Lisandro Martinez finally reveals what Ruben Amorim did tonight after the full-time while that really got Him upset
Lisandro Martínez has finally spoken out — and his words have sent a jolt of uncertainty racing through Manchester United.
“After what happened tonight, it’s clear to me that Ruben Amorim doesn’t want me anymore. It’s humiliating to watch him pick him ahead of me after everything I’ve sacrificed for this club.”
With that emotional admission, Martínez opened the door to what really happened behind the scenes after the 1-1 draw with West Ham — a night that left him angry, wounded, and unsure of his place under Amorim’s leadership.
Those inside Old Trafford describe a dressing room thick with tension, but no one imagined the confrontation that followed. Martínez was already upset as the players walked off the pitch, yet what came next completely crushed whatever trust remained between him and his manager.
According to reports, Amorim gathered the squad and immediately began praising one player — the same defender who took Martínez’s spot in the lineup. The manager allegedly told the group that this player “showed greater composure, discipline, and intelligence” than anyone else in defence, adding that this is what a Manchester United centre-back should look like.
Martínez didn’t move.
After pushing through injuries, playing hurt, and keeping himself available even when the team was desperate for defenders, hearing Amorim elevate someone else while overlooking his effort hit him hard. One teammate claimed Martínez approached the coach afterward and quietly asked, “Boss, what did I do wrong?”
But instead of reassurance, Amorim reportedly gave a blunt reply:
“At the moment, I trust him more than I trust you. He gives me what I need.”
That line shattered Martínez.
He walked out of the dressing room shortly after, refusing to engage with anyone. Later, away from the chaos, he finally vented his frustration, admitting he has “never felt this undervalued” since joining the club. The Argentine believes his commitment and toughness have been dismissed like they meant nothing.
“He picked him ahead of me after everything I’ve pushed through,” Martínez is said to have told those close to him. “I risked myself when I wasn’t even fully fit. I’ve always given everything. And this is the thanks I get.”
Inside the squad, murmurs have already begun. Some think this rift could escalate quickly, possibly pushing Martínez toward the exit if nothing changes. Others believe Amorim is simply being brutally honest in an attempt to fix a fragile backline.
But one thing is certain: something has broken.
The relationship between Lisandro Martínez and Ruben Amorim — once stable and rooted in trust — now feels strained, maybe beyond repair. Tonight didn’t just end in a disappointing draw. It ended with a defender feeling betrayed, a manager accused of showing favouritism, and a situation that could erupt even further in the coming days.
If this tension keeps growing, the next story might be even more explosive:
Lisandro Martínez — seriously reconsidering his future at Manchester United.
