His performances on the left to me is showing why he should eventually be playing as an AM.

Him leading the line leaves him having to move around all over the place to get in to space.

Playing in the centre away from the busy CB's ( holding on to our central striker) would leave martial to pick and choose spaces to dribble on to. The same way mata play playoff 3 attackers trying to pick a pass; martial should be there picking empty spaces playing balls in to and off our forwards.


Replacing Passing players like Carrick & even Mata are the least needed considering the whole squad can pass for 60% of the time. We need to line up much more vertical and with intent.

 

[Red Dreams]

we are burning this lad down.

 

[Santiago_KinderBueno]

Anyone see him as an AM/CF similar to how tevez used to play for us?

I think him leading the line is not using him to the best of his abilities. I love how precise his dribbling is and he could consistently be in a position to dribble in to open spaces.

If the manager is willing to use 442 or 4411 formation he could also be suitable as a second striker role to support the number 9 in my opinion.

 

[DWelbz19]

His passing isn't good enough to play a deeper role through the centre, and he's fairly one-footed. Out wide is the best place to utilise his pace and insanely tight close control. The only issue is keeping him involved in the match long enough to do damage, he can fizzle out a lot at the minute because we aren't getting the ball to him quick enough in advanced positions, or he just stands still too often waiting for the ball to come to him.

 

[Globule]

His future is probably as a central striker, but I see no reason why we can't keep him out on the left, cutting in, for the time being. It's where he's done his best work so far this season. For me, we should be buying a striker this summer that would work well with him.

 

[Amar__]

He made Clyne shit himself, absolutely owning him. Haven't seen defender being so scared against us for a long time.

 

[Cheesy]

He's terrific. Looks dangerous every time he's on the ball, got lots of little moments of skill and trickery, and consistently offers us more in attack than any other player.

 

[Truedevil]

He deserves so much better than our shit team, just hire Mou already and let him build a winning team around this guy.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Was a threat throughout, just too isolated.

 

[Cheesy]

Thought he played well. We don't get him enough of the ball, but he looked consistently threatening whenever he was on it. The only attacker in our team who offered anything substantial.

 

[Raw]

Constantly had 3 players on him. The other players need to help create space for the lad.

 

[Ryan7]

Tried to make things happen, along with Rashford.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

Tried to make things happen, along with Rashford.

Martial and Rashford were decent, we really need an equally dangerous right wing.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Tried to make something happen. Gulf between him and the other players bar Rashford was huge in ability.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Really wouldn't be surprised if he left us in the summer, along with De Gea.

 

[Devil may care]

He did all he could and along with Rashford at least caused Liverpool some problems.

 

[Pexbo]

Really wouldn't be surprised if he left us in the summer, along with De Gea.

feck off

 

[The White Pele]

He's an unreal talent. On par with the best we've had of that age.

 

[Bubz27]

Excited to see what he can do when we've got other dangerous attackers and defenders can't triple team him every time.

 

[harms]

He and De Gea were the only ones worthy the shirt tonight.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

feck off

Honestly, give me one reason why he'd stay?

 

[Scarecrow]

This is officially his most prolific season now. 12 goals for us + 1 for Monaco in August.

 

[Pexbo]

Honestly, give me one reason why he'd stay?

4 years left on a big contract, at a club where he can earn ever increasingly astronomical amounts over his career and at a club where the current manager will soon be leaving and a new manager with a huge budget will take over.

 

[The_Midfielder]

he is double tripled marked... Opponents know that he is the only one that needs to be marked out of the game..
Rashford--Martial --<RW> could be a front three that could cause havoc.. How we wished Memphis was that player..

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Only reason to watch United nowadays is this kid.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

4 years left on a big contract, at a club where he can earn ever increasingly astronomical amounts over his career and at a club where the current manager will soon be leaving and a new manager with a huge budget will take over.

If, say, one of the top teams comes knocking (Barcelona, Bayern, Real etc.), none of those reasons can stop him from leaving. (Obviously, IF he wants to leave)

 

[DWelbz19]

Don't get why we don't, you know, pass him the ball about 90% of the time. It's all van Gaal's Dutch side did with Robben and it worked pretty well.

 

[Pexbo]

If, say, one of the top teams comes knocking (Barcelona, Bayern, Real etc.), none of those reasons can stop him from leaving. (Obviously, IF he wants to leave)

You don't think we'd be able to tell a club like that to do one?

 

[Dobba]

Don't get why we don't, you know, pass him the ball about 90% of the time. It's all van Gaal's Dutch side did with Robben and it worked pretty well.

Because that would involve the players around him giving a toss.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

You don't think we'd be able to tell a club like that to do one?

Of course. However, what if Martial insisted on leaving this dumb?

Anyway, no point in arguing over this, we'll only go around in circles. I, for one, hope he isn't even considering it. He's a joy to watch.

 

[I_live_cement]

If, say, one of the top teams comes knocking (Barcelona, Bayern, Real etc.), none of those reasons can stop him from leaving. (Obviously, IF he wants to leave)

He seems like a smart kid. As talented as he is he'll know he has no chance of getting into Barca's team regularly, probably the same with Real depending on who they bring in.

 

[Kevin]

If Benzema doesn't get called up he might get his chance and set euro 2016 alight. The only success he'll be tasting for a while.

 

[DanNistelrooy]

He was really good tonight, very lively. He just needs better players around him, imagine if we had Shaw and Di Maria linking up with him down the left... That could have been a reality with a bit of luck...

One thing he does have to work on - striking the ball with power. He seems to have almost mastered the placed curling shot but I'm struggling to recall a sweetly struck shot where has put his through and got it on target. Not bringing this up because he had a few wayward attempts tonight but just an observation from the season so far.

 

[charlenefan]

His best game tonight, really stepped up to the occasion just not quite at the level to do it all on his own 'yet'

 

[Red Pavan]

If Benzema doesn't get called up he might get his chance and set euro 2016 alight. The only success he'll be tasting for a while.

He will be in the squad regardless of whether Benzema gets called up or not.

 

[Kevin]

He will be in the squad regardless of whether Benzema gets called up or not.

I was hoping to see him start. Maybe he will anyway, since he's started on the left for them the last few friendlies.

 

[Americano]

Honestly, give me one reason why he'd stay?

Twitter followers. He's young enough that it might matter to him. Fingers crossed.

 

[Klopper76]

I thought he had Clyne in his pocket for the entire game tonight. He's an incredible talent.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

His crossing has improved too.
