Martial is 27 and it's best time of career to play regularly. Meanwhile this season, Sancho despite personal problems & Garnacho youngster clocked more minutes than him and the gap could extend over next weeks.
Lad will revive himself this season or in next campaign chaps like Pellistri or Amad could get more time on the pitch than him. One thing I noticed, is Erik saying we have to be patient when speaking week ago to the media. Perhaps there's a good chance of something great to happen.
2nd leg vs Barca at OT next week or final vs Newcastle near the end of the month would be perfect if he can make it. If not then we have to assume we can't rely that much on our main number 9 in key moments. All we have is a stop gap Wout and that's it... Even football machine like Rashford could sometimes use a rest in between scoring and taking all responsibility in attack.
Not gonna shit on Ole, but instead of giving Martial some good rival for place in the squad who also provide vital emergency option, he flooded squad with whole brigade of retire home residents.
If some sheikh won't go bankrupt, trying to fix our striker department, that will be a lucky start.
