Lisandro Martínez has been highly critical of both Zirkzee and Hojlund

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez has publicly criticized the club's strikers, Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee, urging them to improve their performances. In a post-match interview, Martínez expressed his frustration with the team's attacking play, suggesting that the strikers needed to do more to support the team.

"We play a lot of long balls and it's difficult for them," Martínez said. "The center-backs in the Premier League are tough to face, but they also have to do better. They are very good players, but we have to find them in better positions so they can score."

Martínez's comments come after a series of disappointing performances from both Højlund and Zirkzee. The duo have struggled to find the net consistently, and their lack of goalscoring form has put a strain on the team.

The Pressure is On

The Argentine defender's comments have put the spotlight firmly on Højlund and Zirkzee. Both players are now under immense pressure to perform and justify their places in the starting lineup.

A Need for Improvement

Martínez's criticism is a clear indication that the Manchester United coaching staff are not happy with the team's attacking play. The club has invested heavily in their forward line in recent years, but the results have not been as expected.

What Next for United?

With the transfer window now closed, Manchester United will have to find a way to improve their attacking play with the players currently at the club. This could involve changes to the team's tactics or a shift in personnel.
