Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes the club are "like a circus" following Lisandro Martinez's criticism of the club's hierarchy.
Martinez's comments came after Manchester United's 2-0 defeat by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, stretching their winless streak to five games.
The Argentina international criticised United for failing to strengthen the squad in the summer and called for more investment in the team and "more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox]".
Speaking on The Overlap podcast, Keane said:
"There will be some fans saying it's great and some saying you're letting the team down, especially from a player who hasn't been at his best, when the team is struggling. I think as a reflection of the club, it's obviously chaos there, like a bit of a circus."
Keane also questioned the timing of Martinez's comments, stating:
"I don't think there's enough characters - enough men in there - but I don't see him as a senior player at Manchester United. I see him as a centre-half who's making lots of mistakes."
Martinez later clarified his remarks on social media, stating they were made out of "anger and frustration".
