Right, what's the guff on Martial being ready for Bournemouth? Any news?

Desperately wanna see him in an Ole team vs Bournemouth - gonna be such an open game.
Trained with the team today. He should be ready.

Hoping he's back for Bournemouth. Gives us that natural width.
You really wonder what was going on under mourinho because this season in particular martial hardly ever stuck out wide when it was clear we needed the width. I just can’t wrap my head around how the team was so bad under mourinho. I’d pay a lot of money to watch a behind the scenes documentary on team training under mourinho.

We were able to get him in quite a few 1v1 situations against Cardiff, and he's at his best when running at players.

Against Cardiff there were a few balls hit diagonally, I think from Lindelof quickly to isolate him with the full bac.... Mourinho never played that way ..

That's not ok.

Can't remember who it was but a few years ago there was a footballer who always seemed to miss his flight.

Honeymoon period showing signs of waning already for Ole if the players start acting up.
I guess it'll show us whether Ole has longterm capabilities for us or not.
There's only so much you can get by-by being nicey-nicey.
It'll be horrible if some of the players start walking over him.

All it takes is for one player to go slightly out of line and some may be inclined to follow.
We've seen it before with our players under Moyes,LVG and Jose.Why couldn't the same happen to Ole ?
If this is true and Martial has stepped slightly out of line hopefully the news the Ole has nipped-it-in-the-bud is true.

Hope to God it doesn't happen for million of reasons. Would've meant our players are indeed twats and it wasn't all on the managers. Think this is one-off, though and it's actually good it happened right now and not after some defeat or draw.

Elaborate please?
He had been sexting with some girl while his now pregnant gf(?) was in Paris. The girl went to media about it and they rebuked her(i think) , so she put it out on the internet herself.

Wasn’t that years ago? Or his history repeating itself? :lol:

So he is having a second child? I thought he just had one in the summer?

Didn’t the boys have a day off on christmas day? I remember Ole mentioning something about it during the presser.

Don't think they're that stupid. Excuses out of the window now with Mourinho gone and you'd have to live in a cloud cuckoo land to think the fans will turn on Solskjaer in any sort of conflict with them.

I wasnt convinced he was sick neither was Ole. We will never know but if he wasnt then is a clear sign of his commitment to the team and his career in general.

Given there were rumours he was late back from France before the Huddersfield game and that's why he wasn't at the team hotel I was never convinced by Ole's he's unwell comments after the game

I love him but he needs to cut out the personal bullshit that is holding him back.

Team Martial is going to need to reform
Someone in the comments said he was seen on a flight and that the food poisoning thing was a cover up. The team didn't train on Christmas day though so the mail must be wrong somewhere.

Rumours stemming from a random Swedish twitter user (who only posts United stuff btw) who ‘happened’ to be on the same flight... Might be true, but hardly anything concrete.

Before everyone gets their pitchforks out remember it is just as likely the mail have made eveythieev up. Wouldn't be the first time.

Not saying they definitely have but it is possible. Also we need martial as without him we got zero width.


Hell look at all the quotes just coming out now from Ole. Doesn't sound like a manager annoyed with his player to me.
