes would not solve the team’s problems. Rooney said the defender’s comments were disrespectful to his teammates, particularly younger players in the squad. He recalled making a similar complaint to Sir Alex Ferguson during his playing days and apologising soon afterwards. United have won only one of their first seven matches this season, while manager Michael Carrick has declined to comment on Martínez’s remarks.
