If you're not going to play him and Rashford on either side (my preferred option) then you have to continue the rotation. He got his chance at a start, didn't really take it. So back on the bench, and he can have another go at scoring as a sub in the second half.

Rashford is the one who plays well and works hard whether he scores or not, so at the moment he makes more sense as a starter.
For Christ sakes. Jesus
 
Tbf he didn't perform as well as Rashford has over his 2 starts and Marcus did have a worldie when he came on.
Not taking his chance doesn't mean he underperformed.
Look at Romero. Played as well as anybody when he played but wasn't quite good enaugh to keep DDG out.
Its a high standard
 
The pitting against each other of Martial and Rashford recently has been so funny to read. Its like some posters can't look at the bigger picture for Manchester United and are solely looking at it in terms of the individual player.

We have two fantastic young players that are 19 and 21 so they far from the finished product. In any 11 we play one of them is guaranteed a start and through the season both will be rotated often. We are developing both at the same time and also challenging their will to compete with the intention of them realising their potential.

Fergie even did this with Ronaldo and Fletcher and the gap between the two was far greater than Martial and Rashford. Wenger also with Adebayor and Van persie.
 
Stoke 2:2 Man Utd
Very good again. No reason why both him and Rashford couldn't start.
 
Martial has moved up a level from last season; hopefully he can be back to his best and more.

Nothing came off for him last season, he was static and predictable. Now he is much more dynamic and threatening.
 
He's our most creative player. Nobody will convince me otherwise.
As far as I'm concerned, he should always be on the pitch.
 
He's got to start. Don't know how things will work as Rash deserves to start as well.. can only see Miki and Mata covering one role instead of it being either Rash or Martial sharing their roles.
 
Should have came on sooner for either Rashford or Mikhi.

Mikhi off the right was too ineffective
 
Martial didnt play internationals, Rashford did so why play the player who actually wasnt properly rested, instantly martial made a difference when he came on

Suppose its a long season we can't win them all just a bit gutted as that game was there to be won.
 
Thought it was weird that Martial and Mata didn't start. Out of all our attackers, Jose decides to bench those who didn't go on the international break. Weird.
 
Should have started today. He was fresh because he did not play a lot of minutes for France. Think he could have made a difference.
 
The bit of skill to send the 2nd cross in was sublime, cross itself was meh though.

Don't get why he was dropped. Played well last game and didnt go on int. duty.

.

I assume Jose preferred Rashford for Stoke and Martial for Basel.
 
Should have entered the game earlier. Looked fresh but time was a bit late for him to do more than what he did.
 
Hope he starts against Basel. In this kind of form, he'll definitely have a huge impact.
 
Think he'll start and do really well on Tuesday, then probably get dropped again on Sunday!
 
Added dynamism when he came on, I would have brought him on at half time and tried him left with Rashford right.
 
Great to see he's got his mojo back. Did everything right when he came on. Hope he starts the next match.
