Really good in the second half, always looked the most likely to make something happen, but I don't want him out on the left long term.
 
Give Berbatov cup of coffee and he'll turn into El Martialinho.

Insane ball control at his age and always looks like he just don't care how good he already is.
 
He looks so natural with the ball I half expect him to dink one in from range or swing a lovely volley but he doesn't look interested in that.
 
You are so wrong. I loved today, love the players we have, think we have a team that could really grow. I'm just cynical about the money in football at the moment that is all.

We can offer more money than Madrid and it'll only get worse for them in that respect. Just enjoy Martial's performances and don't be needlessly pessimistic that we might lose him if Madrid show an interest. Even if they become interested, there's nothing to suggest that he'd want to leave or we'd agree to sell.

I'm loving him....believe me. One of those who thought he wasn't a waste of money but a great signing. Ah well...if everyone agreed with everyone else on here..well..it would be a bit boring wouldn't it?
 
Does he wear invisible skates or something? Feck sake, he is 19 but he just 'glides' through players at will. Unreal potential.
 
Maybe it's premature but I think he's world class already, the way the ball sticks to his foot is very much like Hazard and when you combine that with explosive directness and an intelligent head this is the result. I really do think he will tear up the league this year and could well win us a title of the rest of the team falls into place.
 
He is on his way to being the difference maker for us. Every team has one. Hazard or Sanchez or Aguero. He could be our talisman.
 
First half was as quiet as he's been so far. Not that he was bad or anything. Once the game got a bit more stretched he was absolutely roasting Coleman. I never saw him play for Monaco so that's the first I've seen from him as a winger and I'm quite impressed!
 
So he's shuffled to the left to accommodate an out of form Rooney and he does pretty well. Gets his marker booked early on, and twice dances into the box where he'd have enjoyed having someone to pass it to.

More impressive as a striker but the kid is exciting to watch. Probably more efficient on the left than Memphis as he seems to have a better understanding of the game, but the two of them will link up well in the future.

I was surprised to see people upset by the simple thought of him on the wing, but you made me realize that most United fans don't know him.
 
Oh right, I'm a dick. So if Martial develops into a top top lethal striker Real Madrid won't sniff around and try to buy him? What planet are YOU living on?

So, instead of enjoying a player that plays for us, you are worried about him performing, because Real Madrid would come sniffing, let's buy lots of average players then, that's the solution.
 


That right there is just insane. The chest control, the movement away, luring them out, then dribbling away two defenders with no fecking space to work on. If he had scored it would have been the goal of the season

When he scored against Liverpool, i might have thought he was another Macheda, but since then he hes swept away all doubts. Looks like we are going to have to pay Monaco the full fee. Future Ballon d'or winner for sure

I think people were more annoyed that he was being moved to accommodate an out of form Rooney than thinking he wouldn't be suited to the wing. I readily admit I knew absolutely nothing about him until we signed him though.
 
He can play up front, on the left and even on the right side of the attacking trio. He has lots of talent, it just matters that he's on the pitch. A bit surprised by the negativity with him playing on the left before the match.

I think he has been very good on the left from what I've seen of him (friendlies for France and highlights today) however I would still prefer to see him as centre forward due to his cool finishing

His finishing is probably the aspect of the game he needs to improve the most. He scored 4 goals and it is impressive but I wouldn't much more from him in terms of goalscoring.
 
I know it's a lazy comparison but the way he sort of teased and lured out the back and then sped past him reminded me of Henry.
 
It was another pleasing performance by him today, every time I watch him play he shows something new to his game and he is intelligent which is impressive with him being young, little things like when he was running at Coleman and one time he would cut inside but then the next time he would go down the line. I was saying to the tv don't cut inside this time as to keep Coleman guessing, so it was nice when Martial mixed it up.
 
Good way to improve in that aspect is to play up to right?

Not necessarily. What matters is playing in position/system that allows him to have chances to shoot the ball. He had a good chance for instance (the Rooney pass) but delivered a weak shot for instance today. No matter where he plays, he'll have opportunities, the rest will improve with time and experience.
 
:lol:needs to start scoring again, it's gone a little quiet.
if I'm being critical. which I am
 
My reaction when he went by a few players with so little space was pretty much "What the feck?". Similar to that goal Ruud scored in the CL about 12 or 13 years back (can't remember against who)**, although Martial didn't score obviously.

Incredible talent. Can play across the front three, can run at players, can finish, can assist, can beat players consistently, can hold the ball up. Good first touch, good strenght, excellent ball control. Has to be one of the best young players in the world at the moment. I'd never heard of him before we bought him, so well done scouts.

**Yeah, was against Basel:
 
He has no fear, he gets the ball, can run at players (and get away from them with no problem), and he got his head up. Looked very mature a times. Always happy with signings like him.
 
His finishing is probably the aspect of the game he needs to improve the most. He scored 4 goals and it is impressive but I wouldn't much more from him in terms of goalscoring.

Do you think so? When he gets into scoring positions he seems very composed to me. I think maybe his passing can be erratic (although looking at the pass to Rooney and for Giroud in the week can be very good)
