Despite his injury setback, the Argentine fired back, defending his importance to Ruben Amorim’s team.
Sat alongside Jamie Carragher for the latest Fan Debate, Scholes said: "Even when he (Martinez) is fit, he's not good enough to win the Premier League with."
Martinez responded on Instagram: "This jinx guy is really hurting... You put him in Argentina, and he wouldn't survive.”
Scholes won the Premier League numerous times, the FA Cup, and the Champions League at United, while Martinez has only tasted FA Cup success at Old Trafford.
