I hope Lukaku is not allowed to just walk back into the team in his current poor form...
We look more fluid and unpredictable without him. I'd try him on the right for a while (if he earns it) and leave Sanchez up top see how that works - its not like anyone else has nailed that spot down..

Yup, his all round game was fecking fantastic. As good as I've seen him play that even if he wasn't on the score sheet
Calls for a @Kevin callout post. The amount of people who questioned Martial was baffling. At least José's stopped wasting him.
Too many as "Martial FC" said at the time.
Top tier talent. Jaybomb must be rolling in his e-grave.

I hope all the people who doubted him and argued he wouldn’t be a loss and Rashford was the better talent realise their awful mistake by now.
Unfortunately I can't see him signing a new contract at the moment. All the leverage is in his hands, and better clubs will be knocking on the door this summer.
He was fouled constantly, whenever he got the ball. I cannot believe the red didn't notice this.
Couldn't agree more.
Sign the ting.
Brilliant tonight. Shame the one-two with Fellaini didn’t come off just before the Mata free-kick as that would have been some goal.
£50 million down the drain 
There was one occasion where he played a series of 1-2 and drive into the box but Fellaini fecked up the final lay off. God knows if he could have scored.
He was pretty awful for 80 minutes but took them apart in the end. Just finding a way to impact every game right now and Jose is persisting with him.
Would have been the first player subbed a month ago.

He was quality in that final 20 minutes. He tormented them and I thought his threat pinned them back for us get back into the game.
He's doing so well at the moment.

I fear so too. There was that RMC article a week or two back saying he wants to renew with or without Mourinho but nothing since.
Best United player tonighr
Please gif of when he ended Cuadrado? @GifLord

The better he plays with a running down contract the stronger position he's in. We had to get a renewal this summer, but unfortunately the way things went down last season and his lack of game time effectively costing him a World Cup medal probably ruled that out.
This summer both Madrid & Barcelona will probably be in for a LW.

Brilliant tonight. Worked hard off the ball too.
Have to tie him down to a new contract. ASAP.

Only seen the second half, good performance and looked very sharp.
Nice little passes and bursts moving centrally and strong, diligent defending throughout, but I kept on willing him to stretch the play more and have a direct run at the full back, and willing Shaw and co. to fire the ball out to him early to allow that. De Sciglio looked strong but I can’t remember Martial isolated and running at him. The first time he ran at a defender in an advanced wide position he completely rinsed Cuadrado.
Barzagli coming on changed the game, Martial seized his opportunity and made a big impact on the latter stages. Which is a great sign as his conditioning has been relatively poor for what has been a long time now, so it’s great to still see that sharpness and power in his legs after 80 minutes.

For most of the game he was working a lot more defensively. I'm not so sure he would have been the first played subbed a month ago based on that compared to the others.
Fantastic the entire game. Juve wasn't going to allow him 1v1 situations and constantly looked to get him off the ball, but all other facets of his game were on display. Crisp passing, taking up more central positions to build up, and outstanding defensively. Then he created two great chances at the end.
Why? He’s clearly stepped his game up which was, rightly, expected of him.
He’s listened, he’s learned and he’s improving his overall contribution.
Those saying Martial was awful before the last 15 minutes must have been watching something else or it's just the usual hyperbole on the caf where if Martial doesn't skin someone or score it equals to being awful.
Prior to that he had played well defensively and protected his side. He tried to set up a few attacks and was always the likely player to make something happen. Awful means playing badly, Martial was doing alright prior to him exploding in the last 15 minutes.

Listened to who? You lots who were claiming that he's shit and overrated? Called him a lazy sulker coupled with a bunch of expletives.
Just eat your crows and move on.
New contract for him as soon as possible.
Must start every game.

Who lots? What the feck are you talking about.
This a thousand times
Exactly what would have happened vs Newcastle I believe as Jose was about to hook him off again but bless Rashford for having a stinker that day
Come to think of it, if Jose had hooked martial in that game then we would have lost and this mini-resurgence never would have happened.. fine margins indeed
Outside of Mata's freekick he had our only 3 good pieces of attacking play, one decent effort, created a chance for Rashford and had a run that flashed a decent ball across their 6 yard area.
Sign the fecking contract Martial, it's the only reason I'd ever consider not wanting you here. If want to be here and give your all you're always welcome by me.
Martial FC
Awful is clearly hyperbole, but no more so than the assertions that he was brilliant or fantastic the entire game. He mucked in and worked hard – to his credit – but I don't think he worked hard enough to get himself on the ball and drive us up the field. Not that he was helped by his teammates, but he's got the tools to drag the team with him.
But, still, that feels a bit nitpicky. The take home is that he's shown a resilience to get his head down, win his manager's trust and get himself back in the squad which many (myself included) doubted he had. He's proving those who stuck with him right, and long may it continue.
That Newcastle game probably gives you an idea..
Yeah. That game without Martial we lose 0-2.
We weren't going anywhere in that game either then suddenly Martial won us the free kick that Matt buried and then equalised minutes later.
It's those moments of brilliance and quality you need when your team is stale. You need that someone with the ability to change the complexity of the game out of nowhere bc they have abundance of skills.
3 good pieces of play that led to 1 goal, another that should have been a goal and a third that could have been a goal.
If he does that every game we will win most games.
Also created a chance for rashford long range effort..
