Probably caus of him shagging around if anything.Rumours his wife has gone back to France and they have split due to her being homesick....
This. I don't get how he's been average. He moved from the French league at 19 years old and immediately became our best attacker by a country mile, received the Golden Boy award and is rightfully regarded as one of the best and most talented young players in the world. He's mostly been playing on the left, yet he's got 13 goals and 7 assists and if his teammates weren't so fecking useless, the stats would have been even more impressive. He's had some quiet games, but who doesn't? Especially at 19-20.Calling his season average is one of the stranger things I've read here. Even stranger coming from a decent poster.
Home sick even though France is a 1.2 hour flight? Jesus.. it takes me that exact time to get from my Home house to my college house and not by first classRumours his wife has gone back to France and they have split due to her being homesick....
She is in France right now (or somewhere else warm) according to her Instagram at least.Rumours his wife has gone back to France and they have split due to her being homesick....
According to rumours, Martial went with another girl on some date and shagged her as well, apparently they've removed their photo's where they are together on Instagram as well. There seems to be some truth in it.She is in France right now (or somewhere else warm) according to her Instagram at least.

AgreedHe has not had an average season if we're assessing expectations realistically. The way he's played has given us hope that he's going to be a world class player, but some are now reassessing his season by those exacting standards, which is unfair.
He has consistently been the only bright spot in our games, and seems to be the only player that actually makes something happen. Our game plan is basically get the ball to Martial and hope he does the rest. It's a testament to his quality and impact this season, but it's also hindering the player himself. He cannot and shouldn't be the only attacking outlet.
I think it's true, she changed her instagram handle from samantha_martial to samantha_helena.The rumour is apparently false.
Think he's been average lately. Quite wasteful, overdribbles too often. It's clear he feels like he has to carry the team. Admittedly that has been the case quite a few times but nonetheless, with Rooney coming back, maybe he could do with a couple of games on the bench just to wake him up a bit.Doesn't quite look right tonight to me. Is it just me? It's strange.
It was frustrating wasn't it. Whenever he gets the ball he is usally marked by two, but during the few occasions he has acres of space Herrera fecks up a simple pass, Lingard doesn't look up and passes to Rashford who was running in a far worse shooting angle and Fellaini does the same as Lingard not much later.I think he might have scored today if he'd gotten a pass on a couple of counters. Good positioning at LW on those, but the reverse ball wasn't played.
How many players in the world would you swap him for, considering his age?
I think he'd be #3 on my value list behind Neymar (24 and damn near a goal a game from LW, also carries Brazil) and Messi (28 but I think he'll be a brilliant CM/10 once he's 32-33 and can't play wide anymore) and just ahead of Pogba (similar, but far more potential than Koke, though he's also filled with Gallic ennui which might concern me), Verratti (can play as a 6 or as an 8, has 10+ years left and is incredible) and Koke (24, so maybe 9-10 more years of top CM play). De Bruyne loses points for being a 10 (have to build around him to get the best out of him and can't really play a normal 4-3-3, whereas the first 4 names fit any formation perfectly) and Alaba loses points since fullbacks are sometimes cheap enough that you might be able to replace 80% of what he gives you a bit easier. But he's got 10 years of greatness left too.
I think that's the first tier when you look at age + production, unless I'm missing someone. Seems wrong to have no Germans named.
I'm just happy we seem to have a wide goalscorer again. Haven't since Ronaldo left. Arsenal went damn near 10 trophyless years without one between Pires getting old and Sanchez arriving. Spurs haven't had one in the history of the Prem.It was frustrating wasn't it.

Considering that he never had a pre-season with us, his age, being in a new country and the shit that he has played alongside in addition to, as you say, a deranged manager who shifted him around he has done very well.21 goals/assists in his first season where he's had to carry the attack, in 42 appearances.
Great first season. Under a better manager next year he could close to double that I think.
I'd love to, but you just can't not play him. He takes two defenders or at least a defender and a winger tracking back out the game! You can't say the same about Depay who would replace him!Should rest him a bit. He's played a lot.
He's been average this season according to some.Considering that he never had a pre-season with us, his age, being in a new country and the shit that he has played alongside in addition to, as you say, a deranged manager who shifted him around he has done very well.
He has been, what he has done this season is half of what he is able to do.He's been average this season according to some.
I don't think hes been average tbh, I think he has just not had the support around him. Its obvious he has a lot more in his locker thoughHe has been, what he has done this season is half of what he is able to do.
