You look at the boy, you see him really happy and full of confidence in every play, he even took 2 players in the first minute he entered the pitch.

However, you read the moaners here and they make you believe he hates Jose, the club and he's searching for a new club to leave ASAP !
 
Don't like the idea of playing one on either wing.

I'm not seeing the problem, really. We have two very good options for left wing, thus we can keep them pretty fresh for what hopefully will be a season of many fixtures.

They don't have to play either wing. I think Martial could play centrally where Mkhi plays
 
Simply a joy to watch I think Mourinho is handling both him and Rashford well both playing and contributing and both get a chance to rest and be fresh for important games later in the season.
 
He's a delight to watch. Having quite an incredible season so far. His productivity per 90 minutes must be through the roof.

I actually think Martial and Rashford are making a huge case for playing together in favour of mata/Mkhitarian missing out. Mkhitarian has a lot of assists for example but those two are just offering more right now. Same with Mata. One of them behind Lukaku may be worth trying.

Thing is, were winning so changing things may disrupt the harmony.

Think we'll see RLM up front together when Ibra comes back. We can't really play without a recognised striker on the bench.
 
He's becoming a fan favourite at OT. The crowd seemed to wake up when he came on. My favourite player to watch atm.
 
He's such a joy to watch. We've missed a player like him who gets you off your seat every time they touch the ball.

I doubt that. Mkhi has to put in a defensive shift as well from time to time, making a run and back and keeping tabs on the opposition's midfield. Martial's defensive game isn't the best, obviously, so that might be an issue. Plus his change of pace is best utilised on the wings as it is.
 
Getting his mojo back.
The way hes been playing has far exceeded anything he showed before. This form over the course of a season and he cements himself as one of the best players in the league altogether, let alone getting back to looking incredibly promising.
 
He did well, but let's remember that he came on when we were up 3-0, when the game was won already. Like others have said, it's easier to do something against tired legs, while the opposition are leaving acres of space trying to attack themselves.

Despite having good numbers in limited minutes, he has mostly got those numbers in situations like today(as I said above). I don't believe he would have been brought on today if it was only 1-0 to us or 0-0.

FIVE of our players have a goal or assist every <90 mins. Such a change to last season.

That's really not true. It's just a case of wanting a really good player who's on form to start.

He tore CSKA a new one as a starter. Don't see why his performances should be downplayed just because he did well against "tired legs". The lad is top class and is having a fantastic season despite his relatively limited game time.

No. He's doing it from the start and he's doing it from the bench. He absolutely, positively deserves to start, at the expense of mkhi probably.
