Not surprised considering how he can walk on water and heal leopards.Jesus. He even has Tony smiling.

The best thing Ole did was between 2019 and 2021 basically where he developed partnerships between Martial and Rashford, Rashford and Shaw, Bruno and Martial, and then Bruno and Rashford. We played out best football thanks to those guys. Now that we have an actual system, that's something that Ten Hag can actually use to build off of. Martial in up top and you already have all these players that click naturally. Just get a RW who clicks with them (I'm sure either Sancho or Antony would click quite well with Martial, and we'll be cooking. Hell martial already has an assist for Antony within like 10 minutes of playing with him.An in form Rashford paired with a fit Martial is going to yield some goals. Looking forward to the next few games.
Please just stay fit Anthony.
Whatever the case it's so refreshing to look forward to any games seeing the team steadily improve with a set identity. That's all I ever wanted post Fergie.
Maybe, just maybe, Ten Hag and his managment team can keep him fit.

10 minutes into the next game he starts. We really need him to stay fit and then we’ll easily finish top 4… him and rashford when both on form are unstoppable.How long before his next injury?

10 9 8 7...How long before his next injury?
he's not GodIf He stays fit we start destroying teams.
The final countdown.10 9 8 7...
Most wildly inconsistent player in our squad. Do bore off, we've had nothing but inconsistency from all of our player for almost a decade.It's scary how much hope we're placing in this guy. He's the most wildly inconsistent member of our squad, and one where there is a clear mentality issue.
He's riding the wave of a good pre-season, and a handful of good performances this season but does anyone really think he can keep that up (provided he can even stay fit)
His goal per season average (all comps) excluding this season and the one at Seville is 13, scoring one in every 3 games, and that's skewed by the anomalous season where he somehow scored 23.
That's not even a small sample size, it's six seasons worth of data.

Has he been named in the French WC squad? Or will he be taking it easy for the next couple of weeks after this one?
Won't go to the world cup, France have enough talent in attack.Has he been named in the French WC squad? Or will he be taking it easy for the next couple of weeks after this one?
Keep your negativity for when he actually performs awfully this season otherwise you're just rehashing the same boring essays written in this thread.

The squad will supposedly be announced on the 9th. France are kinda stacked in attacking positions, so it is quite possible that he won't be selected.

They're not wrong, in fairness. Very few of ours have flattered to deceive as regularly as Tony. On song he's good but the reality is that's been very infrequently.Most wildly inconsistent player in our squad.

No room for realism here then!Keep your negativity for when he actually performs awfully this season otherwise you're just rehashing the same boring essays written in this thread.
He hasn't even flattered, never mind deceived for about 2 and a half years but he's shown plenty in every game he's played since the start of pre season. We're giving everyone a chance to show what they've got under the new regime. Get with the programme.They're not wrong, in fairness. Very few of ours have flattered to deceive as regularly as Tony.

Pretty much this. Not hard to understand.He hasn't even flattered, never mind deceived for about 2 and a half years but he's shown plenty in every game he's played since the start of pre season. We're giving everyone a chance to show what they've got under the new regime. Get with the programme.

The anomalous season is the cause for optimism. It is for me anyway. Him and Rashford have shown the potential to work very well together. Obviously Martial doesn’t seem to have the stones to excel with big names competing for his place in the team but given the perfect circumstances… I mean we can all see how talented he is.
I agree that that season, along with other great periods and games he's had, is reason for optimism. I'll freely admit that I always tend towards optimism though.
I am not sure "having stones" is the problem with Martial. When United signed him, I read a long feature on him and his former coaches all said that he was a very laid-back character. One said something along the lines of him having the attitude of "If I play well and score, that's good. If I don't...well,there's the next game." I took that to mean he is not a person who will buckle down and be hell-bent on making things happen for him. It seems to me, he has struggled in the past to be in the right place mentally but that when he is, he performs very well.
Would SAF have been able to get him firing more consistently? I think so.
OK, I may have taken some linguistic liberties there to make a point. Allow me a little artistic license, Pogue.Ok, now you’re making me overthink that phrase. What does it even mean? Who’s flattering who?
