If they found out, I'd expect to be disciplined.
“Walters_19_MuFC, can I see you in my office??”

“Sure what’s up boss?”

“I noticed you missed that quick meeting we had Christmas Day where we all laughed and joked around a bit.”

“Sorry boss, I missed the train back from my old man’s house.”

“I’m pulling you off the big account and taking back your Christmas bonus. Carry on.”

People seem to think people that earn huge amounts of money don’t still have human nature and are not perfect.

And so it should be. He’s our second best player in terms of talent from an outfield perspective. Constantly getting on his back for family related stuff is hardly conducive to getting the best out of him and is not in the clubs interests either. You have to adapt your management to certain players - that’s what Fergie would do.

Anyway not in the least surprised who is so outraged that Martial missed a training session. Just remember your allegiance is to the club - don’t fall into the trap of pursuing every little event that can be construed to justify Jose’s toxic man management. Give it a rest.
feck off. I literally said I am assuming it is a fake story. No player should get away with missing training. This has nothing to do with Jose. What a joke of a post.

Implying I am the one who has is confused about my allegiances when its others in here lining up to excuse one player for allegedly missing training. I wasn’t even criticising Martial to begin with, I only reacted after people saying he should be allowed to get away with it. People are only saying that because they like the player.

If he's missed training the managers well within his rights to reprimand him. Would be a bit silly to make him miss the game though, because he's the best forward at the club and we need to win.

All it takes is one tabloid article without even one source to divide the fanbase here. Talk about the media having an agenda to unsettle us.

I think it's non-story, yes he might have turned up late. But Ole's dealt with it in the right way, a contrast to Mourinho who would have called him out in public.

Progress in my eyes.

Give it a rest mate. Your agenda is just too transparent.
Apparently I have an agenda because I think players should not miss training :lol:. Yeah, I’m the one with an agenda. I literally said I am assuming the story is false. I would have reacted the same for any player.

Or you can switch it around and say people seem to think people that earn huge amounts of money think they can do as they please.

Slightly exaggeration, but I'm actually a teacher and have missed CPD training before and was disciplined for it.

Yea the discipline would only bother me in a selfish sense. As in I want to watch Martial today and not his replacement. The pitch forks coming for the guy get under my skin more.

I want him to start too, but I don't think the ability of a player should matter when disciplining them.

As it's first time (Under Ole), I imagine he will get a talking to and all will be forgiven.

What do you mean it’s not a one-off? Whenever I have good things to say about Martial, do I still have an agenda? I am the one giving Anthony the benefit of the doubt, so how exactly do I have an agenda?

The real people with an agenda are those trying to excuse a player for allegedly missing training. They will come up with 100 excuses for their favourite player but have the audacity to question my allegiance to the club :lol:. The fecking irony.

Away from the rumours, Ole made some comments about him. Seems to really rate him. Noted the need to get him one on one against defenders.

I honestly don't understand those that excuse everything certain players do. They dont want to believe anything from the media when it suits, whereas they were lapping up every story just a month ago about Mourinho as though it was gospel. I thought there was an effort to crack down on constant agenda posting on here but it's like a free for all these days on here.

Yep, how refreshing to have a manager who actually hypes up and believes in players.

It was Rojo under LVG
Wasn't that when he forgot his passport or something? It was a weird story.

There was also something about Di Maria not taking his flight to Manchester on purpose to force a move.

It happened at least two times with Rojo IIRC

They have tried to spin it on me to hide the fact that it’s them with an agenda.

Also, he missed a flight. Not that he was around and decided to skip training, I don't see the big deal especially if it's a one-off

Assuming the story is true of course and this goes for any player even fellani
It’s incredibly easy to not miss a flight. I’ve managed to go my entire life not missing one.

According to this, only Sanchez has created more chances per 90 mins at United in the league this season than Martial. Reddit source

Martial created five chances against Cardiff so wouldn't be surprised if under Ole his chances created goes up.

2nd time he has not reported back to the club on time in the past 6 months. I hope the club have taken action behind the scenes. Then again players have all the power these days. Fine him, drop him, he will run down his contract.

Nonsense. Ferguson let his best players off with stuff on several occasions. Why do people feel the need to make shit up like this all the time I’ll never know
It's a direct quote from his book: "Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough"

I never say players aren't allowed to be off somewhere. I'm trying to say that what Daily Mail said is likely false if he's in our starting XI today.

Fair point. I jumped the gun a bit and misinterpreted your post. Apologies.

Like if you pulled a sicky but weren’t really sick, you’d expect to be pulled off a job or fined?
In a professional full time job, you need to provide a sick note from the doctor if you miss your work due to sick/illness.

Players know how strongly they got it now,as do ofcourse the agents.
You have to tip-toe around the majority of these guys now.You cant go all Jose on them,which is fair enough because Jose's toxic attitude around the club was becoming unbearable for everyone.
Just how it is.

Hazard and Willian creating the most chances in the league tells me Chelsea have a problem with their striker :lol:.

Chelsea's one major issue : their strikeforce.
Had they got in a qaulity striker in the summer I think they would've been up there with Liverpool.

I think some are just siding with the story because he's done it before recently, valid reason or not, and his attitude has been called into question before.

Personally don't believe either way, but it's hardly the most outrageous unbelievable story so could be true. Maybe that's how they get you though.
Not the most outrageous crime either so appropriate punishment and get on with it if it is, unless he really starts being a dumbass.
Wasn't that when his baby mama had complications and so had to stay back?

And now he seems to have been food poisoned so having the runs and travelling, I can see how that would be awkward

All in all, he hasn't done anything of the sort without an adequate reason IMO

Damn, Martial has the most goals in the side.

Carry on.
You think a left back who has a sub standard deliviery should have more assists than our winger ?
