He's probably my least favourite United player. He's bone idle and a complete waste of talent.

I can forgive a player for lacking ability, but I can't forgive a player for just not caring or trying.

 

[Swiss_Red89]

Thought he wasn't bad today.
But probably "not bad" is not enough for him at this point. He needs to dominate games soon when given the chance if he wants to survive at this club.

 

[kouroux]

He plays like he is 38-39 years old

 

[crossy1686]

It's so depressing that we're stuck with him due to his wages. We've going to have to loan him out at our cost to some shit Italian team aren't we? Absolute waste of talent

 

[Godfather]

He sure looks slow these days. Wasn't bad but didn't make anything happen either

 

[dweb]

Nothing performance from him. Till today we can't decide what is his best position.

On another team's bench.

 

[crossy1686]

If I someone asked you which one out of him and Ronaldo was 36 you'd swear it was Martial based on performance.

Hasn't scored away for over a year now. He's a £50m striker. Not bad performances are reserved for players like Ingalho.

That's insulting to Zlatan

 

[PSV]

Him and Pogba were absent tonight. Yeah, I know. But I'm not wrong.

 

[kouroux]

He really does play like him Everything is slow but in the PL/CL, you need your player to be more alive

 

[crossy1686]

To be fair, Pogba is probably in Turin signing a contract

That's basically what I was saying in the rest of my post

I know, I was agreeing with you. I'm just annoyed at how blasé he is about his career at United, or in football in general.

Maybe he will take martial with him if we say he can go in January.

 

[crossy1686]

We can only hope. I was hoping we'd get £25m for him in the summer, that price is looking like a fecking joke now.

I wish he was half as good as Zlatan

 

[Swiss_Red89]

Yes he's a strange one. Don't know what to do with his case...Has all the talent but somehow can't produce it on the pitch for about 16 months now. Thought he was brilliant in the 19/20 season but completely disapperead after...

Not explainable for me. Does he really give absolutely no feck or could it be a confidence problem as well?

 

[Frank White]

Waiting on @Martial'sEmergingSmile play by numbers for him or is that only reserved for certain players? Was given a chance to show something to try and rejuvenate his career here but again walking around at snails pace, simple passes and god knows what's happened to his ability to take a man on.

 

[kouroux]

I wish he was half as good as Zlatan

You and me both.

 

[Oranges038]

Might have done more with bruno in the side over VDB. With more gametime and confidence he will transform our attack alongside ronaldo and sancho. He did well with the little he had all game.

The best way for him to transform the attack is for him to be as far away from it as possible.

 

[lex talionis]

Appalling today. The talent is there for all to see, but the application of that talent was woeful today.

 

[AjaxCunian]

This guy isnt useful, get rid.

 

[Majima]

Is he overweight? He hasn't looked right ever since he bulked up imo.

He used to be so dynamic, how can it all leave him so quickly, without any serious injuries and still relatively young?

 

[Rajma]

Should have been shipped off ages ago when he still had any value. No foresight from the club as usual.

 

[DarkXaero]

Such a waste of talent.

 

[Idxomer]

Such an easy scapegoat, his time is up but he was one of the few playing well in the 1st half.

 

[Raven]

Thought he worked hard and was generally decent.

 

[Orton]

He didn’t do much, linked up okay. Tracked his man, we done nothing as a team until about minute 70 when we brought on Bruno and got a huge stroke of luck that led to us scoring. Villarreal were in total control, also Ronaldo was also barely involved before the goal. Even less so than Tony.

 

[Based Adnan]

You'd think he'd be raring to prove himself after being out of the side but he looked like a pensioner out there

 

[Orton]

Such an easy scapegoat, his time is up but he was one of the few playing well in the 1st half.

You would think he was missing chance after chance. He done as much as anybody in the first half. We sat and soaked up pressure most of it and only came to life when they tired out. Typical story of most of our wins last year. We played ultra defensive. No attacker looked good until the Capoue mistake.

 

[skc_18]

Big fan of him. But I think his time at United is probably over.

 

[Frank White]

Playing well by doing what exactly? Genuine question what did he do well?

Doesn't even get into the positions to miss chance after chance.

Strange isn't it. He was such an exciting, dangerous player. Nowadays so pedestrian.

 

[Orton]

Did anybody have a chance for us in the first half? We were penned back for the majority of it. First proper chance we had was Bruno setting up Sancho. Next was the goal after Capoue’s best Fred impersonation, funnily enough after being tackled by him.

In saying that, he should probably still leave. Clearly won’t be playing as much when Cavani and Greenwood return.

I'm just so sick of him I can't see any positives, sure there may have been some but I don't see them. Everything about him bugs me.

 

[Shane88]

Surely we can rinse Newcastle for £30-40 million.

 

[Idxomer]

He held up the ball well and was dropping deep basically doing the job of our supposed midfield. He also shouldn't have been moved to the left after the first 15 minutes which is the same mistake they did against Watford.

 

[RUCK4444]

When people talk about our plethora of attacking talent this guy should not be included.

Been a feckin passenger for absolute age.

Genuinely now, I’m not exaggerating, I’d give Dan James more minutes than Martial. Legit.
