This is because his movement is poor and he recognizes it. So to get involved in the game he has to drop deep. He doesn't know how to play behind the shoulder of a defender.

I think he meant making the run after a pass for a follow up or through pass.
Pure guessing tbh from me, I think he is easing himself back into it. You talked about something he was not doing that often (pure #9 movement and instinct) when he was in a much better fitness shape.
At his age, I don't expect him to become that even if it seems so simple for us. I share the same frustration of yours but I've learned to lower my expectations with him

but this would be the best for Martial. This or Spain honestly, more so Spain.

Frustrating thing is, he always looks like he's is easing himself back into it, then gets injured.
Martial should really not be playing football. Being this injury prone is really a waste of a career
Yesterday, his two exs and mothers of his kids were involved in a car chase. I wonder what influence his personal life has had on his performances.
His personal life is as much of a car crash as his career.
When we now, due to his hold up play, are drooling over the thought of Martial starting a match for us, can you imagine what it would be like if we bought Kane? Even better hold up play in addition to world class goal scoring, leadership and actually playing every game. Priceless. Don’t tell Levy.
His movement is actually really good. Look at all the spaces he drops in to. We also don’t really play in a manner that involves someone sitting on the shoulder. Be that because we don’t have a forward to do it or we just don’t have players that take advantage of that.
Playing on the shoulder of a defender isn’t hard it’s just timing but we don’t have people that put those kinds of balls in unless it’s on a counter.
He just too often floats around the 18 yarder or deeper for me.
Rashford is kind of our guy that plays on the shoulder
Man Utd 2:0 Everton
Good to get him going again. He loves it against Everton
My boy! Daddy loves a tease.
My guy 
Martial is to Everton what Chicha was to Chelshit.
He knows where the back of the net is. It’s staying fit that’s the issue, and it’s vital he does so now with Rashford going off injured.
Please stay fit... I get nervous every time he breaks into a sprint. If he can miraculously stay fit for a few weeks while Rashford is out, then I think we'll be ok. Just don't give me Sancho - wout - Antony as a front 3.
Just stay fit.
Fantastic again. Needs to start now that Rashford is out. No more easing him in ETH.
The goal that should unlock a lot more before key matches of the season.
Stay fit and it can get interesting from now on.
Stay fit and it can get interesting from now on.
So good to have him back. Composure and link up play adds so much
Nice goal. Onward and upward.
A nice composed finish, something we lack so badly outside of Rashford.
Still a quality player, despite the revisionists on here. But looks like he's lost a yard and his body is giving up on him.
Picking up where he left off. Nice, composed finish, followed by a smile.
That composure for the finish was sick.
Having him back was a bonus but now it's absolutely vital with Rashford's injury. You never want to be reliant on Martial's fitness..
Good to see him back, nice goal to boot
Don't get injured now. Please.
Really happy for him. Now please stay fit.
He’s got such a nice touch. You look at that and how good he was when he was a teenager, and he should be one of the best players around now. I wonder if they’ve managed to build his fitness up now and he might be able to stay fit. It seems like Ten Hag has tried to start from scratch and bring him back slowly.
With Rashford probably out for a while it's going to be vital that Martial stays fit and hopefully able to play for longer than just the 30mins. Watch him be injured in the next couple days now...
Kinda feel cheated how we had to take so many Ls without Eriksen, Casemiro and Martial. Don't expect the world to feel bad for us but the league season could have been even better. We have to fix the squad situation for all those positions because their replacements were straight garbage for much of them.
Oh there’s 0 doubt we’ve been fecked by injuries along with the Case suspensions. Can’t remember but maybe one or two games that we’ve actually had our full First choice team
Now that Rashford got injured we need him to be able to play the full 90'.
Impressive from martial today, not the goal but the fact he saw his appearance out without getting injured
The footballing equivalent of thumbing in a softie.
We can survive a couple of game without Rashford if he's fit. Would be nice to have them both fit for a stretch of games, mind
Sounds awful to say but it's hard to get too excited with him because I just worry an injury is around the corner
