Lisandro Martinez and Adama Traore continued their personal rivalry as the pair clashed during Man United’s 1-0 victory over Fulham on Sunday evening.
The pair took shots at each other earlier this season with Martinez claiming he had sent the powerful winger ‘to the gym’ during their Premier League opener Old Trafford.
During United’s 1-0 victory at Old Trafford, Martinez in one moment of the game was able to hold off Traore, who is regarded as one of the quickest and most powerful players in the Premier League.
After the game, Martinez gave a post-match interview in which he told Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher that he ‘sent him (Traore) to the gym’.
Posting on Instagram, the Spanish forward sent a six-word reply to the Argentine defender.
‘Don’t worry we will met [sic] again @lisandromartinezzz,’ Fulham’s speed merchant wrote with a winking-face emoji.

Martinez was somewhat fortunate to escape without a card for a studs up challenge
And they did meet again on Sunday with many believing Martinez was lucky not to be sent off.
The United defender went in on the Fulham man with his studs up but escaped without a booking.
The two plays then came together with Martinez having a pop at Traore before the forward pushed him away.
And it was Martinez who would have the last laugh das his 78th minute deflected strike sealed the three points for the Red Devils.
Looking for just their fourth league win since coach Ruben Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag in November, United created very few openings in a poor first half at Craven Cottage.
