Manchester United have picked an awkward moment to get the All Or Nothing treatment on Amazon Prime, with Lisandro Martinez's outburst but the latest highlight sure to become a key plot point

Amazon Prime's upcoming All Or Nothing docuseries covering Manchester United's 2026/27 season already looks set to become a classic. But not for the reasons Michael Carrick will have wanted as he endures a nightmarish campaign thus far.

Lisandro Martinez shone a spotlight on the club's hierarchy when complaining about a lack of proper investment in the squad. The Argentinian made his explosive comments after Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League loss at Atletico Madrid and has since been punished for the outburst.

It's but the latest in a steady sequence of disappointing moments at Old Trafford already this season. And the Amazon film crew may end up having its hands full attempting to fit in every pitfall unless United's campaign begins to turn around.

Martinez's rant after Atleti loss

Following United's worst start to a Premier League season in 40 years and losing to Atletico, enough was enough for Martinez. And he just so happened to be speaking to Amazon at the time when he unleashed on his own club.

"Really poor. I have to control myself a lot but sometimes is a reflection of the mirror of how is our club at the moment," he said in response to the result. "We did a fantastic season last season and now we expect more from the top, more players to compete because many teams bring many players as well.

"Today, Atletico have an amazing team and they deserve to win today. I expect more [investment]. 100 per cent. I expect more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox]. I have to be honest, as players we have to do more but it is also important when you make a strong squad to be ready for this kind of night."

The comments caused a cacophony of criticism online, with the likes of Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher calling out the World Cup winner. Martinez has since conceded he spoke out of frustration and was reportedly fined for his remarks.

It's the exact brand of in-fighting that tends to sell so well with viewers when it comes to a series like All Or Nothing. And Amazon had pride of place to catch the meltdown, which summarises this chaotic first portion of the campaign nicely.

Opening-day loss to Hull

In terms of worst-possible starts to a Premier League season, losing your first match to promoted opposition is up there with as bad as it gets. Even after learning Championship play-off winners Hull City have a bit more about them than was perhaps anticipated.

A 2-0 defeat to the Tigers sent alarm bells ringing straight away that Carrick may not be all he was cracked up to be. The club legend earned the permanent head coach job after a hugely positive spell as interim boss, but this was the first sign of chinks in United's armour.

After so much summer build-up about this being a new United, the season started with simply more of the same. Carrick's United responded the following week with a 5-2 thumping of Ipswich, but that opening weekend disappointment is sure to feature prominently.

Transfer window struggles

Coming into the transfer window, there was a sentiment United had numerous flaws in need of addressing despite last term's strong finish. And yet the only notable signings ended up being exclusively in midfield.

That's not to suggest the club's engine room didn't need a little refurbishment itself. Just perhaps not at the expense of literally ever other position in the starting squad.

United's midfield now stands stacked after around £160million was shelled out to sign Carlos Baleba, Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. However, the failure to sign a new left-back as competition for the ageing Luke Shaw may end up looking like a criminal oversight, while Benjamin Sesko's ongoing injury has again left them light up top.

Derby defeat

Fast-forward to mid-September when United took on nemeses Manchester City for their first derby of the season. This was before City were found guilty of 114 charges of Premier League financial breaches.

It was Enzo Maresca's men who got the better of Carrick & Co at Old Trafford. That's despite the fact they played three quarters of the game with only 10 men after Phil Foden's red card.

Erling Haaland's decider, which was surrounded by a significant VAR debate, will undoubtedly form a pivotal moment illustrating how United's morale was set back yet again this season. The result of any Manchester derby is a crucial juncture in any campaign, but this felt more meaningful than most.

JJ Gabriel sideshow

A constant thorn in United's side as they've attempted to sow something resembling success is the spectre of JJ Gabriel's future. Once the darling of United's academy and tipped as 'the next big thing' to emerge from the club, he's doing all he can to get clear.

It's unknown what kind of footage Amazon will have to provide insight on this particular matter. Gabriel and his team have operated largely in the shadows as he's sought to make a first-team breakthrough, making demands amid his threats to leave.

The storyline of a promising United youth effectively holding the club to ransom couldn't contrast any more with the days when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge. Expect to see the plot covered in more detail, hopefully with some unseen info from inside both camps.

Tanking vs Tottenham

The latest major disappointment in United's season and the result that cemented the club's worst league start in 40 years. The Red Devils were on the verge of beating 10-man Spurs before Dominic Solanke rose in the dying minutes to draw 1-1 at Old Trafford.

Tottenham were among the clubs bringing up the rear in the Premier League at the time and looked like easy pickings. Not for a United side struggling massively to string Premier League wins together at present.
