He's like the extreme opposite of static, quick movement and close control.
 
He really does have the potential to be the best striker around. Amazing with the ball at his feet, so composed, so strong and quick. All despite being only 19.
 
Such a fecking excellent player. He has absolutely everything -- quick feet, pace, composure, skill, awareness, can head the ball, beat a man, is clinical and he's only 19. What a buy. One of the best teenagers I've ever seen.
 
Is there any real weakness to his game?

He can dribble, he can beat a man, he can finish, he has great composure, he's quick, his headed attempt showed great technique from a standing jump, his hold up play is first rate, he's strong.

He's 19 for feck sake, it's disgusting. I love it.
 
He has everything to be a proper CF. Benzema comparisons not totally ridiculous. While Martial looks "skinnier" he has the same physical presence.
 
Doesn't look like he's going to score today. But I think this was his best performance yet.
 
MOTM for me, causes defenders untold problems -- just excellent today. His hold up play is exceptional.

I would love to see if he is capable of scoring outside the box. It is not a necessity for him to have, but I feel with that in his locker, he would draw more and more comparison to true world class striker like Suarez, who I believe Martial is more similiar to because of his technical ability and assertiveness.

Yep. He hasn't yet had a shot from range so we're not sure what his shooting is actually like as his finishes have all been so composed and his overall play is so smart and not wasting plays by taking shots unnecessarily. But if he has the shooting from range, then his potential is even more frightening then it already is.
 
What's becoming quite apparent, and startling, is that he actually looks like a £50m bracketed player from what we've seen so far. Everything he does has that touch of class you expect in the elite company and what he's given us thus far is the kind of play we'd have expected from a Griezmann or that level of signing.

Even when he doesn't score, he can have a very good game.

It's mental to think this is the base he's starting his career with us from.
 
He's the real deal. What a mature player for a 19 year old. Ran the show today at times. He could win us the league this year.
 
MotM for me today again. His all around play is brilliant. There is really no weakness to his game at all, that we've seen so far at least. Yet to see how his shooting from range is and if he's a decent header of the ball at goal, but pretty much everything else is already at a really high level. Despite him only being 19. Hopefully he stays injury free, because he's already a top player.
 
Quality, would like to see us get the ball into his feet more often he's got good awareness and can turn defenders + brings others into play.
 
He seems to have all the tools to be a top player for us, for a long time.

Can hold up the ball, take on defenders, find a man. Really like what I'm seeing but still early days so won't go too crazy at this point. but I'm excited for what could be.
 
excellent today, man of the match. the turn for the 2v1 situation he created for him and memphis was brilliant.
 
Martial's 19 years old and he is carrying our attack on his back. Hasn't been a teenager to be this effective in the Premier League since the days of Anelka and Owen. His impact on this Man Utd is even bigger than that of Rooney of the United of 2005.
 
Can't believe he's only 19. Didn't score, but played very well and his all-around game is great. I think he was fouled at least 5 times today.

Seems like we've hit gold.
 
This guy blows my mind. How can he be so good at 19? He was playing like he had at least 10 years of experience in the PL. Crazy.

Credit to whoever said "feck it, we'll pay!" this summer. I'm guessing it was Woodward.
 
Freakishly good for his age. I was excited when we signed him despite never really having heard of him, because if our scouts were willing to take such a risk, they must have seen something special in him. So far it looks like they've been bang on with this one.
 
don't understand how could Memphis miss the brilliant chance created by Martial, he had so many options what to do, could have easily be 0+2 for Martial today, he was brilliant, his hold up play is the biggest surprise for me, he's becoming one of my favorite players, imagine how beasty he can be in say 4 years
 
Our scouting team has done a great job finding this guy and insisting that he is worth the amount we paid him. With barely a proper season under his belt, it amazes me how he was a relative unknown before the fee we paid for him. Our scout team deserve a huge pay raise for this acquisition.
