Quite rightly too.He’ll be warming the bench for a good share of the season .
Ronaldo won’t be dropped
Hopefully he'll understand this is the last train for him to get the career on track. He has tools, he has a talent, he just needs to put his head into it finally.
Maybe he'll adapt his game or something. Or with ETH will kick on and find those tools again. We'll see.trouble is he used to have the tools, we haven’t seen those toolsin a long time. I can’t remember when we last saw him fly at speed, or dribble with quick feet?

All touches vs Liverpool
This is a great video not only cause of Martial but to see our overall play. He kept it simple and efficient throughout the game, no dilly dallying on the ball, one touch football, 2 touches at most. Pass and go forward or open yourself for a pass.
Well it is preseason so regarding touches its to be expected. Maybe I'm seeing what I want to see but if anything he looked well up for it and not his usual moping around self.I like your positivity tbh. To me looked one paced, looked v average, his touches were on and off. Even his goal there was no acceleration which surprised me. Let’s hope he finds something, as he is painful to watch if he is as poor as he has been. At least this game was some kind of positive
He took the ball off a Liverpool player about 5 times in that little clip. That would indicate a change of paceI like your positivity tbh.

I just love how the football gets stuck to him like he was made by glue.
Its just something I really enjoying watching.
Didn't watch the game but if that video really shows all of his touches, then his touch was not on and off. Apart from the dribble that didn't come off at the end he literally handles the ball perfectly every single time. Great acceleration for the goal, to keep a defender away like that while carrying the ball requires a great burst of pace.I like your positivity tbh.

Martial always thrived when the team played one touch football. But last season he just looked very unfit, he lost pace and was heavier and rigid in his movement. The last game did show that hes recovering some of it back but in very cautious in jumping to conclusion
There’s been plenty of times to be critical of Martial but the Liverpool game certainly isn’t one. It’s a strange example to choose. He was excellent all 45 mins he played. Especially his off the ball work. He’s pressing and high intensity in the humid heat of Thailand. We couldn’t even get him to do that in comfortable temperatures!I like your positivity tbh.

Him and Ronnie dovetailing and interchanging on the left and through the middle is deadly. Hopefully ETH's system will enable them to be effective when defending. Rashford, if he gets back to his previous form, is a good player to come off the bench. We do need at least 1 more high-quality forward with the new 5-sub rule.Martial FC reporting for duty.
I predict he'll displace Rashford at LW in a few weeks.

In the 1st half against Liverpool, I thought our front 3 were pretty fluid and interchangeable.His movement and game is more suited for CF position. He barely makes outside runs when played as LW. His hold up play and ability to link up with Bruno means he should play as CF.

Worse still about that article is that United now believe we don't have to invest in attack as Martial is making a comeback this year, after one average performance against a poor Liverpool reserves team. Martial FC is one of the most bizzare things about united fans, he had one good season in five and our fans seem to adore him.

Can say the same for the whole team.If looking better against that Liverpool starting line-up is justification for ignoring the last years of useless play and starting him in games ahead of getting someone in, we're probably in trouble.
