Lisandro Martinez Hits Back at Paul Scholes’ Criticism with Fiery Response

Scholes Questions Martinez’s Place in a Title-Winning Manchester United Team

Former Manchester United legend Paul Scholes recently voiced his concerns about the current state of the club, warning that without a significant overhaul in the summer, the Red Devils could struggle massively next season. One of his main criticisms was directed at Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez, whom he deemed unfit to be part of a Premier League title-winning team.

Martinez’s Blistering Response on Social Media

Martinez, known for his passionate style both on and off the pitch, wasted no time in firing back at Scholes. Taking to social media, the Argentine defender posted a scathing response, stating:
“This jinx guy is really hurting… You put him in Argentina, and he wouldn’t survive.”
His remark quickly gained traction among Manchester United fans, sparking heated debates over Scholes’ harsh analysis.

Neal Maupay Joins the War of Words

Scholes’ criticisms didn’t just stop at Martinez. He also took a shot at Everton loanee Neal Maupay, suggesting that the French striker was simply “taking the p**s” when performing James Maddison’s darts celebration.

Maupay didn’t let the comments slide. In a cutting reply, he referenced a viral video from 2021 that involved Scholes and his daughter, stating:
“Surprised Paul Scholes can fit my name in his mouth alongside his daughter’s toes.”

Fan Reactions and the Growing Feud

Scholes’ remarks have clearly ruffled some feathers, drawing strong reactions from both players and fans alike. While some supporters agree with the former midfielder’s brutal honesty, others believe he has been overly critical of the current squad, especially Martinez, who remains a key figure in United’s defense when fit.

With tensions running high, it remains to be seen whether Scholes will respond or if Martinez and Maupay will let their performances do the talking on the pitch.
