Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has taken aim at television pundits following his standout performance in the club’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City, insisting criticism is easy when delivered from a studio.
The Argentine centre-back was immense at the Etihad on Saturday, shackling Erling Haaland and helping United record just their third Premier League clean sheet of a difficult campaign.
Martinez’s display came days after former United midfielders Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes questioned his ability to cope with Haaland. Butt claimed the Norwegian would “pick him up like a toddler”, while Scholes suggested the striker would “throw him in the net”.
