Inside Lisandro Martinez and Adama Traore’s heated feud as Fulham star carries on row after defeat to Man Utd
Share:
THE HEATED rivalry between Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez and Fulham ace Adama Traore has been extended. Martinez, 27, and Traore, 29, locked horns on Sunday's Premier League clash between United and the Cottagers at Craven Cottage. That was the second meeting between the two teams after August's Prem opener at Old Trafford that saw Man Utd prevailing with a score of 1-0 thanks to Joshua Zirkzee's winner.

Martinez and Traore posed as a key flashpoint following some intense challenges on the pitch. And at some point the centre-back's 5'9" frame somehow managed to overpower his heavyweight Fulham opponent off the ball in the first half. The Argentina international then went on to rub it in with a cheeky statement during a post-match interview.

Martinez said: "I sent him back to the gym. I learned from the first one where he killed me, I killed him back. He is difficult to play against and I learned from the first situation.". Traore caught wind of the Argentine's comments and hit back on social media.
