Scholes & Nicky Butt FIRE BACK at Martínez… My Reaction

In today’s video I react to the unfolding Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt vs Lisandro Martínez saga after controversial comments on their podcast The Good, The Bad & The Football. On the show, Butt joked that Erling Haaland would “pick Martínez up and run with him like a dad with a toddler”, while Scholes added Haaland would “score then throw him in the net” — comments clearly intended as banter but which sparked a bigger debate about former United stars critiquing current players.

After United’s 2-0 win over Manchester City, Martínez hit back, saying “if he wants to say something to me, he can come to my house… I don’t care” and criticising pundits who won’t say things “to your face”. Scholes later posted on Instagram in a tongue-in-cheek congratulation (“Someone’s had a good game… Tea, no sugar pls”), and Butt doubled down on the podcast, telling Martínez to “f*ing grow up” and insisting criticism is part of playing at a big club.

This video isn’t just a reaction — I discuss whether United legends in the media are helping the club or creating unnecessary distractions. Is this kind of punditry constructive analysis, or are Scholes and Butt overstepping by publicly questioning Martínez’s mentality and ability? Let me know what you think in the comments.
