GOAL reported that Gary Neville said a heated discussion took place in the Manchester United dressing room after Manchester United's Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid, and that the players also held a meeting. GOAL also reported that Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo both reacted publicly after that loss.

Neville's comments on the dressing room

Neville told Sky Sports: "Today is just a first step, but we can't get carried away with optimism."

He continued: "I think there was a heated discussion in the dressing room, and they even held a meeting, that's 100% certain. It's impossible that they didn't address the Martinez issue."

Martinez and Amad reacted publicly

GOAL reported that Martinez and Amad both reacted publicly after the defeat to Atletico Madrid.

GOAL reported that Martinez criticised the United management on camera over the lack of investment during the summer transfer window. The club later fined Martinez for it.

GOAL reported that within minutes of Martinez's comments, Amad posted on his verified Snapchat account: "A bloody disgrace, I can't find the words."

Neville's view of Amad's post

GOAL reported that United boss Michael Carrick appeared to suggest Amad's reaction was a show of solidarity with Martinez.

GOAL reported that, according to England's "The Sun", Gary Neville believes Amad's post was aimed at Martinez.

He added: "If you think about Amad Diallo's Snapchat post: 'You are a disgrace in every sense of the word!', you'll find he's directing his words at his team-mate, so clearly the two are trading insults. Martinez stepped out of line, and so did Amad."

Leeds draw
