Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez made two young fans cry in a touching encounter.
A video that appeared on social media shows the Argentine stopping his car and signing United T-shirts for two children.
This happened after the victory of United over Reading with a score of 3:1.
The video was posted by the children’s father, who thanked Martinez for his kindness.
After signing the T-shirt, Martinez finds time to take a picture with his two siblings.
Shortly after the United player left, two young fans were left in tears of joy and clearly excited after meeting their idol.
The father tweeted: “That’s why players should never forget who pays their salaries and how much football means to the fans.”

Martinez responded to the tweet with two emoticons in the form of hearts.
In response to Martinez , the children ‘s father replied: “Thank you very much. My children will remember this moment for the rest of their lives.”

The video went viral and brought Martinez the applause of fans.
This communication is just the latest in a long list of meetings between Martinez and Old Trafford fans, who treat him like a fish to water.
Whenever on the ball, the fans chant his name out loud, as well as the player’s country of origin.
The World Cup winner recently opened his scoring account for United in a 3-2 defeat to Emirates and immediately ran to the support of the guests to celebrate with them.
It’s easy to understand why Martinez has become a cult hero of the Theater of Dreams. His steel, grit and serious defense are what United have lacked over the years.
