Manchester United are facing fresh dressing-room concerns after reports revealed a confrontation between Lisandro Martinez and Youri Tielemans on the flight home from Madrid following a Champions League defeat.

Man Utd Dressing Room in Chaos as Martinez and Tielemans Reportedly Clash

Manchester United have been hit by fresh reports of dressing-room tension after Lisandro Martinez and Youri Tielemans reportedly clashed following the club’s Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

According to the Daily Mail, the two players were involved in a confrontation during the team’s flight back to Manchester on October 13.

The incident reportedly followed Martinez’s public criticism of United’s leadership and transfer decisions.

The details have now emerged as Manchester United continue to struggle under Michael Carrick, raising new concerns about unity inside the squad.

Martinez and Tielemans clash on team flight

Manchester United suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on October 13.

After the match, Martinez openly questioned the club’s summer recruitment and criticised director of football Jason Wilcox.

The Argentine defender suggested United needed more quality to compete with Europe’s strongest teams.

However, his comments reportedly angered Youri Tielemans, who had joined United from Aston Villa during the summer.

According to journalists Chris Wheeler and Nathan Salt, the two players confronted each other during the flight back to England.

The exact details of the disagreement remain unclear, and there is no confirmation of a physical fight.

Tielemans unhappy with Martinez’s comments

Before the reported confrontation, Tielemans was asked by reporters about Martinez’s criticism of the club.

The Belgian midfielder gave a short response:

“I have no comment on that.”

However, reports suggest his frustration continued during the journey home.

The disagreement reportedly showed growing problems inside a Manchester United squad already struggling with poor results and low confidence.

Martinez apologises after controversial remarks

Following the controversy, Martinez held talks with Michael Carrick and senior United officials on October 15.

The Argentine later issued a public apology, admitting his frustration had caused him to speak at the wrong time.

He also stressed the importance of unity and working together to improve the team’s performances.

Manchester United considered the issue involving Martinez’s public criticism resolved after those discussions.

However, it remains unclear whether Martinez and Tielemans have personally settled their reported disagreement.

Man Utd crisis creates more pressure on Carrick

The latest revelations come during a difficult period for Manchester United.

The Red Devils sit 18th in the Premier League after collecting just eight points from their opening ten matches.

Their recent 4-4 draw against Aston Villa has done little to reduce pressure on Carrick.

Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino has been strongly linked with replacing the former United midfielder as manager.

Reports of disagreements between players have now added another concern as the club attempts to recover from its poor start.

Although the reported confrontation happened last month, its emergence highlights the challenges facing Manchester United both on and off the pitch.

With Carrick’s future uncertain, restoring confidence and unity within the squad could be just as important as improving results.
