PETER SCHMEICHEL has slammed Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez for "trying to be a hero" during United's 3-1 loss to Brighton yesterday.<\/p>\n

The defeat at Old Trafford is United's second on the bounce and comes amid a mounting list of problems for manager Erik Ten Hag away from the field.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

United have slid to 13th in the Premier League standings after a start that has seen them lose three times in their opening five Premier League games.<\/p>\n

Former United striker Danny Welbeck put Brighton 1-0 up after 20 minutes before strikes from Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro had the Seagulls coasting at the Theatre of Dreams.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Hannibal Mejbri scored a consolation goal for the Red Devils but Ten Hag was far from pleased after the match as he slammed his team's "individuals that need to step up".<\/p>\n

Schmeichel, who won five Premier League titles and a Champions League at United, singled out centre-back Martinez for criticism after the game and said the Argentine should have done better on Brighton's second goal.<\/p>\n

The former goalkeeper told Premier League Productions: "It is kind of what happens at Manchester United at the minute, it is very individual.<\/p>\n

"Players, for instance, Martinez here, are trying to be a hero and get in and block.<\/p>\n

"People know this. If we look at him there, he puts himself in a position directly in line of the goalkeeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"He should be closing down rather then just stood up trying to block. If you want to block, don't turn your body, stand tall. Clearly things aren't right for Manchester United."<\/p>\n

With Gross receiving the ball on the edge of the United box, he was able to easily sell Martinez by dummying a shot and created the space to drive the ball home past Andre Onana.<\/p>\n

Martinez also came in for criticism for Brighton's first goal, when he failed to close down Brighton winger Simon Adingra before he crossed the ball for Welbeck to finish easily.<\/p>\n

After the game, Ten Hag insisted that the club were not in crisis despite their poor form and off field issues.<\/p>\n

The manager said: "We must stick together and stick to the plan and the rules and we will turn this around.<\/p>\n

"It bothers me [United's form], but I have to see the way we play.<\/p>\n

"It's about character, we have to see how strong we are and how the team sticks together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"Players standing up and showing character because in all the games, especially the game today [Saturday] and against Arsenal and Forest, we have seen we can play well and create chances.<\/p>\n
