So sell Martial, but keep Mata & James ? I understand Diallo or Pellistri could have more minutes, but is Martial really that of a weakling in our somewhat still unbalanced side ?
If there's something our officials not saying to us and we're about to find out, perhaps even bigger rebuild than we thought, then shit's getting really interesting.
Are we getting rid of Ole, too ?
The reason I just disagree with getting Grealish is squad placement though. Bruno plays probably 85% of available minutes as our #10 over a season. Buying him for the left means we are spending 100m+ on a plan to bench rashford and ignore the rest of our problem positions... why? And it's not a guarantee that it improves us. Grealish is a terrific player but completely different in style to Rashford. And Rashford is a United kid (ignoring that there is 0 chance of it happening and no logical reason for it to happen so will never happen). So we're buying the playmaker to play on the right in Sancho. You want an inside forward opposite to him. Sancho can play either side and have Rashford or Greenwood opposite. What's the point in Grealish there? It's a waste of breath talking about Grealish unless it's instead of Sancho (which I still disagree with as Sancho has shown to be quality on the right as well, and is 5 years younger, and more proven generally with his 3 seasons at Dortmund compared to 1.5 impressive seasons for Grealish at Villa).
Somewhat reasonable during pandemic crisis. We'll have to invest in the stadium and also upgrade training facilities.
I really hope we won't need Grealish with his guaranteed brilliance and all first teamers will have a better season. If Sancho is really about 90% done deal, I think I would still want Grealish to set standards & depth even higher than City, Chelsea or Liverpool for that matter.
Then do enlighten us because you seem to know more than most around here, which only means one thing...I clearly know more than you about it, that's for sure

I am sure that a guy who is tied with Mct for goals scored will have loads here clamoring for him to be signed.
They would be saying look how good he was in 19/20 instead of writing him off. I was told Lukaku was useless on here when when we sold him too, people were happy to see him sold for peanuts.
Martial's form is dependent on too many factors indeed, but with right manager and league perhaps it can be achieved in a long run. Chelsea's Mata was superb, not anymore and James... not sure if he's big club material, he's still 23 and got heart to play intense football.
Dailymail? Indykaila?
It was the agents decision, are you saying United doesn’t offer enough?
With Rashford out we definitely still need martial.
We're going to use Martial as Mbappe chauffeur? Strange way to do business.
Martial even under the bad seasons under Mourinho everyone says he had, was better than James. James being great against tired defenses is a myth. He doesn't even utilize his speed to a level that is acceptable. I don't really see James as the same squad role of Martial anyways. Martial can play as a 9, while James can't. If Cavani goes down with injury (he's 34 years old), Martial becomes an option where as James wouldn't. James should be replaced by Diallo (of the games he plays on the right), and his minutes should be replaced by Sancho on the left.
This. 100%
C’mon man it’s clear as day. Just look at his displays this season, it’s not even a debate unless your a Tony fanboy of course.
Talent isn't worth shit, if talent doesn't work.
Not really, Martial has a similar/better scoring rate despite spending half his career here on the wing. I’d wager that his big game record is much better too.
