Manchester United fans have voiced their displeasure with defender Lisandro Martinez following his recent social media post.

The backlash came after United's disappointing performance against Liverpool on Sunday, where they suffered their second consecutive defeat.

Martinez played the full 90 minutes but struggled as the Merseyside club dominated the weekend top-liner at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were undone by two goals from Luis Diaz, who capitalised on rare mistakes from Casemiro and a precise finish from Mohamed Salah.

Lisandro Martinez's social media post angers fans

What irked fans even more was Martinez's post-game interaction with Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister.

The two, who share a bond as teammates on Argentina’s national team, exchanged a warm moment after the match, which Lisandro later shared on his social media.

According to MEN, this post did not sit well with many Man United supporters, who were already frustrated by the team's lacklustre display.

They felt that the timing and content of the post were inappropriate, given the humiliating nature of the defeat.
