Obviously not a United player guys, sell him and get Perisic.
Rashford is the media's darling. And Rashford shouldn't be blamed for that, as he did have an explosive start to his career, but the fact of the matter is that the media cares a lot more when Rashford is doing well than when Martial is doing well.Yeah. I'm actually baffled how it hasn't been acknowledged by the media. I've only heard Gary Neville mention it, other than that it seems to go under the radar.
I've seen them set themselves up a lot this season. I bet they've got the most combined set up goals and assists between them in our team, which brings me to wondering why Mou hasn't tried to stick more with a front 2 of them or at least play Martial more centrally, meaning closer to Lukaku since he won't drop the latter and martial seems to elevate and combine well with Lukaku.
I like his technique when he just stands up the ball for Lukaku in the far post rather than the Mkhi/Rashford approach which is to cross as hard as possible usually aimlessly, preferably blind.He's an underrated crosser of the ball. He has a habit of actually crossing to a United player, a trade that is lost on most of our crossers.
Well put. We can see the logic behind all his attempts.Has a real, functioning brain and that's one of the differences between him and Rashford. The sink cross to Lukaku, when Lukaku was just offside, was so refreshing. Rashford gets into that position and absolutely leathers the ball. Martial picks out Lukaku on a real strength of his.
He's strong and quick, a good dribbler and a good finisher. The consistency is coming. He loves us and we love him!
I really like the look of the former, however I feel that it requires full backs who are more accomplished in an attacking sense, as that formation really requires the full backs to provide a lot of the width to the team.4312 or 3412 is the way to go imo. The former probably being better for Pogba.

I really don't mind that the English press are being supportive of Rashford. I'm also not bothered that they aren't trying to turn Martial's head about a move to Madrid or whatever. Rashford is the local boy who is 2nd choice for 2 positions in one of the better teams in world football, and I think that's what he'll stay if I'm honest.Martial is not selfish like Rashford. He also has much better dribbling and close control than Rashford. Defenders are scared of him. Rashford has speed and a very good shot but Martial has speed and a very good shot too. He is much more talented but the British Press would not give him the credit. It is the Rooney situation again where they all supported him even when he was shite for us.
How hard is it to spell the names of our players correctly? It’s Bailly, and Lindelof/Lindelöf for that matter4312 or 3412 is the way to go imo. The former probably being better for Pogba.

Yeah Neville's logic is idotic sometimes.What a pathetic point of view from Neville.
Martial is the better player and is worth £60m more, if we use Neville's basic view of comparison.
Interesting logic from someone who never had to cope with a transfer fee hanging around his neck. I suppose we should have expected more from Irwin since he cost £500,000!Tweet

...or buy Perisic and play Martial sparingly.Obviously not a United player guys, sell him and get Perisic.
Gary Neville has proven his bias towards English players for years. Don't think he criticised Rooney once despite him being on 300 grand a week and turning in awful performances week after week.Tweet

Ideally we should've signed Perisic as well as keeping Martial.Obviously not a United player guys, sell him and get Perisic.

Yeah, because he'd stick around for that long while being played sparingly....or buy Perisic and play Martial sparingly.
This way, Martial will develop AND we get to have a top quality LW in the team, who can cross the ball.
In 3 years when Perisic begins to fade, Martial will take over.
Yup, he's easily one of our most popular players. No surprise as he's our most exciting forward.The Old Trafford faithful and travelling fans certainly appreciate him. His song is typically the one bellowed the loudest on match days.
Exactly, even last season when he was struggling in games, the fans were significantly his song.The Old Trafford faithful and travelling fans certainly appreciate him. His song is typically the one bellowed the loudest on match days.
Not important, obviously, but I didn’t know we had paid all the add-ons. In which case, Martial has been a clear success. I’m getting really tired of the Neville brothers high pitched shrill voices.Tweet

Just getting sick of retired united players piping up with their fecking antagonistic opinions. Do they miss the limelight so much? Love Martial, feck this bs about his cost.Not important, obviously, but I didn’t know we had paid all the add-ons. In which case, Martial has been a clear success. I’m getting really tired of the Neville brothers high pitched shrill voices.
Daft idiot. Martial didn’t choose his fee, he should be allowed the same conditions to develop as any other young player at the club. I wonder if he used to give Ronaldo shit for costing £12m and Fletcher a free ride because he came through the academy?Tweet

I know, in that context it was money well spent, and Rashford would rightfully be happy with a place on the bench.So we paid £58m for him then? Wow, I must of slept through our Premier league and champions league win then. Oh, and congrats on the Balor d’or win Martial!!
I do love old Red Nev, but he can be a real numpty at times.I know, in that context it was money well spent, and Rashford would rightfully be happy with a place on the bench.
Wrong thread.On a side note I noticed this on his timeline

Hes literally acting like Chelseas PR office. Its ok, Chelsea clarrified it...
There's 3 add-ons at €10m a piece. We've paid one or two of them already. Not the one rumored to be contingent on Ballon d'Or shortlisting (not winning it) obviously.Not important, obviously, but I didn’t know we had paid all the add-ons.

Or just forget about flipping Perisic...! What we really need is a RW....or buy Perisic and play Martial sparingly.
