I can't stop smiling when i think about how good he already is and how good he will be in the future!
Wait for Madrid to come sniffing..I can't stop smiling when i think about how good he already is and how good he will be in the future!
That was absurd, I couldn't believe how he was holding on to the ball and going past the City players when it was just him against like four of themSomeone get a gif of that run he went on at the end when Rashford was down injured. Brilliant bit of play to relieve the pressure.
No reason why he cant be. Basically a 15 goal player this season while spending the majority on the left and it being his first in the prem, and playing for a struggling united side that is so poor going forward. Put him in a better functioning and he can definitely get over 20 goals a season playing as a wide forward. Easily can be that if he was a striker consistently but I feel like he would be a bit wasted because of his dribbling.Yes, he's class. I get the impression the plan was to use him sparingly this season but with a good rest this summer I think he will ultimately benefit from virtually a full season. He's such a smooth player with an effortless look about him and that turn of pace from a standing start is a great asset.
Don't think he'll ever be a 20-25 goal a season striker because of the way he naturally drifts wide but 15 a season with everything else he brings will do nicely.
Sourness loves himself a bit of Martial.
I still wish he slipped a through ball to Rashford instead, would've been another goal easily. But not complaining, he has that killer instinctive that will serve him well as a striker in the long run.Thought his turn to set up a shot for himself (not long after the goal) was really nice.
Won't he be in the Euro squad? He seems to be a part of the NT now...Yes, he's class.

Imagine, a few years ago saying we spent 50m on a striker and he scored 12 in 39 games. Doubt we'd be close to as happy as we are(rightly as he's been awesome) with Martial.It's great how no one gives a shit about his price any more. He's been that good.
Depends. I think we would still be delighted with his obvious technique, moments of breathtaking skill and even goal return as he's started 75 percent of his matches on the left instead of up front.Imagine, a few years ago saying we spent 50m on a striker and he scored 12 in 39 games.

Almost sure he'll get called up this summer barring injury.Won't he be in the Euro squad? He seems to be a part of the NT now...

A player as good as Martial... if he doesn't turn into a 30+ a season player, there is something seriously wrong.
Do you see him as a winger even in the future or will he be the main striker?

'The Premier League is more physically demanding than Ligue 1,' Martial told Sky Sports.
'I love English football, it's the best in the world in my opinion, and I hope to stay here for many years to come.
'It's true that the atmosphere here is quite different from the one in France, people live and breathe football here, and that's what I like, every footballer wants to play in the Premier League.
'In France it's easy to know which team is going to win the game, where as in England anywhere you play, you know it's going to be difficult.
'I think it made me realise how physically strong I am, I wasn't aware of it while playing for Monaco, as I wasn't playing consistently. I think the manager believes in me and I make sure I look after myself as well as my diet in order to be fit for games.'
the most pleasing thing about his development. Up until the last few he's simply been refusing to shoot from distance even when in space.He looks much more confident lately. The way he picked up the ball against liverpool, and his shooting from distance on more than one occasion yesterday.
What a phenomenal talent. Its such a joy having a player like him to watch week in week out.
It's obvious to say but having Rashford next to him has upped his game because 1) he has someone to finally play with (i.e not Rooney) and 2) I think he has some pride in not letting the other teenage sensation up stage him.
