Fantastic finish, really top stuff. He could have got another if Pogba's final ball today.

Where the feck is his contract?
22 G/A in 17 starts.
Agree with this I think he can go up another level in terms of ruthlessness which will also IMO help his consistency.
Been saying it for years, best player we have had since ronaldo. Once he gets more consistent nobody will stop him.
He still has 2.5yrs left to go, relax it'll come.
Was doubled up multiple times again. Adding Sanchez to the other side should hopefully open some space up for him.
It's going to be interesting to see how this works out, because I doubt we're going to see Sanchez on the right side when he operates mainly from the left. He's coming in as the main man, and will probably be given his favored position. If this most likely happens, Martial is going to suffer from it and will either need to adapt to the right side or make cameo appearances when Sanchez is taken off. Nevermind what this could mean for Rashford. I hope I'm wrong and Mourinho finds a way to incorporate Sanchez without disrupting Martial's progress.
I think he should attack the byline a bit more. That unpredictability would probably result in better opportunities to cut inside also. He's some player
Wenger has previously suggested Sanchez is most comfortable playing on the right, I really hope this is true, because of the 3 behind Lukaku of Mata Lingard and Martial, Mata is the one who I see getting dropped for Alexis. I really hope it doesn't come to our most in form player getting dropped for our new signing, if Alexis is coming to replace Martial I'd rather not sign him.
It's a big worry, at least for me. Sanchez, I heard on a YT video the other night, hasn't played on the right since a South American copa a few years ago? He must be expecting to play on the left or in the hole.
Sanchez is going to take Mata position. We're not going to repeat that again.
Martial has cemented his LW position.

Don't see Sanchez affecting Tony. He can play centrally or on the right.
Mourinho post-match:
In my opinion our 3 should be Pogba , martial , Sanchez behind lukaku but I’ve a feeling we won’t see it ... the problem there is the 3 I’ve named best position is in that left position . It’ll be interesting to see how JM deals with it .
He can play the Mata role better than Mata, so instant upgrade. Martial is pretty much a nailed on starter now, yet people just assume Jose will replace him. Martial is no where near the finished article, he never dominates a game, like a true world class player would, but he sure is a match winner. If he can turn those moments into consistent play, then he can achieve everything in football. Sanchez will allow him greater freedom, not take his place. I know you might think YouTube is a reliable source, but it really isn't.
I'm expecting something like this, this season :
Matic - Pogba
Sanchez - Lingard - Martial
Lukaku
Matic - Herrera
Pogba
Sanchez - Lukaku - Lingard.
Sanchez - Lingard - Martial
Lukaku
Matic - Herrera
Pogba
Sanchez - Lukaku - Lingard.
Next season we'll either get a number 10 or a CM depending on which formation Jose wants to build the team on.
If he can stop fellating over Lukaku and focus on Martial for a sec.
I think he talks up Lukaku a lot to give him confidence after seeing him work hard.i personally think if Sanchez comes he will rotate with Lingard in the middle throughout the game, because from there Sanchez can also cut inside on his right foot where he is favoured if he interchanges with Lingard in the middle.
Him and Sanchez on the wing are going to be devastating. Both have the ability to win a game in the blink of an eye, as we saw today.
Fantastic finish again today.

He's right, though. It was fantastic vision by Rom to put Martial in a 1v1 situation. Did it a few times today.

Did you even read what has he said? Jesus christ.
He's basically saying that Lukaku is intelligent for passing the ball to Martial because Martial with his attributes can hurt any fullback. Also saying that he's a complete wide player as in he could do various things and is unpredictable. Apart from few words, he's basically praising Martial only.
Deserved motm today! Very good performance. The goal was class .. as the assist from lukaku was.
His style in general is eerily reminiscent of Ribery. Not to say he yet has Ribery's level of quality or consistency, however, stylistically and tactically he moves and thinks quite similar. Suffice to say that Sanchez playing will open more spaces for Martial to score more goals, since, at the moment, Martial is constantly drawing two men to himself and Sanchez' presence will alleviate that.
Brilliant talent. So dangerous pretty much every time he gets the ball, especially on counters.
I don't actually, there's plenty of rubbish there, but I've been watching videos on where Sanchez might play and this is what I heard mentioned.
If I were managing, I also would want Mata replaced ASAP and have a better player in there, which no doubt Sanchez would be. But there is going to be a bit of suspense as to where we'll see him in the first lineup. I hope like everyone else that it works out well.
I live watching a young player fulfill his promise. The kid can be special. He has world class potential.
Mourinho tough love is working because he looks a much more complete player now. Tracks back well, makes good decisions, and he’s lethal around the box.

Ribery is one hell of a hard working player to back up his talents. I don't see Martial having the same work ethic, nor do I see similarities in their play. But each to their own...
Should have had a hat trick today, was making some cracking runs and wasn't being picked up. That finish was stunning, difficult to generate that power and accuracy with such little backswing.. unstoppable finished
Agree Sanchez will help but we won't truly unlock the potential of that wing without an overlapping LB. The extra guy tracking back to double team Martial won't always be affected by Sanchez but at least the others won't be able to load up their entire fecking defense on our left side
I think he secretly reads the caf.
Few days ago there was a conversation going on around here that he is too predictable and always goes for that bottom right finish. He now always goes for top finishes.

Unsurprisingly and easily, better than Rashford.
I wonder if he's working hard at freekicks in training.
His shooting technique is perfect for it. Don't whip it but treat them like its a free shot from open play.

He should be one of the first names on the teamsheet now.
Give him isolation 1v1 with any full-back in the world and we'll never have problems with scoring goals and/or creating chances. 
Scored a brilliant goal and should probably had another one if his greedy mates had passed him the ball. Looking at his stats I'm surprised that he's already on double figures in both goals and assists. Had no idea that he had that many assists already!
Having a good season so far, and with his talent hopefully there's even more to come.

3 goals and 2 assists in his last 4 games! Great form
