Manchester United supporters quickly learned why Lisandro Martinez had earned the moniker “The Butcher” during his time with Ajax, but Bruno Fernandes‘ version of the moniker, “My Butcher,” demonstrates just how much the Reds value him.
Martinez was given the moniker due to his great defensive skills, and United supporters have since accepted it. Yet the Argentina star recently acknowledged he couldn’t recall who came up with the term.
“I don’t know why at Ajax they called me The Butcher,” Martinez remarked. Even the person who gave me my moniker I can’t recall.
“It must be because I play my game so aggressively. In a way, the term fits me because I have made vacuums (a type of Argentinian beef) in my home.
Yet the reality is that I approach every challenge as if it were my last. Having said that, my ability to read a game and make decisions has significantly improved.
After a victory over Barcelona on Thursday, United advanced to the next round of the Europa League thanks in large part to the 25-year-old. Martinez, who was obviously thrilled with the outcome, posted his joy on Instagram. Such a night. In response, Fernandes wrote “My Butcher” to his post.
“Manchester United,” with “teamwork, character, rocking stands.” By no means, either in the past or the present, was Fernandes the only player to respond to the defender’s Instagram post.
In response, Marcus Rashford used the red heart emoji, and Patrice Evra described the World Cup winner as “amazing.” The Argentine international received praise from Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as well.
