As far back as Palace away teams were already doubling up on him. Pardew was very complimentary to him saying he is the only one worth worrying about. Neutralise him and we are limp

True, he needs better support from the other forwards and midfieders.
Watch Stoke gang up on him and we turn to shite. It's too predictable.
But think of all that space it would leave the likes of Rooney and Lingard in... Quaking in their boots.
Man Utd 3:0 Stoke
What a bloody goal. This boy. 
Suck it!
Have any manager you like, if we can develop this guy correctly he can carry us to titles on his own.
Not utter garbage this lad, is he?
Reminds me of the Blackburn manager at the time when Valencia was on song "we tried to double up on him, but it was useless". Martial can dribble on top of that.
Literally the next Henry.
Whoever gave the green light to sign this boy (be it LVG or Woody), well done!
I literally doubt that.
He's been best player in the world his age.
Tomorrow's headline
The Sun: "Martial shines as Guardiola plots move for youngster"
Lad is just filthy. Pure and other filthy good

The best bit about him, he makes football fun to watch, which it should be.
I absolutely love the guy. Best talent we've had since Ronaldo.
Why?
What a finish,thought it was going to go over the bar.
Semantically, I doubt you can literally be anyone else but yourself. Therefore, he can figuratively, seeing as that means metaphorically, speaking become the next Henry. I'm just being a dick.
Lovely goal, and a bit different to what he's scored for us. He keeps on showing that he's got more and more in his locker
I haven't been this excited about a United player since the days of Ronaldo, he really is a joy to watch.
Pretty convinced this is his best position. Not many can do a better job than him in this left forward role.
Ridiculously good at running at the defender. Creates a chance for himself or somebody else every 10 minutes.
I think his decision making has improved a lot since joining.

I have been saying this all season, he is to far up the pitch when he receives the ball when playing centrally, he needs to receive it deeper so that he can run at defenders at high speed.
Please, for once, sub him off now. It's not often we can afford it but even when we can, he still plays 90 mins for some reason. When was the last time he got a break?
Edit: Thank you! Could've been earlier but I'm content.

Do you prefer Martial as a striker or left winger?
Striker in the long run, but for now LW since he's much more involved that way.
Gladly
What a player.
We've basically signed the next Messi.
I hope we don't burn him out, especially with the Euros coming up too.
He has the potential to be better imo.
If he is 70% of Henry I will be happy
Where's that ''we need to sign the next Messi'' thread gone to?
Brilliant.
Best young player in world football. I struggle to think of anyone better.
Not far wrong really! In terms of top talents he's pretty much it!
Agreed but I think this lad is even more direct and explosive. His mentality is spectacular.. one of the most composed and confident players I've ever seen. Always felt Henry had a faux arrogance.. something which held him back from being a proper all time great and didn't quite match the likes of R9, Eusebio (truly great strikers). Whereas Martial looks like someone who could dominate CL finals and world cups.. we are truly blessed to have him.
