MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly banned a flag honouring defender Lisandro Martinez.
The Argentine defender, 24, is fast-becoming a fan favourite at Old Trafford following his £55million move from Ajax in the summer.
He has been affectionately nicknamed “the butcher” for his aggressive, combative style of play.
And some Man Utd fans acknowledged that during the 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday by holding up an Argentina flag with the image of a meat cleaver in the centre.
Martinez labelled the Stretford End banner “incredible” on social media after the game.
