The tender gesture of Lisandro Martínez that made two little Manchester United fans cry

In just five months, Lisandro Martínez revolutionized Manchester Utd. While the fans greeted Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle of the World Cup in Qatar, they celebrated the interventions of the Entre Ríos defender, who made his name with the Argentine national team. This Sunday, another example of that bond was exposed when he performed a tender gesture with two little fans who burst into tears upon meeting him.

The “Butcher”, as nicknamed by the fans of the “Diavoli Rossi” who also dedicated a flag to him with a knife and the colors of the albiceleste, stopped his vehicle when he saw that a girl and a boy were braving the rain and the cold Manchester to try and pick up a souvenir.

‘Licha’ Martínez rolled down his window, asked the girl for her shirt and, with the help of his wife who accompanied him, signed it above the number 6 that accompanies him on his first step into English football.

The former Defense and Justice and the Dutch Ajax also posed for the photo, where both the minor and the child were very smiling, unlike what happened when the Argentine left the place.

At that moment, both children burst into tears that they were able to meet one of their idols, who was empathetic and accomplished everything they expected. A signature and photo they will never forget.

Celebration from the substitute bench

Lisandro Martínez celebrated Manchester United’s qualification for the round of 16 of the FA Cup from the relay bench on Saturday. His team, with the introduction of Alejandro Garnacho, easily beat Second Division Reading 3-1.

Those led by erik tenhagwho continues to improve, set foot in the League Cup, beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 in Wednesday’s semi-final first leg.

There is a growing belief among United fans that the six-year wait for a trophy will end this season. The club also continues to struggle in the Europa League, where it will play the eagerly awaited duel against Barcelona of Spain next month.
