<\/div>\n\u201cHis performances haven\u2019t been good enough. In some ways he is right in that the club do need to invest more in the top end of the pitch and in defence as well but it looks like that was a bit of an agenda that he wanted to say that because the performance was better.\u201d<\/p>\n
TalkSport\u2019s Henry Winter echoed Rooney\u2019s opinion, calling for \u201cindividual accountability\u201d from a player who has now created a further headache for his under-siege coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cLisandro Martinez makes some good points. Manchester United\u2019s board deserves to be called out for a bizarre transfer strategy,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuying two midfielders they didn\u2019t need and leaving the defence until next summer when it\u2019s crying out for more pace and strengthening now. Martinez also needs to look at himself. He got beaten by Dominic Solanke for Spurs\u2019 goal at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere has to be individual accountability. Players owe it to the fans. Martinez\u2019s outburst also another headache for Michael Carrick to deal with. <\/p>\n
\u201cSenior player at odds with club board never a helpful dynamic for a head coach. Especially with Carrick himself under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher delivered a damning assessment of United\u2019s current position \u2014 and explained why they have been unable to spark a squad overhaul.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t do anybody any good at all… every set of supporters don\u2019t like the suits or the guys upstairs, United fans will lap this up and think this is great,\u201d Carragher said on CBS.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think this is awful that he\u2019s come out and said that, I do. When he is saying we had a fantastic season last season, they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cA manager got sacked last season, they finished third because they had no Cup games, they had no Europe… they only finished third because Liverpool and Chelsea were that bad.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we are seeing the real Manchester United this season. The reason why they didn\u2019t buy players in the summer is because the last four or five years since Martinez has been there, I think they\u2019ve been in the Champions League once.<\/p>\n<\/amp-img>Michael Carrick, Manager of Manchester United.<\/span>Source: Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cFor every season you don\u2019t get Champions League money, and every season you spend $200 million in the transfer market, sooner or later is has to stop because the money isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t just keep going with it… they have been awful, they were awful again tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also took aim at Martinez for rocking the boat, suggesting his comments are set to spark internal conflicts within the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s funny when players say (these things), they never talk about their own positions… he never means centre back,\u201d Carragher explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019d mean other areas, so the players who came in in the summer, how do you think they feel? This is not me just having a go at a United player.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, Ruben Amorim went for the people above him last season, and I said he\u2019d be sacked… I think your football club is a family and there\u2019s a lot of stuff going on inside it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a football club and a family… there\u2019d be problems and someone doesn\u2019t like someone, but when you go inside the front door you put a united front on. You do, you protect each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think your football club is like that… we\u2019re supposed to be as one, it might be a bit of an act… but this will be the talk of the town now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
