Martinez Provokes Manchester United Fan After Liverpool Humiliation

Manchester United fans have vented their fury at Lisandro Martinez after coming across the defender’s latest Instagram post.

The Argentine was part of the United team who were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Liverpool on Sunday.

Martinez was in the thick of the action and was booked for a challenge on Dominik Szoboszlai, which sparked a verbal confrontation with Reds skipper Virgil van Dijk.

Two goals from Luis Diaz and another from Mo Salah, comfortably laid United to rest, leaving Erik ten Hag’s side with just three points from their opening three league games and slumped in 14th place.

Martinez has become a fan favourite during his time at Old Trafford but that could all be set to change after angering supporters in the aftermath of Sunday’s defeat.

One day after losing to their most bitter rivals, the World Cup winner took to Instagram to share an image of him joining up with the Argentina team ahead of their World Cup qualifying double header against Chile and Colombia.

He posted two photos, one of which was a snap of him alongside Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister.

His choice of photo infuriated scores of United fans who felt the picture was inappropriate, with Sunday’s calamity still so raw.

One fan wrote: “The guy just beat us 3-0 bro don’t be uploading a pic with him the very next day.”

Another added: “What’s this guy doing? The whole Manchester United fans and owners are fuming and you have the audacity to do this?”

A third fan responded: “Licha I love you to bits, but this is not it man!”

Another wrote: “Oh dear…no care at all!!”

A final user wrote: “Too soon bro.”

With two weeks to let things simmer, Martinez will hope the wrath of United fans will have calmed down before Ten Hag’s side head to Southampton on September 14.

The fixtures come thick and fast for United and for Ten Hag who is airway feeling the heat after an underwhelming start to the season.

Man United fans’ silent protest spoke volumes to players’ unforgivable surrender

Defeats at Brighton and at home to Liverpool followed an opening-day win over Fulham.

Tricky trips to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa await, with a home game against Tottenham sandwiched in between.
