Manchester United ace Lisandro Martinez has a nickname for striker and team-mate Wout Weghorst.

The Dutch attacker joined the club on loan from Burnley in January to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Martinez, who won the World Cup with Argentina, has nicknamed Weghorst as 'Bobo'.

The name is a reference to Weghorst's war of words with Argentina star Lionel Messi at the World Cup in Qatar.

Martinez has apparently been joking around with Weghorst about the name, which Messi called him and translates to idiot in English.

Per SPORT, Martinez sees the funny side to the situation and does not have any ill feelings towards Weghorst.
