To be fair Ronaldo was a winger. Take away the price tag and I think there's a lot less pressure on a young striker than a young winger at United. Just look at Memphis at the moment

He gets the job done.
Haven't been this excited about a player in a long while. 19 years of age, he can break our goal scoring records.
This.
He can't possibly keep this shit up..
I don't see why not. Defenders can't get near him. He's strong on the ball, skilful and his movement is top notch to boot. Unless he hits a disastrous patch, I can see this continuing.
Kaboul will be quaking in his boots.
The Iceman strikes again! Loved the way he collected the ball into his path and just made the slight adjustment to slot it past the keeper.
Playing with no fear! what a sight to watch him play.
I'm really hoping Memphis can get a few goals soon and play with confidence.
The pair are going to scare the shit out of teams once they are both firing.

The best part for me is that he is not just a scoring merchant, he is a full package. Physically strong, aerial ability, fast, dribbling skills, movement, passing, vision, hold up... call me a fan
oh come on, don't be so realistic. That's not how we roll around here.
Martial is going to have peaks and troughs but United fans are right to be excited by his potential, he doesn't seem weighed down by his price tag or anything and his composure in front of goal is incredible.
Feck off
In the next summer window we should make Antonine griezman our priority target, imagine the French link up between him and martial. Ohhhhhh
A graceful player and a joy to watch. He makes the game look easy.
Does anyone know what his personality is like? It's tough to get a sense for that. With his early success, I hope we can help him stay balanced and focused.

That is what surprise me the most about him. Martial must have commendable mental strength to play the type of football he is currently playing without being burdened by United's atmosphere or expectation that his price tag brought. I think Sir Alex once said that the most important aspect in purchasing a player is his mental strength and that seems like one of Martial noteworthy attributes.
looking at the goal again, didn't he pretty much rob the ball from Memphis? He'd probably doesn't care who he needs to run over to get those goals.
He already has a family, as far as I know. Seems very grounded.
just saying....
All his goals are calmly taken. Placed with intent and not rushed. He is a breath of fresh air, similar to Chico in how he plays off the oppositions defenders, but with his pace he tends to stay onside unlike Chico!
He gives us that different dynamic. Quickens the tempo up front as with him in the team, it is ball to feet and played in behind the opposition.

He was in a better position. And looked back to acknowledge Memphis when he scored too, first time he has probably smiled after scoring lol.
His finishing is like a 13 year old abusing the R1+O finesse shot on FIFA 12.
Good point. Class above Chico already though, and the Hernandez was good when he burst onto the scene.
Oh Anthony
A month ago you meant nothing to me
Now every time you score
I love you more and more

Ya I think Chico was too eager or at least seemed that way, like jump starting a 100m race, saw the ball and didn't read the situation. Martial seems so calm, knows where he is and where he should be positionally to capitalise on a pass or mistake.
Just grounding myself... I hope his stock just rises and rises and we're paying the Balon D'Or bonus in 2017, but somehow I don't see that happening
And let's face it, no matter how meteoric a player's rise is, the speedbump comes at some point. Unless your name is Ronaldo or Messi ;P
Hard to stay grounded when he's scoring goals like he don't give a feck
Funny little thing, all his 4 goals have been put in the bottom right hand corner.
The hype started in France long before there was ever any mention of him coming here. It appears to be real.
Wouldn't surprise me if he pulls off one of those outside the foot finishes he attempted.
Difference being martial has way more talent and pace then Kane has. They aren't even close ability wise on the ball and potential wise.
Its true though. Kane is pretty good and all, but its like comparing current Rooney with current aguero. Its not much of a comparison is it?Glaston would like this
I'm glad Arsenal got Welbeck.
It really isn't. I want to see Martial a bit more before we make statements like this.
Anthony "the bargain" Martial.
This kid blows my mind. The things he's been doing since the transfer shouldn't be possible. I had hardly heard of him when the news of our mega bid came in, and not even a month later he's scoring goals ever 50-odd minutes.
Mental.
Mental.
If you are Rooney you are looking at him and thinking, This guy is about to retire me.
How isn't it? I'm not talking about current ability, I'm saying talent on the ball. Martial is great on it, has a great touch, is very quick, has excellent hold up play and is scoring for fun currently. There's a reason united spent so much on him and didn't go for Kane. Kane had a good season last year but currently hasn't scored this season. They're both young players, but martial is way ahead of him ability wise.
