""Fair play to him," said Butt. "He has gone man-to-man with the best centre forward in the world. So, we come on here and say, 'well done'. Brilliant. He has done really well. "I just think when someone gets so upset about something on a podcast, or in the media, to come out and say, 'they can say what they want' and 'come to my house' - grow up. ""
""Everyone can talk on the television, but when you see [them] here face to face, no-one says anything.""
Lisandro Martinez publicly reacted after former Manchester United players Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes made jokes about him on a podcast. Butt and Scholes praised Martinez's performance in Manchester United's 2-0 win over Manchester City and noted his man-to-man work against Erling Haaland. Butt said Martinez had done really well but questioned why Martinez responded emotionally and invited critics to his home. Butt argued that players who react so strongly should not be at a big club. The exchange underscores a complicated relationship between the club and the famed Class of 92, who made 3,448 appearances and helped form the 1999 Treble-winning team. Ryan Giggs later served as interim manager and worked with Butt, Scholes, and Phil Neville.
