Martin Odegaard confronted Lisandro Martinez as players from both Arsenal and Man Utd clashed during the first half of their pre-season friendly in New Jersey
Arsenal and Manchester United might have only been playing a friendly in New Jersey – but that didn’t stop things from boiling over in the scorching American sunshine.
The two Premier League rivals continued their preparations for the new season by facing off at MetLife Stadium. And there was a significant flash point just a few moments before half-time after a hard challenge from Lisandro Martinez in Eddie Nketiah.
The tough-tackling Argentinian went flying in as Nketiah competed for a loose ball and clattered into the Arsenal man, leaving him in a heap although he appeared to get some of the ball.
Bukayo Saka was also on the receiving end of some hard challenges. Martin Odegaard was far from impressed and decided he’d had enough.
