The Argentine defender Lisandro Martínez received a standing ovation from all those present at the Old Trafford stadium in the preview of the match between Manchester United and Bournemouth, corresponding to date 19 of the Premier League.
Martínez, who returned to the English cast a few days ago after proclaiming himself champion of the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Argentine National Team, jumped onto the field of play in the prelude to the aforementioned match wearing the world champion medal and received applause from his teammates and the supporters of the “Red Devils”.
In turn, in the stands of the venue, it was possible to see an Argentine flag with a meat cleaver in the center of it. This object refers to the nickname that the team’s fans gave the central defender, “Butcher” (“The Butcher” in English).
Martínez, 24, played a few minutes in the aforementioned match, which ended 3-0 in favor of Manchester United. In this duel, the Spanish nationalized Argentine Alejandro Garnacho played the entire second half and assisted the Englishman Luke Shaw.
