Mourinho did us a huge disservice by failing to develop/holding Martial back in the manner that he did.

Well done to the kid. He's having a smashing season despite our troubles. Good performance today. I don't feel he can dribble more.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

He's that player. When he's on it, he's special.

Cut in quite a bit today and got involved in a lot of interplay, but when he needed to keep the width he did, and was a massive threat doing so.

Fantastic goal from him.

Happy to say I am a poster who has always advocated for Martial and Pogba. Clear as days they are our most talented players. Stick them in Citys team and they are world beaters. We just need to get to that level and we will be laughing.

 

[Jeffthered]

I don't know how to explain it but he has just that extra bit of ..class compared to rest of our attackers.

Quality performance from him.

I can't see that. Not at all. He scored a super goal, created by a few players including himself.

Did he create a chance for a team mate today?

I like Martial. But I don't understand this infatuation some have with him.

Rashford was superb today.

 

[Art]

The chemistry between Pogba, Martial, Rashford and Jesse is quite sumptuous

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

He’s a better player than 15/16.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Absolute sex today.

His close control and dribbling is so good.

And that finish

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Don't know where we'd be without his goals this season, he probably saved Jose's neck for a good couple months.

 

[royboy16]

He should be our focal point in attack. Deadly.

Well he's our top scorer.

Two for Rashford if I remember correctly

Plenty. Created five chances. Next highest by a teammate was two.

I will forever be thankful to Ed for putting his feet down.

Come on. He was excellent today.

 

[Adisa]

I would pay him the 200k a week he wants. Losing him would be such a blow.

 

[shamans]

The guy is a center forward though and so is Radford. Both amazing but I think one has to sacrifice for the other

 

[Siorac]

We really wasted two and a half years of his career, basically.

The club should do everything humanly possible to convince him to sign that contract.

It's hard to understand what others see when you are blind.
The man created 5 chances, are you even watching the game?

Brilliant player when given freedom. In him and Pogba we have the basis of our next great team. Need to hold on to both

 

[forevrared]

Imagine all the cnuts on here goading the 'Martial FC' crowd in defense of Mourinho. Keeping hold of him may be Woodward's greatest accomplishment if he signs a new deal.

 

[AR87]

They've had some of their best periods playing alongside each other and seems that they genuinely enjoy the opportunity to do so.

 

[shamans]

Right but I think rashford + proper wingers or martial + proper wingers is a much better combo than one of them on the wing.

I just think martial is amazing in the final third centrally and dribbling closely. Out wide he can only do so much and same for rashford

 

[King.of.Red]

Amazing, top performance. Hopefully one day, I can see him as ballon d'or winner.

 

[RooneyLegend]

How does that swap for Willian look?

 

[Nep77]

I would dearly Love him to play through middle on front two being a SS with a freedom to drop deep and link the play up. His dribbling still isn't at the level when he first arrived at club, Hopefully it will come back with the shackle being off after so long. Brilliant Goal and wonderful game.

 

[DRM]

The best bit about today's performance was that he wasn't just stuck on the left, I saw him pop up in the middle, coming deep, heck he was even on the right a few times. In fact all the front players were just so fluid and dynamic. Far cry from Jose's static football.

 

[Majima]

Martial is an absolute diamond. Easily our best attacker. When given a consistent run, his goals/assists per minutes stats have always been up there with the very best in the league.

Just give him all the assurances he wants and get him signed up!!!

Can't wait to see what he can do under someone who fully believes in him.

 

[el3mel]

He can very well be up to his best season here in numbers. 9 goals by Jan, he'll easily break the 20 goals record if he keeps this consistency imo.

 

[Siorac]

How does that swap for Willian look?

That looked absolutely stupid even in the summer, let alone now.

 

[Eric's Seagull]

Mourinho did us a huge disservice by failing to develop/holding Martial back in the manner that he did.

Totally agree with this. Always liked the guy. Glad to see him producing the goods.

 

[Sayros]

This is officially the beginning of Martial's second season at United where he was allowed to be an attacking player with freedom and no fear of making mistakes. It's going to be exciting to see how he kicks on from there.

 

[R'hllor]

All that wasted on the bench since January geez. Still cant believe the things have been said during summer about him here.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

That touch he took just before the finish. So good. Just enough to bring the keeper out.

Class.


Why did he go back to the bench under Jose after scoring 6 in 7 on something. I don't know what he had to do to prove to him he was a good player.

 

[Nanotron]

Imagine all the cnuts on here goading the 'Martial FC' crowd in defense of Mourinho. Keeping hold of him may be Woodward's greatest accomplishment if he signs a new deal.

And to think he could have been swapped for Perisic. Woodword done well there.

 

[0le]

People who are saying he wasted two years should not forget that players can learn just as much, perhaps more, from "negative experiences" as well as positive ones.

These are questions simple peasants like you and I cannot comprehend, but the Special One and his sheeps know.

He got injured didn't he?

Superb goal, he actually looks like he cares and that is a dangerous Tony Martial. Contract year Tony is best Tony.

I wouldn't.

The two of them were exceptional today with their link-up play.
