Lisandro Martínez has expressed his frustration over a controversial decision that he believes played a major role in Manchester United’s defeat. The Argentine defender questioned the offside decision and admitted that he struggled to understand how the situation was interpreted by the officials.
Martínez explained that he had moved towards Enzo Fernández because Fernández was positioned in front of him, which he believed allowed Erling Haaland to become free behind him. According to the United defender, the decision ultimately affected the outcome of the match and left his team feeling hard done by.
The Argentine was particularly critical of the officiating process in the Premier League, pointing out that clubs are regularly given detailed explanations of the rules before the season begins. He questioned how several officials could still make what he considered similar mistakes during matches.
“For me, it is unacceptable,” Martínez said, stressing that the Premier League is regarded as the best league in the world and should therefore have the highest standards of officiating. He believes Manchester United were forced to leave the pitch feeling that an injustice had been done to them.
The incident has sparked debate among football fans, with supporters divided over whether the officials made the correct decision. Martínez’s comments have added further fuel to the discussion, as the United defender made it clear that he feels the controversial call directly contributed to his side’s defeat.
