His last good season was the year before Cavani arrived.
His is a strange case. He looked like the future but after a superb first season he was benched by Mourinho and stripped of the number 9 in favour of an aging Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a clear case of short term thinking.
To be honest, he's never really recovered that first season promise apart from glimpses under Ole. Hopefully we handle Hojlund's future with more care.

His best season was comfortably 19/20. 17 PL goals and really glued that attack together with his hold up play. Shame injuries prevented him from kicking on.
I mean that's not really true though, his best season was 19/20 where I thought he was the best striker in the league in that period. It was the following season with a rough start (for everyone in the squad tbh given 0 layoff time) and then injuries where it all went to shit.
People need to go back and watch that season and specifically him. He was comfortably my POTY even though I think fans voted Bruno.
He was mine too and the players' POTY as well. That season confirmed his Benzema-level potential for me, such a shame how things have gone since. He was a joy to behold, knitting most of our attack together and still chipping in with a fair amount of goals himself, many of them worldies as it tends to be with him. Even more impressive was how he was able to keep the harmony and make a sensible attacking unit with two agonizingly selfish ball hogs in Rashford and Greenwood, with the trigger-happy Bruno behind them.
He hasn't had the career any of us hoped he would have but he's had the highest peak of any of our attackers over the last nearly decade in my opinion.
Yeah I think him and pre- back injury Rashford that 19/20 season is the other shout. Post back injury sapped his explosiveness for me and turned him into a much different player.
I think we'll see him vs Arsenal.
Dont want to ever see him again
Take me back to the day he debuted and scored against Liverpool and start everything all over.
And here was me thinking things couldn't get any worse.
I doubt he’ll want to play for us again.
Hes not going to want to risk getting injured and finding a club in the summer.

Make him play against Arsenal and Newcastle. It will be a nice capstone to a travesty of a career at Old Trafford, Theater of the Absurd.
People already forget a few years ago we raved the long lasting trinity, rashford, martial, greenwood. The team scored so many beautiful goals then.
One of the few bright spots post Sir Alex. In a sea of boredom and terrible football, he produced more exciting moments than probably anyone. For me, anyway. That's why I will always have fond memories of his time here despite everything.
Really? Frustration is mine.
23,22,17.
Frustration definitely has its place, yeah. Things have been that bad that I can just appreciate a player who could produce some of the magic he did despite the bad moments, though.
As Sir Matt Busby said, he felt it was their duty to entertain the fans. That's what we built the club on. This past decade, never mind just being poor, our football has been some of the most boring sludge out there, so someone who could produce the entertainment Martial did at his best will be remembered fondly by me at least.

He is a player where his top level was exquisite but his bottom level has absolute dire.
Will be sold in the summer. Pity about his injuries. A fit and on form Martial would be an asset to any top team.
I know I must be wrong but I can’t shake the feeling he’ll blag his way into staying
He’ll come back for Brighton and city, score a couple and then United will do what they’ve done every June for 5 years and fool themselves into thinking he could stay as cover

And live through the past 8 years? No way.
That would be typical of us. But can't see it happening. He will be the first ones out as his contract expires.
He's out of contract isn't he? Won't be getting a fee for him, but will save a bundle on wages.
Forgot this guy played for us. Another waste of talent. Looked the real deal when we first signed him.
Sold?
It's a bit sad really. Obviously he's not had the mentality, but probably not the leadership either and one of the players who's career has not been helped by the carousel of managers. Ten Hag would have been a good manager for him earlier in his career. He's clearly done now. I'd be fascinated to see where he goes from here.
Al Nassr or Al Habibi.
The fast paced game from there will result in him getting injured and he gets a nice salary for doing nothing.
Turkey seems an option too. Personally im hoping he will join Betis in Spain. Isco failed at Seville and now does well at Betis. Martial in a team with Fekir and Isco sounds like fun football to me. Ofcourse Martial would have to pass a medical for them though... that could be tricky
Probably futile but I keep hoping against all logic that he's got one more fantastic Untied goal left in him, off the bench in the cup final to steal it for us. One last rendition of his song.
A man can dream I suppose.....

ETH is a terrible choice for manager for him. He's breaking every 2/3 players at the club. He's an injury prone players worst nightmare
Can't wait until he's gone!
People still riding his back is just disturbing to me.
Prime example that talent doesn't mean much, but attitude does!
A lazy, spoiled and desinterested big child, who had all the talent in the world to become a player of Henry's stature, but his head wasn't right.
I'm so sick and tired of all those players we've had over the years that fit into his mould, the Pogbas, Lingards, Martials, Rashfords, Sanchos etc.

Completely agree but this wasn't concidence. One senior/star player and gets away with it and all the others see that they can do it too.
I think the one that really set the wheels in motion of the above was Pogba. So many times him or his agent insulted the club and we still bent over backwards to accomodate him - allow him to manage his own recovery whilst being seen in clubs, galas, playing basketball etc.
Unfortunately once this rot has set in it's very difficult to get rid of short of a root and branch cull of those infected.
Here's hoping - the thing that would upset me most i think is our three players we want to build around catching this attitude (M,G,H)
Such a shame to see the way he ended up after promising so much but that can be football I am afraid.
ETH didnt get the chance to break Martial. Ole beat him to that
You know what I meant.
What kind of statement is that ? Is he fit or not ?
If he can't play a game without injury then he's crock that doesn't deserve another club
