Lisandro Martinez is arguably one of the most aggressive players not only in Manchester United but the whole league. The guy has YouTube compilations of his super-aggressive tackles. His gameplay has rendered him the nickname ‘The Butcher’. His aggressive style looks like he arrived in soccer a couple of decades late. While the opponents fears his wrath sometime in the heat of the moment, the Butcher sometimes forgets that friendly fire is on in real life.
Yesterday Manchester United faced West Ham United in the fifth round of the never-ending FA Cup. The match was a foregone conclusion. However, at one moment, WHU leads the game with one goal. Towards the end, Manchester United realized they are the devils and by the time the final whistle came off the score was 3-1.

While the player celebrated, Lisandro Martinez crashed into them while trying to join the players. This has really put a very ironic touch on his nickname. The Argentinian starlet has turned out to be a valuable asset to a defensive side that has Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire.

While talking about his nickname with the Daily Mirror, he said, “Yes, I am called the Carnicero – The Butcher of Amsterdam. We Argentines do everything with passion and when I go out on the pitch, I fight for every ball. If I have to step over dead bodies, I do it.” This aggressive mindset has taken his role from a young starlet to a seasoned assassin for the red devils.
