Manchester United teammates share MartĂnez's view that Wilcox is failing
The Guardian reports that Lisandro MartĂnez has shared critical views about Manchester United's director of football Jason Wilcox with teammates, and that this assessment is widely held across the squad. The criticism centers on Wilcox's sporting direction and recruitment strategy. The story highlights internal friction at Old Trafford between the playing staff and the club's football hierarchy, adding to a turbulent period for United's leadership structure. No official response from the club or Wilcox has been confirmed in the report.
Read the full story at theguardian.comReports of dressing-room unrest directed at a director of football are rare and carry real weight in modern football, where sporting directors shape recruitment, contracts, and squad identity. If a senior player like MartĂnez is openly questioning the football hierarchy and finding broad agreement among teammates, it signals a structural credibility problem that goes beyond a single transfer window. For United, this kind of internal fracture typically pressures the board to act — either by backing or replacing the figure under fire — and it almost certainly affects the atmosphere around training and selection in the short term.
