Lisandro Martinez's Manchester United future is now in doubt following his outburst against the club's hierarchy. The defender's deal at Old Trafford has entered its final year, though the club holds an option to extend it by a further 12 months to June 2028.
Contract Stalemate and Preferred Destination
According to The Athletic, Martinez does not want to extend his time at United, and the club also have doubts about triggering the option. The report adds that if the Argentine departs, his preferred destination would be Spain.
It is also claimed in the report that Martinez has wanted a new contract on raised terms since winning the World Cup during his first season at the club, but talks have never properly progressed.
Post-Match Criticism
The 28-year-old accused United of lacking ambition and took aim at the club's director of football in two separate post-match interviews after Tuesday night's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid.
Martinez launched an astonishing attack on director of football Jason Wilcox and the Manchester United hierarchy following the defeat.
