Butt tells Lisandro Martinez to ‘f***ing grow up' as Ferdinand slams Man Utd teammates getting ‘personal'
CHRIS WHEELER: Lisandro Martinez has hit back at comments by Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt mocking his size‚ and dared the former Manchester United duo to repeat them to his face. Scholes and Butt joked on their podcast ahead of the 198th Manchester derby that Martinez's battle with Erling Haaland was such a mis-match that the 6ft 5in City striker would pick up the 5ft 9in United defender and throw him in the back of the net.
Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes have invited criticism from sections of the Manchester United fanbase after the pair mocked Lisandro Martinez's ability to deal with Erling Haaland ahead of this weekend's Manchester derby. The former United midfielders were speaking on The Good‚ The Bad & The Football podcast as they discussed United's chances against Manchester City‚ who visit Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. Comedian and United supporter Paddy McGuinness suggested the team could benefit from a bounce under Michael Carrick‚ saying: 'You know that new manager lift? I can see United beating City.'
Despite only having 33 per cent possession at Old Trafford‚ the Portuguese's side overcame the travelling Magpies thanks to a stunning left-footed volley from Patrick Dorgu in the first half. The Dane was deployed as a right winger in United's new-found system‚ which saw Amorim at last compromise on his principles and play a back four of Diogo Dalot‚ Ayden Heaven‚ Lisandro Martinezand Patrick Dorgu.
Manchester United could take some positives from their 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa but there was one glaring negative aside from the result. Towards the end of the first half at Villa Park‚ captain Bruno Fernandes pulled up with an apparent hamstring injury. He played the remainder of that half but did not reappear after the interval and was replaced by Lisandro Martinez.
The Argentine was expected to leave the club this summer after four years‚ and cut an emotional figure as he broke down into tears when seemingly waving goodbye to fans after Villa's last game of the season last summer. He appeared to have his heart set on joining United‚ with reports suggesting he contacted countryman and Red Devils star Lisandro Martinez over the move‚ and the two clubs were in discussions right until the end of the window.
Ruben Amorim is confident Harry Maguire and Mason Mount will be fit to face Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday after sustaining knocks in Manchester United's win at Liverpool last weekend. Long-term casualty Lisandro Martinez is expected to be the only absentee from Amorim's squad‚ although the Argentina defender is also set to return soon after stepping up his training routine. 'The squad is fine‚' said Amorim at his pre-match press conference at Carrington on Friday. 'We have some doubts. We had some issues during the week with Harry Maguire and Mason Mount; knocks but nothing serious. We will see tomorrow. Licha is out‚ but the rest are ready for the game.'
