Manchester United supporters have turned their frustration on Lisandro Martinez following the team’s shocking 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. The loss, United's sixth in the Premier League this season, has deepened their struggles under manager Rúben Amorim, leaving them 13th in the table.
**A Tough Day for Manchester United**
United endured a chaotic afternoon as Forest struck early through Nikola Milenkovic, who exploited poor defensive organization to head in from a corner. While Rasmus Højlund leveled the score, Forest regained the lead in the second half. Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood added to the visitors’ tally, with Wood’s goal stemming from a defensive misstep involving Martinez. Although Bruno Fernandes pulled one back, United couldn’t find a way to salvage the match.
**Fan Backlash Against Martinez**
Martinez has faced heavy criticism from fans, who have singled him out for his role in the defensive lapses. Many believe his performances under Amorim have been subpar, with some accusing him of being a liability to the team. “He’s the reason we lost,” one fan commented online. “If this continues, Amorim will lose his job because of players like him.”
**Pressure Mounts on Amorim and the Squad**
The loss has added to the growing pressure on Amorim, who has struggled to implement his strategies amidst inconsistent performances from key players. Fans have called for significant changes to the squad, urging the manager to offload underperforming players to prevent further damage to the season.
With United’s campaign hanging in the balance, the team faces an uphill battle to regain their form. Whether Martinez and others can turn things around remains to be seen, but patience among supporters is wearing thin.
