Martinez, 27, and Traore, 29, locked horns in Sunday’s Premier League clash between United and the Cottagers at Craven Cottage.
Martinez, who’s nicknamed ‘The Butcher’, said: “I sent him back to the gym. I learned from the first one where he killed me, I killed him back. He is difficult to play against and I learned from the first situation.”
Traore caught wind of the Argentine’s comments and hit back on social media.
The winger posted a pic of himself training and tagged Martinez with an ominous warning and a winky-face emoji.
Traore posted: “Don’t worry we will meet again.”
The ex-Wolves star kept his promise as he got the better of some intense challenges with Martinez during Sunday’s meeting.
Things looked at risk of boiling over when Martinez went in two footed on his much larger opponent.
Bizarrely, it was Martinez who crumpled to the floor following the dangerous tackle.
Traore took a swipe out of the defender on social media after the match by sharing a cheeky snap.
It showed the forward walking back to his half with the Man Utd ace left on the floor writhing in pain following the clash between them.
Traore posted the following casual caption on Instagram: “Tough loss. We deserved more, but we will keep working hard and improving.”
Nevertheless, Martinez got the last laugh during the latest chapter of their saga as he scored the winner on 78 minutes to lead United to an important 1-0 victory in west London. — Sun.
