He looked average at best today and that was my expectation for the entire squad. James couldn’t create the space because Spurs sat deep, nullifying his only weapon, speed. It looked as if Rashford had a free role, roaming from wing to wing while Martial was stuck stationary to that 9. Mata on the right, with his quick passing and abilities to see the field while dropping back so Martial doesn’t go searching for the ball while being surrounded by Spurs players, would’ve suited this game better.
His chance against Dier was sub par. As a striker, knowing that Dier is absolutely crap in 1v1 situations ( as exposed by Pogba), should be mandatory. He made up for that with a brilliant effort against Lloris with his left foot that would’ve seen this whole forum singing his name.
A very rusty performance but not so inexcusable considering the performances of Bruno, Rashford, and especially Pogba.
5/10 for me
