Enjoyed watching that thanks. No doubting his natural talent but unfortunately injuries ruined him. Now he’d be a star in walking football
Martial exit?
- Thread starter Giggsyking
- Start date
I will be glad when he leaves, but of course people sometimes go too far and disrespect how talented he was. He was way more talented than Rashford ever was.
Not even close.
Same timeframe at the club and maybe but currently, it’s not a debate.
Martial is exactly as his song describes…….
‘Fifty million down the drain…………………’
What a waste
Would be a shame if he left just before being eligible for his Old Trafford testimonial.
Martial did more in his first season than Sancho has done throughout his stint with us and Sancho costs more and is on bigger money.
Martial is unmotivated ever since he got injured, but people keep forgetting that for his first 2 seasons here, he was probably the only player that was actually worth watching for us.
C'ept because it's down the drain he won't cost 50m, unless we think he's winning the Ballon D'or ?
Brilliant post.
Time yet
Martial played a lot as a left winger. LVG played him there, Mourinho played him (or Rashford) as a left winger. Martial really only became the main striker for Ole and that is when he started to score more goals. Martial also provided more than just goals. He improved the general play and provided assists. He was also still a young player when he wasnt ravaged by injuries. He should now be entering his prime years as a player.
It is a shame your dislike for Martial makes it impossible for you to see that he, once upon a time, was a huge talent who was showing that talent and was developing to becoming a great player. That journey towards becoming a great player stopped with the injuries. Now he just looks a shell of himself and really shouldnt be a Manchester United player anymore.
Sad how it's gone but a symptom of modern United to that he is still there, had one good season under LVG and under Ole if I remember correctly
Otherwise been disappointing
Will always remember the debut goal against Liverpool but it's time to leave (actually been time for a long time)
Would never have lasted this long in other clubs we are supposedly comparing ourselves with and trying to compete with

Yep, brilliant debut season for a 20 year old under LVG, then one and a half good seasons under Ole, probably the best of his career. The problem is that he would pick up injuries just as he hits form, and then his confidence would plummet when managers brought in competition (Zlatan, Cavani, Ronaldo) and would look completely invisible when being rotated or come off the bench. Lots of potential and what-if, but ultimately it was never going to work out with us.
I don't hate Martial, but I am also not willing to make up excuses for a player who has consistently underperformed across the majority of his career, not a big fan of stats for stats sake but some times the facts are just there.
As for playing as a winger I would argue that Martials best periods have come when he was playing left wing or at least rotating CF/LW
He has skill and speed but ultimately is lazy and too lightweight to maintain success especially in the physically demanding Premier League

Train alone, getting the Sancho treatment.
Deservedly imo

Good. The bad attitude clearout continues.
But apparently this is not due to disciplanary reasons. He is in such bad form after his sickness that he is not able to follow with the rest of the team. If true, then no big drama in him training alone.... Just hope he is gone come summer
Proper order. Other players who were sick have come back, no doubt we'll hear plenty of excuses for Martial.
Looks like ETH is trying to force him out and I'm not opposed to that at all
The lighter schedule is probably playing a part as well.
Squad is bloated with a mediocrity.

We should just terminate his contract tbh, waster.
I genuinely think he has a worse injury record than Owen at this point.
Poor guy
One less problem to worry about.
Martial can do his fitness recovery away from the squad and move on in the summer when his contract ends.
EtH doesn't need to answer questions about him every week.

Stick a fork in him, he’s done. What a sad way to go out
We need a striker to support Razzmatazz.
So that'll take us up to, what? April? Guessing he's kicked his last ball for Utd because I don't see him getting back into the squad after then considering he'll be out the door in the summer and we'll be playing a standard PL schedule.
Sad to see it work out this way, but the one positive is there'll be no more false dawns for people to cling to.

This is the end.
Goodbye Martial FC.
Goodbye Martial FC.
Hallelujah.
It's not even close in that Martial was 10 times better for us than Sancho.
I'm not defending Martial. He's been a huge disappointment this past few years and I've wanted him gone for quite a while. However, he was extremely talented at his best and overall, a decent player for us in his first 5 seasons. A lot better than the likes of Sancho, Sanchez, Mkhitaryan, VDB, Depay, Antony etc.
You can't...
I'm going to glibly say that the reduction in insurance premiums and medical fees will surely pay for his replacement. Right?
Agreed, this just ends up being sad because of the talent he had. He still has some iconic moments with us and his injury prone nature gave Rashford his chance
. I hope he can find a club to stay fit at, he's still got bags of ability.He has less mobility than Weghorst, he's not succeeding anywhere other than futsal.
Maybe, we'll always have that goal in the FA Cup Semi...
I find these types of comments just so extremely stupid.
So we either terminate the contract which means we pay up the full contract and Martial can go wherever he wants. Or we just keep him, still have to pay but he could, in the best case, potentially score an important goal. Worst case we help Martial recover from his injury which wont make the club look bad for 'firing an injured player' while other clubs sometimes even allow out of contract but injured players to use their facilities to recover.
Even if he just fills up numbers in training he does something usefull. The money is gone anyway. Atleast let him do something for the money.
Should Phil Jones his contract have been terminated? Or you just dislike Martial because you read for years that he is shit, lazy, doesnt run and doesnt smile?
There is literally nothing to gain from terminating his contract, so why do it?
There is if the player in question wants to move their career on and actually play football.
If crocks like Jones or Martial cared about more than just earning money they could have reached a settlement to end their contracts early and try and get back to regular football somewhere else.
Its even more stupid for a crock to agree with termination. Chances are that they would just be injured for less money somewhere else.
The whole termination idea is just ridiculous and one of the most stupid and unrealistic things i read on this forum.
