Martinez demands greater investment after Man Utd's Champions League loss

The Argentine defender expressed frustration with the club's hierarchy in the aftermath of Tuesday's European setback, suggesting that increased financial backing would be necessary for United to perform consistently at the elite level of continental football.

Martinez's comments came as Manchester United suffered a significant blow in their Champions League campaign, falling to the Spanish side in a match that raised questions about the squad's ability to compete against top-tier European opponents.

The 25-year-old's public statement reflects broader concerns within the squad regarding the club's transfer strategy and resource allocation. His remarks suggest that current playing resources may be insufficient for challenging the continent's leading teams on a regular basis.

United will seek to bounce back from the setback as they navigate the remainder of their Champions League group stage commitments, while the club's leadership faces mounting pressure to address the team's competitive gaps.
