Please Martial score a goal, want him to keep starting. Would be great attack if Rashford, Martial and Lukaku form an understanding.

Jose's been waiting for Zlatan to be back before he can start all 3 of them. We're fecked if we have nobody to bring on when all 3 are already playing and we finally have someone who's ready for that role.

Very good point. Hope even if they all have a bad game, he tries this for a couple of more games. They need to have an understanding.

Difference in ability between him and Rashford is very evident with them both playing.

Didnt have to wait for a 2nd half sub for that equaliser. Here's why you play both your game changers from the start.

This. Not doing it up to know has been baffling. Hopefully the penny has finally dropped

Why does he never take his man on the outside? Always comes inside and loses it.

Been awful up to now.
You people are just quick to criticise without much waiting to see how the game unfold.

He's not a fecking touchline winger. Get him in and around the box and he's different class.

I thought he was more aggressive in that half than normal, challenging defenders a couple of times when the ball was loose. Good to see, he's solidly built enough.

Playing well. Were they both playing on the same side for a while? Not seen Rashford switch to the right but seen Martial on the left

Really? I geninely rate Rashford over Martial.
Rashford was on the left so many times in the first half, made an impact that side too!

Exactly - he likes to always take his man on - if he is on the wing; the space is always inside & he becomes insanely easy to read. At least play him as a wider support striker if needs be but not as a winger.

Yes, comfortably. On and off the ball.

I really believe he'd outscore all our forwards if he was played centrally.
Rashford is definitely faster than Martial; they've said so in interviews.

Fosu Mensah is probably the fastest of them all.

Why does he always position himself there then? Rashford doesn't do it so we can't pretend it's because Mourinho demands it.

His natural talent is greater than Rashford. Rashford being a local lad clouds our judgement a bit.

It is evident for anyone watching them.

Looking over my shoulder.

They are also being modest. Valencia said Rooney was fastest when Valencia was at his peak, and Rooney said he would take Valencia’s speed as the attribute to get.

Both are fast. Martial has better close control. A race would be fun:)

This. Might not have them both playing well at the same time, but you have them on the pitch to change when needed

He's a Wing Forward, not a Winger. But the oddity is that every time he played on the left, he just sticked hiimself at the flank and received the ball at a very deep position.

Very good today again. A few moments of inconsistency but that's to be expected, but a threat throughout, got a goal, and just good to watch. Should be the left winger pretty much whenever fit.

People can now see why Mourinho didn't want to play Rashford on the right?
