How refreshing was that? I hope he makes the best out of his time here!
He'll fit right inNice interview. Be surprised if he scores many, because we don't create much and his finishing is pretty bad.
The streets of Lagos are buzzing:
ok thenManchester United don't like blacks. They only play with whites
Someone clearly hasn't seen the team, ever! How far back would you have to go to find a Manchester United team without black players?It's like the plot for the movie Goal 4!
ok then
Does he post on the Caf? His first comment was if we could get someone better, we should have, he was proud indeed!It's like the plot for the movie Goal 4!
ok then
If he does OK I can see us signing him and tbh he'd jump at the chance I think.I think he will score between 5 to 9 goals and become a cult hero. There will be pressure to turn his deal to permanent. Which the board will succumb to. All plans to get a top striker will be abandoned. He will then have a massive goal drought and we will be begging the board to get a new striker in January.
Not really. Martial is likely to be the biggest beneficiary of him in the team.Martial FC are gonna hate him if he does decent
It feels like United had fewer black players than other sides for a long time. Giggs and Paul Parker were in our first 10. Rio was in the first 20. We've essentially doubled the number of black people with Manchester United appearances over the last 10 years alone.Someone clearly hasn't seen the team, ever! How far back would you have to go to find a Manchester United team without black players?
.... a quick google later....
in the 70's. Since then we've regularly had black players in our team - http://www.mufcinfo.com/manupag/anti_racism/anti_racism.html

Yup, added to the fact we are United and everyone is desperate to have a slight on us.And yet his former club, Chelsea couldn't get one striker in that very same window despite going to court to get it's transfer ban lifted.
I am guessing it means that Chelsea is non existent in world football then?
People are making such stupid assessment about a loanee.
Lovely from Antonio! Boy I miss him also! All the good guys are gone! ;/Tweet

Dude have you forgotten about my main man the hugging care bear Mata?Lovely from Antonio! Boy I miss him also! All the good guys are gone! ;/
From his time at Watford, he always seemed to scuff them in.What makes you say his finishing is pretty bad?
Love this man already.
His goal ratio in the CSL is pretty decent. He scored 25 goals in the championship and 17 in the PL. He knows the PL which is a bonus. I am not expecting him to be anything amazing but a player that could get a goal and occupy the penalty area so others have space.From his time at Watford, he always seemed to scuff them in.
Also have Nigerian friends who moan about how many chances he misses for the national team.
Nice guy looking forward to playing for his dream club.
Fecking hell.It's gonna be
Martial - Ighalo - James
Isn't it? Surely?
Same, his happiness and desire to be able to play for United is so refreshing and infectious. Really hope he does well, from my memories of his time at Watford, he's strong, quick, has decent technique and can use his imagination to break free. Not going to light the world on fire, but I hope he surprises alot of people.Love this man already.
I’m really buying in to the idea of Ole being DOF. Maybe this guy will be a success, maybe he won’t. But our approach to transfers is the best it’s been since Fergie. I absolutely agree with everything he’s done with the squad since he joined. Perhaps Ole is lacking tactically, but I love this squad he’s building and I think it could be quite special in a couple of years.Really starting to warm up to this guy, he seems like a genuine fan that's living the dream right now. Wasn't at all fussed by the move on deadline day but I'm more than willing to give him a chance the more we learn about him.
Feels good having a player willing to take a pay cut to join a team he loves for a change. He also seems to have a plan for how to fit in best tactically with the rest of our forwards given that he's been watching our games
They’re probably abducting black people, brainwashing them and making them slaves. Or sex slaves,not just regular slaves but sex slaves and shit.Nice guy looking forward to playing for his dream club.
No other options.Fecking hell.
Depressing

We will see. I am ready to bet Anthony will outperform Odion.I don't think so - Martial joined in 2015 and has shown very little desire.
Those who know, know.Ajegunle boy.
Maybe this will give Martial a much needed kick up the arse to find form again, I like that Ighalo has already been written off by most of the media & pundits because think it will really put the fire in his belly to prove them wrong.Fantastic interview - really rooting for the guy! We're seeing with him, Bruno, Maguire, James and AWB players that are coming to the club for the right reasons. This is why I trust Ole, he's getting the right kind of players into the club. It's a process but we'll see the benefits down the line.
