Great to hear he's starting.

Perhaps Mourinho thought he needed a break after a pretty intense 18 months, and now thinks he's got his batteries recharged.
 
Can say that Watford match in September is the crucial marking Martial lost his starting slot. Now is the time for him standing up right at the place he fell, come on Martial
 
This is a great opportunity for him, and I really hope that he will put a good showing today.
 
Some nice words from Mourinho there in the pre match interview, said that Tony is working very hard in training and hasn't been given enough chances so deserve it today.
 
As usual a slow start but seems to be growing into it.
 
He's simply our best option out on the left. It's not even debatable.
 
He's comfortably better today than he has been most of the season. The difference is the work rate is there. If he plays like this then he'll play regularly.

He's played to this level in pretty much all the games he has started. He gets dropped for no reason. Rashford simply isn't on his level at LW.
 
Really positive half from him, needs to get his shots away a bi earlier, but looking much more comfortable and confident on the ball this afternoon
 
He looks like a beast today, what a touch and run at the end of the first half.
 
Doesn't need to overthink it in front of goal. Has the talent to score from distance and the watford defense is at his mercy. He should get a goal.
 
Ace today. What a goal that would have been at the end of the half.
 
Miles better than Rashford. Second-best player behind Mata so far. Good to see him bounce back.
 
On a different planet to Rashford in terms of talent in my opinion. Deserves a goal second half

No he hasn't. Nowhere near. The only other game he's had like this were he was putting the effort in was against Middlesbrough. You're lying to yourself.
 
He's been good and showed why he should be starting ahead of our other options but his dribbling needs to be sharper.

That little Laudrup move he pulls off is devastating, needs to use it more often and add a few other silky moves to keep defenders guessing.
 
He starts every game slow and grows into it, never quite seen a player like that, it's like he spends the game slowly powering up and by the end he's on a 100% guarantee by 60 minutes he'll beat 10 men and score.
 
Give him the ball and he'll be in oppo's box in matter of seconds. Crucial player to have while building a new team.

I'm going to get criticised for this but I think Rashford is average technically and if he didn't have express pace would come across as more raw than he does. Martial has much better close control, but just needs to expand his game and incorporate more tricks and smarter movement off the ball.

Obviously he gets dropped for a reason. Playing a bit crap for most of the season is part of it.

Been very positive today - it helps when we have other players making space for him, like we have today. More of the same in the 2nd half I hope.

He's been one of our best players in 2017. No reason for him to have only played in one of the last five games.

He hasn't been crap.

He most certainly hasn't been crap compared to the other players we've used on the left.

There's no reason not to play him on the left unless it's not football related.
