According to a post by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X on Friday, October 16, 2026, Manchester United have fined Lisandro Martínez following his recent controversy, with the club now considering the matter closed.

The Argentine defender reportedly held discussions with manager Michael Carrick and Manchester United directors to explain the situation and apologise. The meeting gave Martínez an opportunity to clarify his position as the club addressed the incident internally.

Romano confirmed that United had decided to impose a financial penalty on the defender as punishment. However, following the discussions and apology, the club has determined that no further action is required in the case.

The decision brings the club’s disciplinary process to a close and indicates that United are ready to move forward from the controversy.

Martínez’s meeting with Carrick and the directors was an important part of resolving the matter. According to Romano, the defender addressed the situation directly, clarified what had happened and apologised before the club reached its decision.

The financial penalty serves as the punishment imposed by United, while the club’s decision to close the case means the incident is no longer being treated as an open disciplinary matter.

The update also follows earlier reports surrounding Martínez’s discussions with the United manager. The latest information from Romano confirms that the club has settled on its response after hearing from the player.

With the case now considered closed, attention can return to Martínez’s role at Manchester United and the team’s ongoing campaign. Romano shared further details in a video linked to his post.
