Manchester United bans the butcher flag! (image)

Manchester United have banned a flag for their fans in honor of Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez.

Martinez, 24, has become a fan favorite at Old Trafford after joining United from Ajax for £ 55m at the Market last summer.

Martinez was nicknamed “The Butcher” due to his aggressive and rude style of playing against opponents.
Some United fans, during the 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday, paid homage to their player Lisandro Martinez, raising the Argentine flag with the image of a “cleaver” in the center, referring to the “butcher”.

Martinez posted a photo of the flag, which he called “incredible” on social media after the match.

But according to Radio Talk Sport the flag was banned from the club, because a white weapon was placed on the giant flag.

Martinez performed a great show against West Ham, winning all of his ground fights and 3 out of 4 air fights, successfully retrieving the ball 3 times and sending 58 successful passes with a 92% rate.
