Yup, obviously knew he’d be fit but didn’t know he was so hench!
He’s a professional athlete. He plays football for a living and has no other job. He gets expert nutritional advice and works with some of the finest S&C coaches in the land. He bloody well should be hench. It’s the footballers who aren’t ripped that I find much more surprising.

I am cautiously hopeful that Sancho and VdB will perform well this season.
with Frenkie coming and the style of football Ten Hag likes to play, I can only imagine that those two will be having a good season.

I actually think ETH will love Martial and manage to get his head sorted. Anybody else?

Nope...!!! He will be sold/loaned by August
Not sure we can unless we get another striker in! We literally only have Ronaldo.

We saw under Ole a motivated/hungry Martial is capable of scoring goals, and I think his play style would actually fit more than Ronaldo (needs to work harder off the ball though)

It's two years later and he had a lot of injuries and lost his finishing ability during that period which was his best quality.

I'm afraid he's a lost cause.

Probably, but if he can get Haller being the CL record group stage goalscorer, never say never!
