• Former players Scholes and Butt critical before derby

• ‘If he wants to say something … he can come to my house’

Lisandro Martínez has criticised Paul Scholes for mocking him on a podcast but not directly to the Manchester United defender’s face, following the team’s 2-0 win against Manchester City at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Scholes and Nicky Butt, another prominent former United player, were each scathing about the diminutive Martínez and his ability to mark Erling Haaland, when speaking on the Good, the Bad and the Football before the 198th derby.

On 65 minutes Michael Carrick’s second tenure went electric as Manchester United scored a classic breakaway goal by Bryan Mbeumo that sent the interim head coach berserk in the technical area.

After a clearing Harry Maguire header, the ball evaded Rayan Cherki and Bruno Fernandes galloped forward. He had Amad Diallo to the right and Patrick Dorgu and Mbeumo on the left; United’s streetwise captain delayed the pass, then found the Cameroonian, whose finish beat Gianluigi Donnarumma.

• Irishman fell out with Lisa Carrick after 2014 criticism

• ‘It is the way of the world,’ says new interim head coach

Michael Carrick has shrugged off Roy Keane’s jibe regarding his wife “probably doing the team talk” at Manchester United by claiming it does not bother him.

Keane made the comment about Lisa Carrick after the 44-year-old’s appointment as United head coach until the end of the season. Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, the Irishman was responding to Jamie Carragher’s comment that United should not have employed Carrick in the role. “Well, his wife can always come in because she’s got a bit of a big mouth sometimes. She’s probably doing the team talk,” Keane said.

• Executive meeting moved to meet with interim manager

• Martínez ‘didn’t want to play any more’ after knee injury

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and at least one of the Glazer family are at Manchester United’s training base on Thursday to support the interim manager, Michael Carrick, before Saturday’s derby with Manchester City.

United were due to hold an executive committee meeting of senior management at a different location but this was moved to Carrington so that they could speak to Carrick before the first game of his second caretaker tenure.
