🚨Ruud van Nistelrooy on Lisandro Martínez speaking out against Manchester United’s hierarchy: 🗣️ Ruud van Nistelrooy: “I was tuned in after the match to see if anyone would come out for an interview and speak about what was happening at Manchester United. Then Martínez came out. The moment I saw his face, I thought, ‘This lad has something to say.’ And when he started speaking, I understood why. Peter asked him: ‘Lisandro, do you believe the people running Manchester United need to take more responsibility for the situation the club is in?’ Martinez reply was straight to the point ‘We have responsibility as players, of course. But you cannot keep changing managers and bringing in new players while the same problems continue. At some point, you have to look at the people making the decisions.’ And I thought, he has a point. I spent five years at Manchester United. I scored goals, won trophies and experienced what it meant to play under Sir Alex Ferguson. But I also experienced the other side of that club. In my final months, things broke down between me and the manager. I was left out of the League Cup final, tensions grew, and eventually I left for Real Madrid. I had scored 150 goals for United, but that didn’t mean I was bigger than the club or that I could behave however I wanted. I later admitted I had made mistakes, and Ferguson and I eventually made peace. But that experience taught me something: when things go wrong at a big club, the way problems are handled matters just as much as the problems themselves. You need strong leadership, honest conversations and people willing to take responsibility. You cannot allow issues to build up until the only way they come out is through frustration, arguments or the media. And that is why I want to hear from Bruno Fernandes. He is the captain. He sees what happens in that dressing room every day. He knows the frustration of losing games and watching the same mistakes happen again. So why is Martínez the one coming out to say these things? Bruno doesn’t have to agree with every word Martínez says, but I expect him to speak honestly about the direction of the club. Being captain is not just about demanding more from your teammates when they make mistakes. It also means having the courage to address the bigger issues. And Michael Carrick needs to be honest, too. I respect Michael, but if he believes something is wrong, he should say it. You cannot keep giving safe answers while the supporters are asking serious questions. Look at my own experience. I had to accept my part in what happened, and Ferguson had his own decisions to make. That is football. Nobody should be above criticism, whether you’re a player, a manager or a director. I’m not saying Martínez is right about everything. He still has to perform on the pitch. But instead of attacking him for speaking, perhaps United should listen to what he’s actually saying. Because how many times can this club change managers, spend millions on new players and promise a fresh start before somebody finally asks whether the people making the decisions are getting it right? I left Manchester United with lessons I will never forget. One of them is this: you can have all the talent in the world, but if the people running a football club cannot be honest with each other, sooner or later, everything starts to fall apart.”
