Lisandro Martinez delivered a pointed response to Paul Scholes after shutting out Erling Haaland in Manchester United's 2-0 derby win. Scholes and Nicky Butt had mocked the defender's size, with Butt joking Haaland could carry him like a toddler. Martinez invited Scholes to his house for a face-to-face conversation.

Martinez dismissed Scholes' criticism as empty talk, saying he respects those who genuinely want to help the club but noted no one speaks their mind directly. He emphasized his focus remains on his performance and the team, not external noise. His motivation, he said, comes from his family, not punditry.

The win also marked a new chapter under interim coach Michael Carrick, whom Martinez praised for restoring the club's mentality. Carrick's brief tenure follows Ruben Amorim's exit and Darren Fletcher's interim spell. While some like Gary Neville praised the performance, Roy Keane urged perspective, reminding fans it's only one game.
