Lisandro Martinez allegedly squared up to Ajax technical director Gerry Hamstra and labelled him a "f***ing nobody" in order to push through his move to Manchester United.
The 24-year-old Argentine sealed a £55million transfer to Old Trafford in July but the deal only came to fruition after drawn-out negotiations between the two clubs, as Ajax were desperate to keep their star defender. Martinez was left infuriated by just how persistent the Dutch giants were to keep him and Hamstra felt his wrath during a heated exchange at the club's stadium.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claim that the Argentina international went nose-to-nose with the Ajax chief at their Johan Cruyff ArenA and demanded they let him reunite with newly-appointed United manager Erik ten Hag. Martinez then used the expletive, directed at Hamstra, adding that he's "alone" since former technical director Marc Overmars left Ajax in controversial circumstances.
