He is only 23 too, already a tremendous player and can become even better.
He got subbed because he was tired, not because he was shit.
"Marco Verratti is an extraordinary footballer," the World Cup winner told reporters in Paris on Wednesday. "He's on a level similar to the best players at Barcelona.
"His game is a bit like the game I played at Barcelona and with the Spanish national team.
"He shines in both the short and long play. He is good with the final pass. He also rarely loses the ball. This is a very high level of player.
"He's showing this at PSG, where he's had some fantastic seasons.
"There are few players as strong as Marco Verratti in midfield. He is currently one of the best in the world."
Hehe. What does the most monied club in the world want with more money?Break the bank

Would definitely love Veratti over Pogba. He's got everything - absolutely everything you would want from a midfielder.
You still don't get it do you? Perhaps I need to be much more clear.Yea your definitely a WUM. I'm not arguing that Martial is better than Messi and resorting to petty name calling shows your level of intelligence. I'm not getting into a debate (not an argument) over whos better. Messi is better hands down but to write Martial off before his career has even began is narrow minded. Going by your reasoning all players should give up now as they will never be half the player Messi is.
Ronaldo didn't start his consistency until he was 22-23 so Martial has a couple of years to develop before then. Messi was performing at a high level at that age and I'm not disputing that Messi most likely will be better than Martial can ever be as him and Ronaldo are freaks of the game. But Martial can put in the extra hours of training and become close to it himself, he already displays the calmness and confidence on the ball its all about consistency and maintaining it.
If I'm being really pedantic then Suarez and Bale didn't come from La Liga.
Coman had a better season than martial?!?!?!? What? No player around the same age had a better season than martial unless you mean trophywise. Martial had the better statistics when you compare both players. Martial was miles more efficient. Martial is levels above coman right now. Usually when people want to say something nice about this coman fella they refer to the famous juventus game. I watched that game and although he provided the spark to beat Juventus he was bang average. I remember him trying to always cut to the right repeatedly without any success. It's like thats the only thing he can think of when faced with the opportunity to be creative. I don't want to dwell to much given this sia verratti thread but you guys seriously need to hop off this coma bandwagon. He might have potential but he is seriously feeding off the good efforts of his teammates. The only thing he has going for him which I admire is his explosiveness and directness on the ball which martial sometime lacks.
A separate thread has been created to keep this crap out of here. Use it.You still don't get it do you? Perhaps I need to be much more clear.
It is not that I don't think Martial won't become a great player, it is just that Messi is just too great of a player. Being half the player Messi is relatively hall of fame status. I am not putting him down, I am just giving you the reality of a quite simple situation. Messi is an ultra mega star who can change the game and instantly elevate the status of any team for a bare minimum of 4-5 years before he finally comes back to earth. Having a guy like him on our team would instantly make players around us better and push us instantly into a CL contending team every single year, especially when we would be adding new pieces to the team. Can you say Martial or any other WC forward at the moment has that level of pull or greatness as Messi does? No you can't.
It really irks me when people say he did well in this part blah blah blah. What happened to the whole aspect of the game? Is champions league the only games he took part in? I've watched him in countless games where bayern just hold onto so much possession and win 2-0 at the end. he does the exact same thing which I mentioned in my earlier post. He is a good player but is not on martial level. It also isn't fair on martials part given he did well in the chamions league but his teammates fell way short. if you're going to compare performances why don't you use the whole picture if he is so good. Martial was notable in all competitions he played in and left his mark.Coman made an impact in the Champions League. Martial did not.
It's okay to admit you've not watched Coman much, if at all.. because it's abundantly clear by your post.
Is there any chance of this happening? Probably the best player in his position in the right age.
We made an approach but...
Bouhafsi is as good as a club statement, at least it shows we're going all out for a top class CM. Can imagine us being all over Kroos if Madrid get Pogba.

Martial scored 2 goals in 6 CL games, both of which were very important goals for United. It's not really his fault the rest of his team let him down and he couldn't play past the group stage.Coman made an impact in the Champions League. Martial did not.

We couldn't get the ball off him.
Juninho Paulista was great at Middlesboro and was only 5'6" (runner-up for FWA PoTY behind Gianfranco Zola (also 5'6") in '97) - so not far off.Would Verratti be the smallest ever centre mid to play in the Premiership? He's 5'5" and 9 stone. Smaller even than Leon Britton, the lads tiny which makes his ability all the more impressive.

This.What a waste.
Considering where he is, easily Verratti. It's not possible to take a player from PSG unless they specifically want to get rid of him.Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?
Verratti. The rumours of Pogba moving away from Juve have always been strong. Plus he comes across as the flashy type. Granted, I know little about Veratti's personality. And then there's PSG's wealth.Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?
Verratti, always.Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?

Verratti. He's content there, and PSG are rich.Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?
I never thought we could get Veratti. I never thought even Madrid could get Veratti.Rewind back to before the Pogba rumors even started, who would we have thought as the more difficult/unbelievable getouttahere- transfer? Veratti or Pogba?
