Can you get injured if you never run or train with any intensity?

That should literally be coming out of Joel Glazer's pocket, if there was any justice in the world, to allow the club to use the wages elsewhere.
I really don't think Ten Hag would allow Martial to play matches if he didn't train with any intensity.
And to answer your question, of course you can.
Have we an option on a plus 1 contract at the end of the season or is his contract expiring ?
Can’t wait to see the back of him because of the bigfat contract we gave him he’s checked out years ago .

One thing that really bothers me about Martial is how he can be subbed on in the 80th minute and then have the audacity to glance over his shoulder pointing at his teammates to join him in the press, whilst ambling along himself. Like it's not worth him breaking a sweat if it's potentially 'wasted' effort.
If everybody took this approach we'd really be in the shit.

Yes, but I think the chances of selling him in the next 18 months are pretty slim for any decent money as he's on quite high wages, I don't really think he's done enough to warrant a new contract. Possibly best not to extend at this rate.
Everton 0:3 Man Utd
Won a penalty and scored, the intensity in his play is not there but still capable of some quality. Incredible finish for his goal.
When you see his finishing you wonder where it all went wrong for him.
Lovely finish for his goal, such a shame he doesn’t put himself about a bit more!
Give Martial the ball in the box and he can conjure up some magic! He either (A) disappears or (B) creates a goal out of nothing...just hope to see more of the latter. He was not so involved today but he displayed his intelligence and made a difference for sure.
Can't stay fit and is a bit lazy. Technically he is one of the best at the club.
His goal was funny. Watch him after he lays it off in midfield. I don't think he even breaks into a sprint. Just jogs his way up into the box unimpeded.
Every now and then you still see glimpses of his class. It's a shame he became so injury prone.
Always feel a tinge of sadness these days when he comes up with a moment of quality like that, because it’s a reminder of how insanely talented he is/was, and how good he could have been if things had gone differently.
Very happy for him. The finishing is still there.
Time to revive the MMM

Never doubted him.
He's scored more PL goals than RH lol!

I guess the missus reminded Tony there's a new contract to play for.
He's lost his pace and explosiveness, and he turns like a truck now, likely due to all the injuries, but he's still got the technical quality in his game.
McT actually made a good run there to freeze the CB.
Surprisingly good performance today, deserved a goal.
Worth pointing out that our two best score line this season is with him in the starting line up.
Didn’t have the best game like the rest of the team (bar Mainoo) but came up with the goods.

People had their confirmation bias in full force claiming he didnt do anything. He won a lot of headers when the ball was blasted forward. I dont think he looked worse than Hojlund when Hojlund plays CF. It is just very hard to be a good CF in this team. Balls are blasted towards you, Rashford prefers to not pass towards you and Bruno likes to give impossible passes that often arent realistic for the striker to reach.
Certainly didnt play a perfect game and some moment i want him to do better but he ended the game with a penalty won and a goal. Decent game from Martial. Eventhough i still think he isnt anywhere near the player he should have become. Such a shame.

Don't you even dare to renew his contract!
I'm not even hearing that!

Exactly. I can't believe people seem to forget this man has been at the club 8 years +. Have to move on from him. The fact that you're judging him against this Everton team, says a lot about Martial.
His goal was great. We basically just need to keep him in the box and get him to do that. Forget anything else.
Yeah injuries are the biggest thing. Even if he wasn’t a willing presser he’d still be class with his old burst of pace and quickness
Has anyone actually suggested he get a contract?
You are spoiling the fun. Everybody knows it’s customary to invent something in your head and have a rant about it.
Lovely finish by Martial today, capped off a good performance. His hold up wasn't bad. Ball, mostly, stuck to his feet. Made good runs. If I have any criticism of him its that he should be in the box more when the ball's wide. However, if he hasn't learned that in the best part of a decade, I doubt that'll ever happen. If he can stay fit, and be a reliable source of goals, that'd help us a lot.
Goal and assist. Now lets repeat that against Galata.
Reminder from the goal that he is still one of the best in business when it comes to one-on-one situation.
Pity that we were not able to realise his potential.

Anonymous first half but at the end of the day the centre forwards job is to score.. He won a pen and scored another. Thats his job. Great finish too. Hope he can kick on.
Gary Neville calling him a diver pissed me off. A complete fabrication imo and he only does this nonsense for certain players.
Ashley Young took that bait like butterfly peacock bass.
At times genuinely smart moves without overdoing it. (I'm talking to you, Rashy
)

)Still our best finisher, in my opinion. Ice cold when he's one vs one. I actually started celebrating before he even had his shot. That's how confident I was. Goal aside, I think his hold and link play was lacking. Something he's usually good at but he was up against two physical monsters in Tarkowski and Branthwaite and I felt he struggled at times.
I counted atleast 12 instances where he was in a good position asking for the ball and never got it.
No striker at Utd will flourish if we just ignore them.

Right? He said something like his reputation preceded him. Don't remember Martial even being caught diving in his career let alone getting tagged with having a reputation.
It’s just lazy stereotyping of a player he dislikes.
