Great physique for a young lad. Liked that little cameo with Lovren. He'll be ok with the physical side, won't he? Disappointing nobody has been able to wheel out the obligatory 'needs to bulk up' line but that's the only negative I can see. Tremendously exciting, the whole thing.

Agree.
Bollocks. Let him loose. He'll be buzzing. We can always take him out for the weekend.
This
Against an opponent like PSV, no disrespect, we should really start him. Next PL game when Rooney is hopefully back he will sit on the bench again at least for 60 minutes.
He looks a lot more built at 19 than Ronaldo was at a similar age. He looks strong and lean compared to Memphis stocky look.
First match back in CL for us, I'm sure we'll err on the side of caution so expecting him on the bench to start. Coming on for 20mins against tired legs and tired minds, that could work very well in a game we'll be looking to 'dominate' rather than be aggressive.
He should start and build on the weekend's positive energy.
You guys are overhyping him, I see his name in every threads.
Looking at it again, the intent is there but there is a deflection of Skrtles foot.
Still, I'd like to think he adjusted his body to take account of it
Did anyone else notice, I think it's either Shaw or Young, getting their French and Italian accents mixed up and screaming "Antoni-Ah" at the start of the clip
It's not Darmian either, he shows up later!

We actually speak like that in the south.
I was on a wedding and tracked the result on livescore when I could, was to nervous to track BBC live update (one of the stupid things I do when United is playing ). Then @Šjor Bepo texted me it was Martial who scored and I couldn't believe it.
I've watched his goal about 6, 7 times and every time I got goosebumps. What a moment!
What a cool, cool finish, like there's nothing to it. Like it's not his debut against Liverpool.
Btw, from YNFA:

Let's hope he ends up more Thierry than Lenny.
Is it wrong that the thing I find most annoying about those Mirror articles is the '£58m'. He doesn't cost £58m until he gets a CL winner's medal and the Balon d'Or. Ffs.
We've got him for the long run there's no need to rush him in, personally I'd give him another 20/30 minute cameo. Let him have that Sub spark for now...
Starting? Hope he does well!
Can't believe it!
I'm excited
MARTIAL FEVER.
Martial and Memphis could hopefully be great in a few years time
Yeah, LvG agrees.
I hope the pressure doesn't get to him too much after that amazing start. Good luck Martial!
He's cool as feck though. Wasn't fazed against Liverpool at OT for his debut either.
We'll see how he goes.
Obviously very young but his record in Ligue 1 wasn't super-impressive, I can see him being bullied a bit in this game as a lone striker.

I wonder how the lad would've reacted two weeks ago if someone had told him that he'd be starting away against the Dutch Champions as a striker for Manchester United.
In plain English? He wouldn't understand what you were on about.
Don't think so. He was great as a lone striker against Valencia in both legs, and held his own as a lone striker away to PSG against Luiz and Silva, and started against both Juventus and Arsenal in the knockout rounds... For someone so young, he has a decent amount of big game experience already.
PSV are crap. Hattrick please!
Congrats Anthony Martial on your first start. Hope you score.
I'm flabbergasted that he's starting, really. Happy for him though!
PSV 2:1 Man Utd
Drifting out wide a fair bit. As long as someone fills in for him it should be good, he looks dangerous out there.
He's been good today but I somehow still expect him to get a huge amount of stick.
He's very raw, but he adds an extra dynamic up front.
He's finding a lot of space and linking the attack well. Also seems happy to run the channel.
Literally the inverse of when Rooney is up top.

Looks surprisingly comfortable, possibly more so than Rooney when he has the ball at least.
Looks decent.
Adds much needed dynamism to our attack. Will only get better as he develops imo.
