He is either out of game shape or has lost a step. Maybe he will contribute post January.

Should have been sold after that shite loan spell at Sevilla.

Looking over my shoulder.
Remember the jokes about signing Welbeck on a free a couple of years ago? Martial doing his best to be much worse.

Is he incapable of running these days?

Empty shirt and should’ve been out the door years ago. I’d put in more effort. Even for the 2 minutes my fitness would allow

What on earth happened when he was 1 on 1 with the keeper and he just decided to run past the ball and let the keeper collect it :lol:

Pretty anonymous, but we're a better team with him in the middle and Rashford on the left. Hopefully, we'll be even better when Hojlund steps in for him.

You guys are ridiculous.
Martial is not it but he barely has any football in legs.

He runs like he thinks he's about to do his hamstring, which you can't really blame him for, honestly.

That situation in the second half where he was played through and for some reason just waited for their keeper to come out and claim it… what is going on?

First game back in ages. Give the lad a fecking break. He’s been ripped to bits because of his fitness record. And clearly he’s being replaced by Hojlund. But any player coming back off a long lay off is going to look rusty.
The problem is, by the time he actually gets back into full match fitness he will be injured again. Like PP6, Martial quite simply no longer has the fitness levels or the physical body to play at the top level. It’s a damn shame.

Some very harsch ratings here that seems to be based on previous years.
Looking at today's game only he provided a link-up we haven't been close to seeing the previous two games.

That said, looked like Casemiro or Eriksen in his first cameos, rusty and cumbersome at times.

Not a CF material he pretends himself to be. That Rashford's cross was sublime. How on earth he didn't read that! Could have been just a tap in for him if he had just 10% of the brain of a real CF.

Understand if people have based their opinion on last few seasons but based on this one, no pre season and first game back, unfair criticism

Utterly dreadful again but sadly that’s normal for him these days, I’ve never seen anyone look so bored playing in front of 70k + fans
Absolute nonsense. He wasn't good today but to say that's normal for him is totally incorrect. He's generally very good if and when he's fit to play (which is rare). Typically better than the rest of our attackers when he plays. It's his first start in forever and he didn't set the world alight but he still linked up the play and is far better than Rashford at CF even on his worst day. He was no worse at CF today than Rashford has been the past couple of games, yet he gets far more stick.

He has no pace or is completely out of sorts or has no match fitness. No sharpness. He has to go.

His body is broken. He doesn’t have agility anymore as it seems. It doesn’t seem he can get those back easily. Everything is wrong now.

Man comes back into the starting 11 barely days after returning from injury, no preseason whatsoever and yet Redcafe can't let an opportunity to slag him off pass. He isn't in the match today and neither Rashford, Bruno nor Antony are as good as they were as he was able to atleast not get lost in the build up like Rashford has been in our last two matches.

People still defending this guy. Was never a striker himself, looked miles off and you just know he will pull a muscle in training this week. This guy is completely shot to pieces, he runs like he thinks he will pull a hamstring, his positioning is absolutely awful due to the fact he can’t make a sprint. Him offering better link up play is frankly absurd as a way to back him.

Will that be the same Rashford with two assists today?

For his first real game back I thought he was decent in comparison to some of last seasons performances. Got 60 minutes under his belt so hopefully he can build from this along with Hojlund being ready soon too.

Can make excuses all you like for him. The reason he didn't figure in preseason was because he can't keep himself fit.

He didn't look fit today. Even during the few occasions in the past year he has been fit he looks disinterested. Never engaged - never looks like the sort of player in technical skill and motivation terms that we should be paying 250k/week for.

We are Man Utd. How have we ended up this low?

Martial is United’s version of Dean Sturridge.
If that isn’t obvious or damning enough then I don’t know what is

Should have been given 10-20 minutes in each of the first 2 games to bring his fitness levels up. Expecting him to come out at 100% after no pre season or game time in months is bordering on insane.

He did a body feint to shake the defender, but either misjudged or forgot about the rushing keeper.
