yes i am. i’m not sorry
Hypothetically speaking: Someone offers you $1 million but the catch is, a stranger must die a very gruesome and painful death, no one will ever know that you’re the reason for it. But at some point in your life, you’re going to receive a video tape showing this person being murdered and you have to watch the entire video. You have 10 seconds to decide, are you taking the money or not?

🚨| THE LISANDRO MARTÍNEZ PROBLEM AT MANCHESTER UNITED… ✍️
When I said this ⤵️ earlier this season, you all thought I was capping…
Let’s put emotions aside and look at what Lisandro Martínez has cost Manchester United this season:
🔵Ipswich Town: An unforced defensive error gifted Ipswich their second goal despite United winning 5-2.
⚪️Everton: A defensive mistake contributed to Everton’s comeback in the 2-2 draw.
🟢Fulham: Scored an own goal that cost United two valuable points in a 1-1 draw.
⚪️Tottenham: His poor defensive positioning and failure to deal with Dominic Solanke allowed Spurs to equalise.
🟣Injury problems: His fitness issues have disrupted defensive continuity, including being forced off at half-time against Leeds with a thigh problem.
🟤Chelsea: Beaten by Morgan Rogers for the opening goal before committing a needless foul on Wesley Fofana, conceding a penalty and receiving a second yellow card.
⚫️Suspension: His dismissal against Chelsea means United will be without him for the Aston Villa game.
🔴Dressing-room distraction: His public criticism of the club’s recruitment and hierarchy following the Atletico Madrid defeat added another layer of controversy during an already difficult period.
At what point do we stop making excuses?
Yes, Martínez is an excellent defender on the ball, but football is not played with the ball alone.
A centre-back must defend, remain disciplined, stay available and give his team reliability.
United cannot continue paying the price for individual mistakes while pretending everything is fine.
How many more points must Manchester United lose before this becomes an undeniable problem?

I don’t think selling Martínez is going to solve the problem. It’s the same argument I’ve been making about Michael Carrick for a while now, the real issue is INEOS.
Will they back the next manager with quality players? Will they give him time? Will they sell Martínez and bring in someone of genuine quality to replace him? I honestly don’t think they will at Manchester United.

A good manager will turn Martinez into a good player or a good manager will get rid of him if he think he’s not good enough for his team.
