Good performance.

 

[lilcurt]

Rather have him leading the line than Rooney.

He'll make mistakes but at least with him the only way is up.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Decent first start for the lad.

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Clueless

Well I did just watch him unbiased for 90 minutes, gives me a fairly big clue. Hes only 19, and how much do you want to wager that he wont displace Rooney? Even I would win that bet.

Nothing to do with his talent, he just wont displace him because its Rooney.

 

[Cassidy]

Very good hold up play today, looks very dangerous too. Better at leading the line than Wayne I thought

 

[Rado_N]

Thought he was exciting but poor tonight, hes one of those sort of players who will either score a great goal or give the ball away, he wont displace Roomney but he gives you something different.

Bizarre comment after that match.

 

[thepolice123]

Can't believe he is only 19. He's going to be some player for us.

 

[entropy]

Turned off for the last 15 minutes or so. I don't think we should expect too much from him this early on. Still prefer Rooney up front.

 

[Cmz']

Hope he starts again at the weekend, promising performance, our best player tonight imo

 

[Kag]

His all round game was very impressive. Our best player, feck knows how this lot have given MOTM to Bastian.

 

[Ryan7]

Held the ball up well, and laid it off for others. Unfortunately, our players couldn't create anything for him.

 

[kundalini]

Very promising without ever quite happening for him tonight. We actually look a decent side when we feed the ball into him and he tries to link up with runners such as Memphis.

 

[Sandikan]

the beauty of him over Rooney, is even when he's not involved one burst of pace can see him away.

Positive is the small glimpse of him and Memphis' interplay.

 

[JPRouve]

Put Rooney behind him and we are fine, I said it last week and I say it again.

 

[Ekeke]

I thought he did well, only thing was he could have had more efforts himself but he chose to make a pass to a teammate in a good position

 

[Wowi]

Nothing to do with his talent, he just wont displace him because its Rooney.

That has nothing to do with your initial comment though, which suggested he wouldn't displace Rooney because of ability.

Also, you "watching him unbiased" clearly didn't give you a "fairly big clue".

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Bizarre comment after that match.

No I just watched it unbiased, he was exciting but he was also poor tonight. When youre that young its very common that you do something either really spectacular or something really inconsistent.

It's safe to assume you're either drunk or clueless because your description of him isn't remotely close to the truth. I reckon you made that judgment before he even played tonight, purely because he scored a great goal in the last game and he's young. It certainly wasn't based on his performance or skillset

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Looked very, very composed. Seems much older than he actually is. Decent performance.

 

[Ballache]

This guy is going to be a very good CF, he did well tonight I thought.

 

[Grib]

Good game on his full debut, lots of promise

Hold up and link play was good, strong pacey, give us a different outlet that just passing it around slowly. He's a target for the like of Herrera, Memphis, Mata to actually thread a ball to, any time this happened during the game it opened up the defence for us more than I've seen recently (not counting Brugge when they were been idiots leaving 2-3 back chasing 8 goals)

 

[Leg-End]

Talent spotting about as good as his betting ability.

 

[NoLogo]

He looks really lively but so often was one against 4-5 players it was ridiculous. If we have a player who can actually hold up the ball a bit we need to provide the right movement around him to make a pass from him actually matter if his only option is to pass it back into midfield we aren't getting anywhere.

 

[Stadjer]

Had a decent game. Impressive for someone new and young

 

[SteveJ]

Looked very, very composed. Seems much older than he actually is. Decent performance.

Exactly. Great promise.

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Also, you "watching him unbiased" clearly didn't give you a "fairly big clue".

Well to be fair even if it was that you;ve only seen two games of Martial in a United shirt thats nowhere near enough to decide whether hes better yet.

 

[YouOnlyLiveTwice]

Impressed with him, you can definitely see the talent. One negative is his aerial play, i don't know if he can improve that, you don't have to be a good header though.

 

[bosnian_red]

He's class. Great hold up play and really calm and mature on the ball. Really gives us so much more having someone who knows how to hold up the ball and run in behind up there. Rooney behind him, with Memphis on the left and then whoever on the right (Herrera/Mata/Young), and that's a great attack IMO.

 

[Rado_N]

No I just watched it unbiased, he was exciting but he was also poor tonight. When youre that young its very common that you do something either really spectacular or something really inconsistent.

You can keep saying you're unbiased all you like, you're still completely wrong.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Some real positives alright. A couple of his passes were under hit and he struggled aerially. His understanding with Memphis seems telepathic.

 

[Oo0AahCantona]

He was excellent, some absolute cretins going at him in the matchday thread.

 

[Stemmy]

Well to be fair even if it was that you;ve only seen two games of Martial in a United shirt thats nowhere near enough to decide whether hes better yet.

You're being called out on the fact you said he was poor, which is complete horseshit and you know it. He didn't score but added more to our game than we've seen for a while, despite being only nineteen.

Won't displace Rooney mind, but your other remark was rubbish!

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Hope he gets another start, it fills me with some sort of confidence that at least we have a forward making positive runs.

His holdup play is very underrated.

 

[Vidicious]

Was terrific.
Very reassured, cool as a cucumber & the kind of linkup play you'd expect from an experienced CF.

 

[Wowi]

Well to be fair even if it was that you;ve only seen two games of Martial in a United shirt thats nowhere near enough to decide whether hes better yet.

Sure, keep changing your argument. You've gone from "poor game, he's worse than Rooney" to "he wouldn't displace Rooney because Rooney is Rooney" to "you can't judge him based on two games" in five minutes. That's very well done.

 

[Kraftwerker]

No I just watched it unbiased, he was exciting but he was also poor tonight. When youre that young its very common that you do something either really spectacular or something really inconsistent.

Just because you keep saying it, doesn't make it true.

Nothing worse than a rival fan on here thinking their opinion is 'unbiased'.

You're as biased, if not more so, than most united fans on here (who tend to judge our players fairly on the whole and often harsher than most critics).

 

[Ash_G]

I thought he looked really good. Setting aside his price, as a young striker he looks like he's got bags of talent and offered a threat we so badly need. Able to turn and run at people and hold up the ball in dangerous areas. As his understanding with the team grows and he gets more maturer he could be a big asset.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Thought he was exciting but poor tonight, hes one of those sort of players who will either score a great goal or give the ball away, he wont displace Roomney but he gives you something different.

I think poor is a bit much, Mata was poor, this lad was quite bright. However I agree he probably isn't going to replace Rooney yet but I think he will start wide right when Rooney comes back.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Only plus from tonight really.

Him and Memphis are great together. Telepathic stuff. Think adding Rooney in the mix will make it a lot better too.

Rubbish. I am one of the least biased people of all. Maybe it was more Brumas excellent display I dont know, I saw exciting flashes but poor in terms of actually getting through on goal/scoring.

I didnt think he was poor Saturday FYI, its not a black and white scenario. God forbid anyone have an opinion!
