Carragher brands Martinez's ‘fantastic season’ claim a myth
Carragher challenges Martinez's praise of United's 2025‑26 campaign, citing poor results and a low league position.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Jamie Carragher has publicly disputed Lisandro Martinez's description of Manchester United's 2025‑26 campaign as "fantastic," calling the claim a myth. Martinez made the comment after United's 2‑0 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, later apologising for the outburst. Carragher wrote in his Telegraph column that United's recent record – sacking a manager, a Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby, and an early FA Cup exit – does not support a "fantastic" label. He added that United are currently 13th in the Premier League, having won only one of their first six league games. Carragher argued that the team's poor performance, rather than any success, is harming United's reputation.
