After Manchester United's impressive 2-0 win against Manchester City at Old Trafford, Lisandro Martinez was asked about some comments made by Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt. Both former United players had expressed their doubts about Martinez's ability to handle the upcoming match against City, specifically against star player Erling Haaland.
But Martinez was quick to brush off their criticism, stating that he cannot control what people say and can only focus on his performance on the pitch. And that's exactly what he did in the derby match, where he played a crucial role in United's victory.
In response to Scholes and Butt's comments, Martinez told Stadium Astro, "You know, people can always talk whatever they want. It's something I can't control." He emphasized that his focus remains on playing his best for the team and helping them change their current situation.
Martinez also expressed his admiration for Michael Carrick, who took over as United's manager just three days before the match. He praised Carrick's impact on the players, stating that he instilled confidence and composure in them, which was evident in their performance on the pitch.
And it seems that Martinez's trust in Carrick paid off, as United put up a strong defensive display and played with confidence to secure a well-deserved victory. Martinez also noted the minimal offside call that went against them, but overall, he believed that United deserved the win.
