So frustrating that the club rely on him being fit and well. Next summer a striker who can get 25+ goals and stay fit is an absolute priority.

 

[NK86]

Missed him. People can say whatever they want but we play better with him on the side.

He's made of glass, so no matter how much he may improve us when he plays, he is rarely available.
No point keeping him at the club when he cannot be trusted even as a squad option.

Hopefully we can sell him and invest that amount in a young striker who will be happy with a squad role and can grow as a player, while we also splunk some serious cash on a starter who can get us 20+ league goals.

The issue was rashford taking their whole team on and others not quite getting that final ball right
Add to that weghorst debuts after a couple games

if we’re saying this starting 11 can’t play without martial we are screwed

 

[Marwood]

But we played an alternative literally a few hours ago.

One game and that players first game. Give him a minute.

 

[croadyman]

Time to go in the summer,can't stay fit

 

[Castia]

This guy should be on the transfer list and out of the side all together he’s a complete waste of space. If he’s not injured he’s mediocre at best.

Years of absolute shite and we’re still relying on him. I think Sevilla made their mind up on him in about 3 weeks yet its like we’re always waiting for this Martial miracle to turn up and bag a 30 goal season.

Would be stupid to do that at this point

When did he become so injury prone?

Ole

Ole

Think it started under Jose

We’re lumbered with him until summer aren’t we but it‘s the first thing ETH should do when he gets the chance.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ole

Seems that way. Just checked and he actually had a decent appearance record of his first five seasons with us. Pretty poor in 19/20 and diabolical this season and last.

Agreed. After 8 years of this, I've had enough. I really hope he's sold in the summer

 

[DavelinaJolie]

This is why it was hard to get excited late in the summer when he looked good again. Unfortunately Utd need to be looking at long term options in the summer and moving Martial put.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Neh lets destroy the remaining bit of confidence of one of our 2 strikers we have in a season where we play 2 times a week every week.

 

[arthurka]

Just give it time, he will crush it on the pre season tour.

 

[Ayoba]

He'll play in exactly 3.5 matches between now and the end of the season.

 

[SmashedHombre]

The sooner he’s replaced the better. You’d imagine we need to bring in at least 2 strikers really

 

[Member 101269]

When did he become so injury prone?

17/18 it may have started
18/19 it kicked in under Jose

How can you destroy confidence in something working when it is broke?

 

[croadyman]

17/18 it may have started
18/19 it kicked in under Jose

Yeah that's when I thought as well

 

[croadyman]

Still think Wout could stay on as a backup to the starter we bring in,alternatively IF Chelsea don't take him may go for Thuram in the summer.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Bet you 50 quid he plays more than that?

 

[rk4utd]

So frustrating. Every time he gets back to fitness I think ‘come on , martial - this is the time to shine….’ Then comes the odd flash of brilliance mixed in with the body language of a sulking teenager and then the inevitable injury. Rinse and repeat.

Feels like he couldn't stay fit after first season

 

[meamth]

Expectation: the next Henry.

Reality: the next Saha

He wishes he was anywhere near close to Saha.

Saha was brilliant.

I’d kill for the next Saha.

 

[Idxomer]

Don't think he'll ever be fit for more than 2 straight months again in his career and I'm being a bit generous here.

 

[Stadjer]

Ole

If he did play while injured because Ole asked him that wouldnt have helped with his long term fitness. To a point where he now plays half a game and missed the next two.

I do believe he did play with injuries for Ole. Look at how Ole used Rashford. Ole was desperate to keep his job at all cost so asking Martial to play injured doesnt seem like a impossible thing for him to do.

A shame. Martial is a really good and talented player but his fitness is atricious.

 

[Chairman Steve]

I’d kill for the next Saha.

Louis Saha with two good knees would be a £80m striker these days.

But I wouldn’t put Martial in the same class as Saha. Saha had those injuries but he still looked a good all round striker when he was available.

Rashford, Martial and Pogba all suffered medium to long term consequences from the amateurs management.

We basically did a live experiment checking what would happen if you stick a HGV driver in a formula 1 car. That's what happens.

 

[Berbasbullet]

I withdraw this offer.

 

[Lay]

Louis Saha was so good, what a player.

 

[Nero]

Is this his 6th or 7th injury of the season?

 

[kouroux]

What is the official reason now ?

Rashford undoubtedly played long periods of games when injured.
Bur Martial? He's repeatedly missed games here and there for years hasn't he?
It was him missing games that first allowed a kid Rashford in.
