This kid, barring injury, will be world class someday soon. Extremely gifted. Gooners must be fecking sick as parrots.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Aside from Henry comparisons, he does strike me as an Arsenal-type player. Be lovely if he could rub salt in the wound on Sunday.
Can we clone 2 more of him?

Would be a nice front 4.

He's the best player at the club. That's saying something with Mata, DDG, BFS, Carrick and Rooney around.
Smalling>Martial
It's pretty close isn't it.
Ugh, Martial Martial Martial.
Another missed assist today, no thanks to Rooney. But quite amazing how he just skinned their defender effortlessly before that.
It's clear that he's already a marked man though, hope he gets more protection from referees.

His ability to glide past players so easily reminds me of a young Ronaldo (without the insane trickery). The Brazilian version. Not that I think he is or will be half as good as perhaps the best striker of all time, I just enjoy it when players carry a similar playing style as the legendary R9.
I was thinking the same thing earlier - The Original Ronaldo without the tricks, but with all the strength and tenacity
Cracked me up. Thank you.I get what you mean. I haven't kept tracked of the defenders (baseless assumption they are experienced defenders) that have done that to him but he has been put off-balanced a few times. Physically he looks strong for a 19, so I really have to put it down to inexperience for the time being. One of his first moment for United was in a tussle for the ball with a Liverpool player (Can?) and he showed his strength. Can't expect a 19yr old to know every art/trick of the trade.
He's only getting started...
Needs a better strike partner though

As long as we don't make him angry and confused it should be o.k.
It must be frustrating for him to play with Rooney. Get in Herrera and we shall be potent up front
The best dribbler we've had since skinny wing Ronaldo or that 18 month period Nani was great.
I can not wait till his individual performance is uploaded on YouTube, since I missed the game. Anyway, I m looking forward to when he gets a better partner playing alongside him in the future. Perhaps Mata, Wilson or Januzaj from our current players could be an ideal partnership.
This boy has talent.
One of the first names on the team sheet as far as I'm concerned. He's a joy to watch at full gallop.
He is ice cool. Hardly any hint of fear when he plays.
Read between the lines...I dont think that comment is necessarily about the quality of our squad.
I get shudders when I think where our attack would be without the lad. We hit the fecking lottery with him, didn't we? Don't care what anyone says, nobody thought he'd be this good so soon.
Who would you recommend?
I only caught 20 minutes of the match and had not yet seen any highlights of him, he was immediately impressive. Everything from touch, to composure and skill nevermind his relentlessness. Haven't seen what sort of two way player he is in terms of tracking back or winning balls back but looks a very quality player
Never stops boggling my mind. The music... are they chosen randomly or whatever's free online?
KdB would have been sensational I think. Anyone else of a similar quality? Griezmann maybe
You need to constantly remind yourself that he is 19.
He just generates excitement when he has the ball.

Griezmann is the perfect fit. His speed to beat the offside trap from the no.10 position and ice-cool finishing will complement Martial's hold up game seamlessly.
Great find just need another player ala Bale to play around him. We'd be scary we are very close to becoming a top team again.
Another gem please..not a galatico that doesnt want to be here...after Herrera, Darmian and Martial I now trust the scouting team to find just that.
Owen Hargreaves reminded us aplenty.
But, yeah, he's really very, very good. Last night was quite possibly my favourite game of his due to the quality of the opposition we faced.
This was no Ipswich or Sunderland, games in which you'd expect us to dominate. Wolfsburg are a good side and he gave their back line a bit of a hiding. On another night he'd have an assist and possibly a goal to his name.
... Top quality?
We hit the jackpot, boys!

It's hard to not get too excited right. I tend to give young players a season of bedding in and growing into consistency before being confident that they could be a mainstay, but man he just looks like the real deal it's hard not to get carried away.
Must be a good contest in training. Hopefully we never have to see it in club football
The kid is special, absolutelynodoubtaboutthat!
Imagine a world where he played week-in, week-out with a forward passing, attack-minded, energy-laden number 10!
Fast, strong, clever.... Hard to keep a lid on it cause he's only 19.... But what a player so far!

His ability to control the ball inside the box with two, three players around him is unreal. Also whenever he gets the ball close to, but outside, the box he moves inside in a jiffy and suddenly the defender can no longer risk tackling him. Add that to his steely composure and I'm having a very, very hard time not getting super hyped about this kid. Sensational.
This is all thanks to the iPads people, don't forget that.
