LISANDRO MARTINEZ has bizarrely called Manchester United team-mate David de Gea a “b****” on Instagram following the club’s win at Everton.
The Red Devils were tested at Goodison Park but came through for a deserved victory.
It was the perfect ending to a difficult week which began with United losing 6-3 in the Manchester Derby.
Martinez and De Gea were at the centre of Man Utd’s defensive effort as they fended off a late siege on their goal from Everton.
The defender was clearly in awe of De Gea’s command of his box – but expressed his admiration in a strange way.
The Spanish keeper shared a pic on Instagram with his opposite number Jordan Pickford.

His caption read: “Top resilience and victory for the team.
“Tough stadium to play but the spirit of the group was shown.”
In response, Martinez wrote: “Que bueno sos choborra”, which translates as “You’re so good b****”.
The day had not gotten off to the best start for De Gea, who was beaten by a stunning long-range effort from Alex Iwobi.
