Meaning he will have to go sooner or later and we don't really need him this season. We are pretty much packed for our front line.How does that help us this season? We'll be down to aging Cavani who has to be rotated every other game, a young Greenwood who is probably more suited to wide right for the time being, and an injured Rashford who again plays best out on the left.
A sunday tabloid reporting that Spurs want Martial for £50m (Utd asking price allegedly). £50m? I'd bite their hands off at that price.
You see him bother running much there?He will do well at Spurs and will be apt replacement for Kane. I bet he will be another case that shows how much fans underappreciate the talent we have here at United and he will go on to do well over there and secure a big money moves later to a big club
Disagree completely. If you think about it logically, Greenwood will have to start the season on the right wing and Sancho on the left because Rashford is injured for a while, with Cavani up top. And then factor in Cavani needs resting every other game, and we're liable to pick up other injuries along the way, there's no way we should let Martial go without replacing him.Meaning he will have to go sooner or later and we don't really need him this season.

Greenwood will be playing thru the middle more often than not this season. This has always been a plan. Ole will give him the chance to become a CF this season. Not to mentioned Martial does not really do well with rotation.
Surely a week behind would mean the same condition everyone else was in against Derby. Was just curious as I (wrongly) assumed he’d be back for the start of pre season.
I don't know what you are disagreeing with. The fact that Greenwood will be tried in the middle more ( of course, he will have matches where he plays from right - which is an asset) or Martial not responding well to rotation.Disagree completely.

That was the brief from Utd that Greenwood would play understudy to Cavani if they signed a right winger.Meaning he will have to go sooner or later and we don't really need him this season. We are pretty much packed for our front line.

So why isn't he doing it here then?He will do well at Spurs and will be apt replacement for Kane. I bet he will be another case that shows how much fans underappreciate the talent we have here at United and he will go on to do well over there and secure a big money moves later to a big club
I'm disagreeing we should have no worries going into the season with such threadbare attacking options. Ole doesn't trust most of these squad players, his refusal to make subs in the Europa final demonstrated this. We didn't have a single player to come on and change the game. Saying we have Dan James and so don't need a replacement for Martial fills no one with confidence other than you. Lingard and Pogba are far more likely to leave than Martial.I don't know what you are disagreeing with.

And, you could always start James on the left or right if Rashford will be out for awhile. Not to mentioned the likes of Lingard, Pogba if he stays can do a job on the left. And, there is Amad.
Having Cavani, Martial and Greenwood for one spot looks great but none will be happy and one is known to sulk if he gets rotated. So, there is not much benefit to having all 3. That's being logical.
There are a lot of ifs in your post. Of course, shite happens but we can't keep a bloated squad around. More importantly, good players don't respond well to being rotated. Squad players will be used when necessary.I'm disagreeing we should have no worries going into the season with such threadbare attacking options.

Cavani, Rashford, Sancho and Greenwood will be just 4 players senior first team players for the front 3 spots who Ole actually trusts. Of those, Cavani needs to be constantly rested and Rashford is injured for months. Any injury problems and we'd be screwed.
He has not been to bad here. He won our player of season the season before last one. I believe it has to do with how the managers utilizes him. Martial shouldn’t be used as a traditional no 9, but rather as a false 9. Regardless, same question could be asked Depay, Lingard, pogba, Lukaku, and so on.So why isn't he doing it here then?

Sell him the sooner the better. Doesn't have the mentality and drive to go with the talent. The longer we wait we are just delaying inevitable. He will never be good enough.Martial tearing it up for the Spuds?? Feck, no!
That fecker's going to do what he's always done at United...sit the haters down! No way should we be getting rid of Martial.
fixedMartial tearing it up for the Spuds?? Feck, no!
That fecker's going to do what he's always done at United...ponce about, play well for a bit, then face some adversity and crumble like a hooker punched by a fat man
He will have the odd great game to convince everybody that he is great, only to be mediocre for the next 6 gamesMartial will tear apart the Bundesliga. He is still very good player(but in a bad form) and in ultra atacking team like BVB he will excel. 40-50 mln is normal price for him especially if he is sold to league rival like Tottenham.
Lump him in with Jones... Free to a good home.Any luck yet? Should we create an Ebay listing?

He has proven over the course of several seasons he wont have the right attitude and if he does it will last for a few months max. He is one of our top earners and a senior player in this squad and his attitude and performances are often garbageI'd also keep him. Still has a lot to offer. I hope he he has the right motivation for the upcoming season.

Sadly he has been very inconsistent yes. But with Rashford undergoing a major operation he might be valuable for our squad.
He scored 4 league goals in 22 games.He was on fire before his injuries. When was the last time Rashford tore it up too? But he never gets the same stick.

Rashford doesn’t always tear it up, but I have never once doubted his commitment or effort in games.
Rashford has scored 56 goals and had 37 assists in the last three years. Martial has 42 goals and 24 assists in that time. Who’s been the one tearing it up? If you don’t think Rashford gets stick you don’t pay much attention. If it’s true that he doesn’t, there’s a good reason for it. He’s a better player.He was on fire before his injuries.
