Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has been warned to keep away from Erling Haaland in the Manchester derby.
The Manchester outfits will renew their rivalry on Sunday afternoon and one of the key battles will see Martinez come up against the league's top scorer.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been critical of Martinez's height this season and he feels the Argentine should steer away from lock horns with Haaland.

"The best advice Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag can offer Lisandro Martinez about dealing with Erling Haaland is to keep away from him," Carragher told the Telegraph.
"Some battles can be won by outmuscling or outplaying an opponent. Other players need out-thinking. Martinez must be at his smartest to get the better of his Manchester City rival this weekend.
"It is a psychological as much as a physical test in the biggest fixtures against the best players, recognising what you are up against and trying to work out what the opponent wants you to do most, and what they enjoy least.
"That is the challenge for Martinez, Raphael Varane or anyone facing Haaland."
