Manchester United Treble winner Nicky Butt has hit back at Lisandro Martinez after the Argentine's reaction to his podcast with Paul Scholes.

Butt and Scholes mocked Lisandro going into Saturday's derby against Manchester City and after the win, the defender responded, stating neither ex-player would say the same "to my face".

Butt reacted, saying on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: "For me, we are a podcast, and we talk like three lads in a pub having a conversation; we are not on Sky doing commentary on a game.

"It is tongue in cheek, and it is quite obvious that Haaland is not going to pick him up and run with him. It is f*****g obvious that. It is a figure of speech.

"I just think when someone gets so upset about someone in the media or on a podcast saying something about them, to come out and basically say they can say what they want, come to my house and all that, f*****g grow up.

"It is literally if you are going to get so emotional about someone saying something and come out and react like that, you shouldn’t be a big football club because I am telling you now he is going to get that for the rest of his career at Manchester United.

"You get your ups and downs, and I got so much crap when I played at Man United and Newcastle, but then next week you get your plaudits, and you get clapped at. There is no personal issue with Martinez and us. None."
