Rio won't tolerate his comments: United legend responds to Lisandro's open rebellion

Rio Ferdinand has responded to Lisandro Martínez's harsh comments after Manchester United's loss to Atlético Madrid.

According to Sports Three, Lissandro Martinez's harsh words against Manchester United's managers after the loss against Atletico Madrid caused the legends of the Red Devils to strongly react to him. Rio Ferdinand was among those who reacted. The veteran defender of the Red Devils expressed concern about the behind the scenes and the consequences of this public rebellion.

The crisis in the Manchester United camp has entered new dimensions after losing 2-0 against Atletico Madrid in the European Champions League and going through the fifth consecutive match without a win. In a situation where the Michael Carrick team is going through bitter days, Lisandro Martinez's sharp interview and his direct attack on the club's transfer policies and Jason Wilcox, the team's technical director, have caused a lot of noise in the English media.

The Argentinian defender had announced that he expected much more investment in the summer and should not always blame the technical staff and players for failures.

These sharp words of Lissandro became reactive and Rio Ferdinand reacted sharply to it. On his personal page on the X social network, the former United star raised important questions about the motivation and origin of this behavior, without directly bashing Martinez, writing: "What do I think about Lisandro Martinez? Did he discuss these issues with the club managers before this riot? Were the players talking about it in the locker room and he said to himself, never mind, I'm going to say everything publicly? What is going to happen now? More than anything, Ferdinand is worried about damaging the team's unity and the negative consequences of such statements on the club's management process.

The interesting point here is that the Argentinian defender's claim about the lack of investment is raised in a situation where Manchester United spent nearly 173 million euros in the summer market to attract players such as Carlos Balba, Andre Santos and Yuri Tillmans. The Red Devils are currently ranked 13th in the English Premier League and are in a worrying situation in Europe.
