“Was Going for a Kill There” – Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez Slide Tackling His Own Teammate With Cleats up Leaves Fans in Stitches

Lisandro Martinez is arguably one of the most aggressive players not only in Manchester United but the whole league. The guy has YouTube compilations of his super-aggressive tackles. His gameplay has rendered him the nickname ‘The Butcher’. His aggressive style looks like he arrived in soccer a couple of decades late. While the opponents fears his wrath sometime in the heat of the moment, the Butcher sometimes forgets that friendly fire is on in real life.

Yesterday Manchester United faced West Ham United in the fifth round of the never-ending FA Cup. The match was a foregone conclusion. However, at one moment, WHU leads the game with one goal. Towards the end, Manchester United realized they are the devils and by the time the final whistle came off the score was 3-1.

Manchester United fans saw an unhinged Butcher

The match between Manchester United and West Ham United gave fans some moments to cheer. The Old Trafford giants scored 2 goals in the last 7 minutes of the game. Fans cheered as players jumped and celebrated particularly the last goal by Fred. Unbeknownst to them, Lisandro ‘the Butcher’ Martinez has taken off for a sprint and slid directly towards them. Here is how fans reacted to the incident.

While the player celebrated, Lisandro Martinez crashed into them while trying to join the players. This has really put a very ironic touch on his nickname. The Argentinian starlet has turned out to be a valuable asset to a defensive side that has Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire.

While talking about his nickname with the Daily Mirror, he said, “Yes, I am called the Carnicero – The Butcher of ­Amsterdam. We Argentines do ­everything with passion and when I go out on the pitch, I fight for every ball. If I have to step over dead bodies, I do it.” This aggressive mindset has taken his role from a young starlet to a seasoned assassin for the red devils.

Lisandro Martinez wants to kill opponents!

In a recent interview when they asked him about his play style. Lisandro Martinez turned his inner butcher on and said that because he is so passionate about the game. He brings full enthusiasm while playing. It is that factor that, according to him, wants to ‘Kill’ when he is playing on the field.

Fans who aren’t well-versed with Lisandro Martinez and his antics would think of this statement as a metaphor. While that is true, they could never guess how close he can come to turning that metaphor into a reality. Sometimes not his own teammates are safe from his wrath.
