I loved that dribble a few minutes prior to the goal. We've not had a central dribbler for a while now.
 
He didn't "save us" last time either, he scored the 3rd in a 3-1 win...
It looked like it was going to be a nervy last ten mins against Liverpool and he scored. Today we were absolutely hopeless until he scored
 
A few such performances more and everybody would sure forget about the price. WHAT A PLAYER! He can seriously become very good.
 
He's like the match lighting at the start of Mission Impossible!

That cold comspure in front of goal shall earn him the nickname 'Black Ice' one slip and he punishes you!.....I'll get my coat.
 
Martial needs to score a lot more goals before I'll forgive him for those boots.
 
Where are all the OP fans who were on here when we signed him saying what a waste of money he is?
 
It's not just when he has the ball at feet, the way he will working the channels is impressive as well.
 
So far so good. I always stated that I need Martial to have a season like Januzaj or even better for me to start believing his hype. He looks like the real deal, but I feel we can still get better from him if he plays a more free role. Playing him alongside Rooney seems more like a hindrance so far.
 
This kid is looking like the real deal. Or should I say the Real deal.
 
Amazing. That's all that needs to be said.
 
Everyone who has seen Martial before has been adamant that he actually is good whatever the price tag is. His composure in front of goal has been great.
 
He's an absolute assassin in the box so far. So, so much composure! Also his movement has been really good I thought, drawing defenders out of position at times. Really liking the look of him.
 
So what do people think, 4 or 5 seasons before he's off Madrid?

Can we just assume from now on that this has already been said about any foreign young player we have signed and everyone found it hilarious.

Just to save you the bother of clicking through loads of green smilies.
 
Nah. He is a very rated talent and that's about it (which is already great IMO).

I'd imagine Henry at a similar age was the same? Great potential but not seen as a "best in the world" type of talent. Also Ronaldo in his one trick pony days.....nobody could expect him to be the player he is. Impossible to tell with most young players
 
Macheda scored the week after his first goal as well, proves nothing.

;)
 
Has been miles better than I expected. I didn't really expect him to be much around the first team this season - mostly cup appearances and cameos. But he has shown that he is ready.

The really promising thing is not just that he is talented, but he is so mature, composed and unfazed. You see plenty of exciting youngsters, but to see one who has slotted in so easily is pretty rare.
 
Quick, calm and an eye for goal. He might be pretty special.

Cautiously optimistic, but I like what I've seen so far.
 
The Macheda comparisons are tiresome too. Macheda had nothing to his game other than being a good finisher. Anyone with half a brain cell can tell that they are nothing like each other.

Martial looks very intelligent. His runs are great and he's leading the line at 19 years of age.

Exactly. It only takes some ridiculous talents (Messi for instance) to make projections like that.

But I like the green smiles!

On topic, the thing that impresses me most about the guy is how nothing seems to be fazing him. He also seems quite dominant in the air which is an option we lack, anything thats stops us needing to throw Fellaini up top is a massive plus.

I thought Henry was all pace and nowt else.
 
Now you guys see why I said that next summer he would have joined the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid.
