Query using accent mark Doctrine + Symfony + PostgreSQL

I have a method in Doctrine repository to search a person like this:

 function search($value)
{
    $qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('p');
    $qb->where($qb->expr()->like(
        'LOWER(p.lastName)',
        "'%" . mb_strtolower($value) . "%'"));
}

Example:

No	Name	Last name
1	Luis	Sanchez
2	David	Sánchez

When I use this method and the input is ‘Sanchez’ only returns record No. 1, and if the input is ‘Sánchez’ only returns record No. 2 (Change a for á). I need to get all records from my database no matter if the input contains any accent mark (á, é, í, ó, ú).
