Manchester United is off to a poor start in the Premier League campaign, with two defeats and one win so far. Their first true test against Liverpool resulted in a humbling 3-0 defeat at home.

Following the match, defender Lisandro Martinez came under fire from Manchester United supporters after sharing a controversial photograph while on international duty with Argentina. The backlash comes in the wake of a challenging period for Martinez and his club.

The Argentine defender has endured a rough patch with Manchester United, having featured in consecutive defeats to Brighton and Liverpool. The loss to Liverpool, a 3-0 thrashing, was particularly demoralizing for the team. Despite these recent struggles, Martinez posed for a photo with Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who is also his Argentina teammate.
