Lisandro Martinez calls out Jason Wilcox and wants Man Utd chief sacked
Lisandro Martinez called for changes in the boardroom after Manchester United recorded their fifth consecutive winless match across all competitions away to Atletico Madrid. Things got off to a terrible start when the hosts took the lead after less than a minute, with United's defence all over the place early doors. It looked as if it would be a trying evening in the Spanish capital thereafter, but United were the team who reacted stronger, with Bryan Mbeumo, Marcus Rashford and Carlos Baleba all spurning golden opportunities to equalise. However, a controversial red card for Leny Yoro midway through the second half killed United's hopes of a comeback, with Atletico adding a second through former Everton man Ademola Lookman shortly after.
