Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez clarified that his scathing remarks criticizing the club's technical director stemmed from post-match anger and frustration.
The Argentina international had previously expressed dismay over a lack of squad investment following United's 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Writing on Instagram, Martinez acknowledged that the players bear primary responsibility for the team's ordinary start, which has left them 13th in the Premier League table.
