Adama Traoré is going through a real ordeal at Fulham

For its return to business, Manchester United won 1-0 last night against Fulham in the Premier League. A victory assured thanks to a goal from new recruit Joshua Zirkzee at the end of the match. But behind the result, it was also the duel between Lisandro Martinez and Adama Traoré that kept the spectators in suspense.

In the first half, Manchester United narrowly escaped the opening goal from the former Barça player, who then dominated the Argentinian in a shoulder duel. A revenge taken by Lisandro Martinez as soon as he returned from the locker room, after sending his opponent to the ground. Invited to comment on the situation after the match, the 2022 world champion joked about this scene: “I sent him back to his workout. As soon as he killed me, I killed him too”he said on the microphone of Sky Sports.
