Sounds like he's trying to deflect the blame to anyone but himself, as if defensive football was the reason he couldn't pass 5 yards or was tackled every time he tried running with it. Let's not forget his crossing or shooting either, never seen a player so consistently sky shots in the box for us.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I have both on ignore. Good life!Not as cringeworthy as what Borden and Santoryo are up to.
Yes, I'm watching closely
Can you provide evidence that it hasn't happened, in that case? I'm not of the opinion that Martial has been mistreated this season, though I do think he deserves to feature more often.
I do remember Mourinho citing vague intangibles about Martial 'needing to give him things he liked' last year, though, and these things magically appearing when it was beyond doubt that Martial had a good game. I think there are more parallels between de Bruyne and Shaw's situations than there is with Martial anyway, but there will be no way of proving that until he moves on.

feck, get well soon Mkhi.
well, in this life there is karma. that's why just shut the feck up and focus on your new club, Mkhi! Trying to blame my beloved United for your shit embarassing performances is truly pathetic.
Jeez man, he said some throwaway line about United and you think it's Karma that he got a serious knee injury? Seriously, who the feck even thinks like that?well, in this life there is karma. that's why just shut the feck up and focus on your new club, Mkhi! Trying to blame my beloved United for your shit embarassing performances is truly pathetic.
okay, it's too excessive from me.
and sorry man, I seriously hate this Mkhi after his latest comments about us.Sure, I'd say Mkhi was an unsuccessful signing and Jose has to take the blame for that. The argument more is if he's a better player than he showed here and if Jose is also at fault in that regard. Personally I'm not convinced from anything I've seen so far that he's a better player at Arsenal.
I would, but I never use the ignore function because I feel it would mess up the flow of the forum
If I trigger you so much you should definitely put me on ignore guy. The flow’ll be fine I’m sure.

The assumption is that a manager and player are on good terms because that is what is normal. When you make a claim that a player and manager have fallen out then you provide evidence for it.
Like you have said with Shaw, there is evidence that there is something wrong with the relationship. Because Mourinho has made comments about him that are bordering on unprofessional, has frozen him out of the squad, etc. The same can be said for Mkhitaryan who was also frozen out of the squad.
Martial is not treated like a player that the manager dislikes, he has started many important games and is trusted as a regular substitute.
"I think when you have some talents you cannot waste, I think when you are blessed with that talent, you have to exploit and not be happy with glimpses of talent and that I'm not going to change.
"I want more and more and more from him. He understands me better and the personal relation is good and I don't think it's fundamental, but it's an added good thing to have a good relation so again, Anthony, I hope he is going to be better this season than last."
"I think he understands me and to be honest I understand him because in the beginning of last season, if he understands me better, he would have started better, but if I understand him better, probably I would help him in a faster way than I did.
"We spent our time together, I know him well, he knows me well and the second part of the season was good for him and with his talent I believe his season will be even better."
The above passage says it all. The Manager believes there is a fantastic player waiting to be unleashed.
Sometimes it's necssary, otherwise the forum will be unbearable!

Yeah but I never said Mourinho has fallen out with Martial
So there is no agenda against Martial by the manager...so the reason why this conversation started is null and void. I'm glad we agree
So you've accepted you lied and nobody said Arsenal are the best attacking team in the league? That was a lengthy and unconventional apology, but since you're having so many problems I'll accept it anyway. I forgive you for lying and attention seeking.
Sad to see that; hopefully it’s not that bad. Has he ever had a big injury before? I can’t remember hearing about one.
What kind of reception will he get on Sunday? Would be hilarious if the crowd is totally indifferent, much like the time he spent at United.
Isn't he injured ?
Great. Looking forward to him putting his invisible performance against us.
You just know the fraud will turn up, just like Welbeck does every time he visits OT.
Mikhi is very weak mentally to pull something like that.
I don't think he's got the mentality to be proving a point. Not sure they'd start him though, given they've got that must-win game on Thursday and he's been out for a while. If this was the other way around, I'd want half the team rested.
That's a new sports injury for me, a "touched" ligament, right up there with a caressed ankle joint!
Kane is gonna claim he had the touch on it.
LOLKane is gonna claim he had the touch on it.
Wanted to say I actually quite respected him to some extent for not celebrating today. Completely opposite to what Welbeck did when he scored his first goal against us even though the latter is from our academy.
Most predictable goal ever. He took it well, though, wrong footed De Gea.
Yep, even though his stay with us was pretty short.
Today confirmed why we let him go though. He doesn't have much fight in him. Very easily bullied out of games. Goal aside, neither he nor Aubameyang did much. Perhaps it is a trend with BvB players as Kagawa was the same.
Meh, I'm not sure big fan of players not celebrating. Especially when they're only been at the prior club a short time.
Welbeck celebrating against us like a madman when he scored at the loss in Fa Cup was terrible to see and he showed zero respect for the club he started football in it. Some times showing respect is needed.
Nice to see this after the game! Spoilered because the pic is massive.
Good game for him. Nice bloke he is. However if people still think he is better than Sanchez, must be having a laugh.
He belongs at Arsenal. His style suits them better and he will rack up the goals and assists with Auba next season under a better manager. We too should have no regrets, Sanchez suits us much better.
Arsenal were his club, he got them through to the next round. I was probably annoyed at the time but honestly can't be mad now. He wasn't a United player.
I'm not mad any more now as well, but it was annoying at this time.
Sure. I think it may be a little different with Welbeck considering he came up through the youth team. But for players like Mkhitaryan, who weren't here a hot minute I don't care.
All the players loved him. Our fans always supported him. He didnt want to leave. He always tried his best. Just wrong player at the wrong time for us. He's moved on, we've moved on. Still really like him. Good to see his showed us respect when he scored.
This, fair play to Mkhitaryan.
