Following the loss to Atletico, Martinez said he expected more investment in the Manchester United<\/a> squad and “more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox]”.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old later said he “spoke out of anger and frustration” in making those comments and that he had “belief in my team-mates, our manager and everyone working to help this club move forward”.<\/p>\n

Former Manchester United<\/a> captain Roy Keane, speaking on The Overlap podcast,, external<\/a> described the situation at his former club as “a bit of a circus”.<\/p>\n

Martinez’s statement on Thursday added: “Our club is at its best when we are all united, and I recognise that my words in that moment did not help with that.<\/p>\n

“I know that every single person at Manchester United<\/a> is doing everything possible to achieve our shared ambition: bringing the success that this club and its supporters deserve.<\/p>\n

“With this situation now behind us, we are fully focused on winning together.”<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether Carrick selects Martinez for the trip to Leeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n
