Now we see why there is comparisons with Henry
I could watch that goal all day, it's one of the best debut goals I've seen. Lets hope he will remain grounded and produce plenty more moments of sheer brilliance like that. I've not been that excited when we've scored since that RVP volley vs Villa which won us the league.
Sorry to be the party pooper again, but can we give this lad some reasonable expectation. Those making hyperbolic claims are no worse than those making sensationalist headlines or comment. He scored a great goal on his debut, but his career will not be defined by this moment. Let him enjoy his football and be known as Martial right now before putting so much expectation on him.
Looks like he has very good technique.
Hence the Henry resemblances. Henry was known for the fact that he was played of the left wing rather than a true strikers position.
Fantastic goal. We haven't seen a goal like that in a long while.
Quite a small detail but I loved how when Young had the ball he pointed exactly where he wanted it and his first thought was to attack Skrtel and tie him in knots. So so so refreshing to see a United striker fashion a chance for themselves and the finish wasn't half bad either, we see players all the time, especially young ones, blast it at the keeper or over the bar from that position.
Thought that hold up play vs Lovren was also a joy to watch, overall throughly impressed by that cameo. Like people have mentioned let's keep grounded but a brilliant debut nonetheless.

Memphis' first was pretty special as well.
This lad made my day, "It's Martial you know, hard to believe it's not Cole"
Lethal attack and finish. Direct, deliberate and at pace. I would love to see him or ked in just like that: late to exploit he space in teams chasing the game and run right at their defense.
Martial Manhunter of the Premier League
Not really. His technique is sublime. He seems to be more of a Henry and less to a Cole
Anyone know who passed it to Young for Martial's goal? I can't remember he sequence of events...
One thing I noticed in his highlights is that he is great at his age in terms of choosing what to do (drive at players, cross the ball, take a shot) and then making sure he does it. Didn't hesitate today after he started going at Skrtel, and kept his cool the whole time. Exciting start, can't wait for more. Once Memphis gets going, on the other wing, look out.
Schweinsteiger.
How did he do it? Just two weeks ago he was playing atop a car park for 5,000 fans.
I have it on good authority from threads in the football forum that he detests United but creams himself over Liverpool goals... and City goals... and Chelsea goals.
The ABU twat...
I'm positively giddy at the prospect of Martial and Wilson being our long term strike partnership. If both progress as expected, they will literally have everything!
Or, you know... loves football and is paid to provide commentary that helps you give a damn about it?
Being overly harsh, I think he got a bit lucky when the ball bounced between his feet, but the coolness of the finish was pure class.
Well yeah, that's basically my point...
Oh boy 
I keep watching the goal, man, it's fecking phenomenal. He made Skrtel his bitchThe pace, the timing, the dribbling, the composure. It's just perfect. The guy has nerves of steel!
+ the most important thing, he looked where Mignolet was positioned before shooting.
Just after watching the post match videos there and didn't notice the finish in detail until Henry gave his views on it. One thing that he mentioned which I was oblivious to was in the middle of the fast dribbling and in the blink of an eye after beating Skrtel he looks straight at the keeper and his movement before placing the ball without even looking where he was striking it.
That's the type of finishing brilliance of RVN or Henry. Lets hope he becomes as good as either of those greats.

He seems very mature. Unlike Sterling. I'm sure Pogba said something about his maturity. 19 and already a dad.
What's ABU?
Apart from the goal, there was a time on the right wing, where one of the liverpool defenders tried to bully him off the ball but Martial wasnt having any of it. He stood his ground and ended up winning a free kick. Almost as good as the goal.
Anyone but United.
Yeah, was against Lovren that. Martial seems like he could be physically able to cope with the league which is great.
It was the big donkey Lovren. Should have been booked for it
Very pleased for him. What a stage to introduce yourself.
Haha, was thinking it was, but was waiting to watch highlights to confirm. But you guys did anyway.
I like what im seeing from Martial, it was the right move to bring him on as a sub in this match imo. We need to use him sorta like Fergie used Ronaldo his first season
Yeah, a lovely piece of distribution it was too, after bringing it down on his chest.
Considering its his first week I can see the logic in benching him. But going forward we should use him as a starter over the likes of Fellaini instead of sub appearances imo. Rooney and Ronaldo at 19 were starting matches every week for us I think
