It's important not to get carried away. But he is easily the best young player in the world right now.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Presumably his contract already runs through to June which, with Maureen supposedly on the way, seems about long enough.
Who'd have thought an injury to Martial could be in any way positive.
Well done lad!
Interesting performance. I thought at times he drifted wide unnecessarily, giving us no option in the middle. Of course, he was in the right place to finish both chances. Liked the way he stole possession a couple of times. Also showed good pace at times and some creativity with his back-heels. Dream debut really.
He used to play Varane, didn't he?
Two nice finishes. Great to see.
Rashford, Wilson, Martial and Depay, at least one of them should turn out ok for us long term... please...
200% agreed.
What a debut. His all round play was good as well. I hope the notion that the system stifles centre forwards dies with that performance.
as you like. Him & Martial...the future.Spot on.
So all we need to do is convince Maureen that agreeing to his 10m euro signing was part of the small print of his contract.
What a debut! Two classic center forward goals and he showed good movement off the ball all game, constantly getting in good positions in the box, plus he looks decent on the ball as well. amazing to think he wasn't MOTM.

Indeed, the way he lost the CB for his missed header (wish he'd scored) was excellent. Reminded me of Chicharito
Delighted for him.
If we can get Depay playing like he did today and Januzaj playing like he did under moyes we would have quite a formidabke AND YOUNG front 4

He's like a young Martial
Even Messi didn't score two goals on debut.
Van Gaal taking credit again 
Is this kid rated highly? Whats his chances of making it properly here?

If anything you're playing it down.
THATS how it's done Wayne
I was going to say the greatest human but I didn't want him getting big headed.
The only one that moved when Mata kept the ball alive. Movement of a true striker / poacher that wants goals. Was happy with that.
Wilson scored 2 against Hull in his debut.
I like his acceleration when closing players down. He won the ball back several times, could come in handy if he plays against Arsenal.
This.
After martial absence, the easier move was to place Depay at no9 and replace him with Perreier. But LVG stuck to his principles and it was a brilliant decision
No..
at this rate, it'll only be another 122 games until he catches up to Rooney.
Was in the right place for a centre forward hence his 2 goals. At his age, that shows great instinct. Likewise though both goals were easy finishes, fact remains he was a bully boy with his confident smashes. Also looked strong when shoulder to shoulder and can also run with the ball with pace.
If Martial is injured for Arsenal, he starts!!!! Ironic if he does and Welbeck does not for Arsenal

Ironic if he does and Welbeck does not for ArsenalFairly highly, my take is he's a player that we may have to wait to fully develop physically, he's got the frame to be an absolute monster.
Wilson's the better striker.
People were gushing over Wilson after the Hull game as well.. Too soon to build up Rahsford or write off Wilson. Wilson will turn out the better striker imo
Marcus Smashford more like... AmIright! OI OI!
Hero.
