Lisandro Martinez has faced criticism from Manchester United fans after sharing a photo with Alexis Mac Allister shortly after the 3-0 loss to Liverpool.
Liverpool secured their win at Old Trafford on Sunday with two goals from Luis Diaz and a second-half goal from Mohamed Salah.
This defeat has left United with only three points from their first three Premier League matches, putting Erik ten Hag under scrutiny due to his team’s shaky defensive performance against Arne Slot’s side.
Martinez, who started the match alongside new signing Matthijs de Ligt, has upset United fans by appearing in a photo with Liverpool midfielder Mac Allister and smiling just a day after the defeat.
When Martinez posted the picture on his social media accounts, United fans expressed their displeasure in the comments directed at the Argentine defender.
One United fan wrote: ‘He talks so much about passion and the shirt to not understand the basics. This pic is just so wrong right now.’
Another United supporter added: ‘So passionate and all that playing for the badge nonsense, at least take the pic with some other player.’
A third United fan wrote: ‘Mate, we just got battered by Liverpool on Sunday. Choose when to put out a pic of you and a Liverpool player wisely. This is not the time Licha.’
Another United supporter replied: ‘Meanwhile, It really hurts. You’ve hurt the fans twice in a few days. There are still Garnacho at the same club as you, why did it have to be Allister! Appreciate the fans who wholeheartedly support you & the club during this difficult time. No one can be trusted anymore. Disgusting!’
Martinez and Mac Allister have both been included in Argentina’s team for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia.
