Lisandro Martinez admits he doesn’t know who first branded him as ‘The Butcher’ but has suggested two reasons why he may have been given the title.
The defender has been a colossus at the back for Manchester United this season and has taken to the hearts of Reds fans. Chants of ‘Argentina’ are commonly heard from the terraces with accompanying flags.
Upon his return to Old Trafford after his World Cup success, United fans unveiled a giant Argentina flag with a butcher’s knife in the middle in reference to his nickname. “I don’t know why at Ajax they called me 'The Butcher',” Martinez said, as per the Mirror.
