Yeah, I would like to see Martial play just off Lukaku.
Weren't we set up something like that away against CSKA? That was one of our best performances this season.
Heck, that combo is how we won against Spurs.
If we sort out the wing backs / full backs we could go with that setup more often. Would not need to rely on Martial for width, which he does poorly.
Just to chime in on Lukaku individually... He has done a phenomenal job . For a young striker, to come into this two faced team that's solid one day, pathetic the next, with pretty shambolic service ...he's at 20+ goals . That's awesome .
Recently we look at RVP, Zlatan and compare. Those are world class strikers that came at the zenith of their careers. It'd be more fair to compare with the likes of Saha (great but always injured ...plus that supporting cast was one of our best ever ), Forlan (he really struggled...great striker but shows it can be hard making the junp to a club like United ) and more recent Chicharito (got plenty of goals under a SAF side, was never really polished not able to nail a starting spot). Last but not least, Berbatov. Class player but even he was missing a beat with us. It's just not as simple as come to United and score 20/30 goals. Especially with oro current side.
Lukaku has done quite well. I'm excited for him to turn more doubters around in coming seasons.
