Man Utd legend icon slams Lisandro Martinez for ‘trying to be a hero’ when tricked by the Brighton player

Speaking on the Premier League Productions program, the Man United legend was not satisfied with the Argentine midfielder’s defensive style

Lisandro Martinez is one of the underperforming stars on Man United’s side. The Argentine midfielder easily let Pascal Gross fool him before firing a shot into Andre Onana’s net, increasing the score to 2-0 for Brighton.

Sharing with the Premier League Productions program, legend Peter Schmeichel analyzed: “That’s what’s happening with Man United at the moment. It’s very personal. Martinez tries to be a hero when he rushes in to block the ball.”

“He needed to use his body to shield in front of the goalkeeper. Martinez should have blocked and blocked the space instead of trying to rush into the ball. If you want to block the ball, stand up straight and don’t turn to the side  Everything is not okay with Man United.”

Schmeichel said United look like a bunch of individuals rather than a team

In the Premier League 2023/2024, Man United still bears bitter fruit. Erik ten Hag’s squad is anticipated to bounce back when they host Brighton at home following a 1-3 loss to Arsenal. The Red Devils, however, gave a lackluster performance.

At the conclusion of the full 90 minutes at Old Trafford Stadium, Man United lost to Brighton 1-3. A combined three goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross, and Joao Pedro gave The Seagulls three points. The only goal scored by Man United belongs to Hannibal Mejbri.
