Who would you keep: Rashford or Martial?

Martial is a better player and has more potential IMO. We also spent a lot of money on him. I'd definitely keep him.

Why exactly do people keep mentioning Martial and the potential to win the Ballon D'or? That's a crazy shout at this stage.

Rashford. I've accepted a lot of shit in the modern game, but if we let him go I'd be pretty devestated. Which we wont, so let's not be mad.

I do wonder, though, on a shitter level, what a thread would have been like in the summer for say "who would you keep, Lingard or Memphis."

Martial seems to become better the longer he doesn't play.
He played two games ago and he showed in his last three starts that there's nothing wrong with his "mentality on the pitch" as someone else said.

Gifs of some of the moments (since the 31st December, less than a month ago):


As for the question I wouldn't like to see either sold but Rashford will be at the club longer.

What is it with the constant stream of shitty 'Underrated/Overrated', 'is he a great?' comparison threads now a days?

This thread is particularly shite as both are young and both still play for us.

Neither, can we stop it with these stupid bloody questions. What next? De Gea or Pogba?

Keep Lingard as you can see he actually wants to make it and tries hard, also doesn't disappear in big games

Didn't you say Hazard was the 3rd best player you've seen in the Premier League? I think you can reserve your right to judge.

What does that have to do with this forum underrating Rashford?

Martial.
Think Rashford is overrated.
Good talent, but not much more. For now.

If I were manager of united...oh what a dream.. I would make a lot of significant changes because I know I won’t last long. First match in charge would drop some acid, announce that we will send Rashford to Westham for free, play Zlatan in goal, make Harrera assistant coach and paly de gea on the wings.

About the question. Martial definately, I dont even know how its a contest.

Rashford is as likely to leave for Everton or some such as martial is to leave for one of the big guns.

Sell both and promote Lingard to false nine..

This is hard, as let's face it martial is the better player. I think that Rashford will never be a consistent first team starter (unfortunately) and may even find himself turning out for a top 6 side like Everton in a couple of seasons. I hope this isn't the case because it would be great to see the lad knocking in goals for us for a long time. Martial, also doesn't strike me as Real/Barca player I think if he gets back to being consistent then he'all be here for a long time

Stupid post. Lingard is also a local lad. Does that mean we should hypothetically keep him ahead of a more talented player?

There is no room for sentiment in football and if Martial is the better player, there is no reason to pick Rashford.

Well, there is a reason for Depays departure and that Jesse got an extension on his contract. I dont think that reason is abillity. if the abillities of the players are close always choose for the local lad because in the end he will give something extra. If Jose had to make the decision im sure he chooses Rash as well.

Martial, easily. No doubt Rashford is a good player but Martial has world class talent imo.

both are still young and playing out of position. Cannot blame either until given a fair shot. Should keep both. No discussion.

Your post was blatantly implying Martial is overrated though, as opposed to Rashford being underrated.
He is slightly overrated on here. Great talent but you'd think he was the second coming of Henry reading this board.

I think Rashford is going to be a nightmare forward in a couple of years because his all-round game is better than Martial's. His movement is fantastic, his lightning quick & he can shoot with either foot on the dribble.

Just sell both, what for wasting time waiting for 2 U20 to come good? Just sell both and buy those ready made players, this is Jose's way.

Currently ability: Martial by a mile. Rashford is too raw when played wide, only hyped because he's english.
Potential ability: Anybody's guess.

In the end a manager would be stupid to sell either. Too bad Mourinho insists on playing the likes of Lingard and Rooney. Would be neat to see what these two could do if they are developed properly.
