We absolutely do miss the unselfish link up play, ability to not lose the ball facing his own goal and the 17 goals and 6 assists he offered in 31 appearances back in 19/20. That Martial would walk into this side and make us a better team. Well it wouldn’t because we don’t operate a meritocracy but in theory it should. Hopefully he can go find that Martial.

I don’t understand the hate
He needs to play and get his mojo back and he needs to get in the World Cup squad
Good luck to him

Good move for him, and maybe for us. I do think the time for him to move on has certainly come. Hope he does well over there and they (or someone else) comes up with a decent fee in the summer that we can reinvest elsewhere. Nice reduction in costs for now too. Would be nice to get a few more out as well before the window closes.
Has the talent to be one of the best which just makes his complete lack of work ethic so frustrating.
He had his good spells but it only ever took a couple of games to not go his way for his head to drop and to start looking uninterested again.
Will be remembered for that debut goal against Liverpool and what could have been.

Never reached his full potential, bits and pieces only! Wish him all the best
It's best not to rationalise anything this club does, jokers in charge appointing more jokers
Next up on the crap carousel: 5 year contract for Ronaldo, Rice for £120m, the next AWB for £50m.

I’ll never understand how some fans can produce this level of hate to one of their own players. Very weird.
We don’t need sulkers and disrupters like this guy in this already fragile squad. He was a talented player for us a good few years ago and had a couple of decent enough goal scoring seasons. I mean I was a signed up member of Martial FC all those years ago. But he’s been down right average the past 18-24 months. He’ll probably do ok in la liga given his natural talent and hopefully we get a decent enough fee for him in the summer to reinvest in the squad.
Because 70% of “fans” on here have the memories of a fecking goldfish. He had an injury hit and poor season in front of goal last year and hasn’t had a chance this year after recovering from the knee injury. That clearly means he’s been shit for decades. It’s a good loan deal for everyone.
Wondering how many he'll score there... Uno, dos, tres, cuatro...?
I imagine it comes from literal children or children stuck in adult bodies. I'd love to see Martial regain his form and get selected for the World Cup.
When he scored that goal against Liverpool I thought he is our lord and savior. Next Rooney, next Ronaldo or something even a bit different... And then came that bitch called mediocrity. There were few flashes of brilliance here and there, but nothing to rave about.
I wish him well.
I wish him well.
Is he definitely not going to sign? Seems ridiculous to let a player like that go for nothing. I couldn't believe we did it with Wijnaldum.
Delete this before someone from management sees it. Only United would bite on signing a 36 year old player on insane wages.
The whole Idea of signing players so we can be fluid and press as a team gone out the window because management panicked. The same management that thought it was smart bringing mourinho when its whole Identity over the years was to attack. Then its fans wondering why its best players careers keep stalling and stagnating.
He could have played a role here given how poor the team has been or the players ahead of him, but this is a much better option for him and for United's ability to eventually sell him. He's going to a very competitive team that's actually fighting for a league title, I hope he does well and can find his way, I can even see him having a great second half of a season, what I have yet to see from him, since the start of his career, is following up on his good spells and being more consistent. At his age, I'm not sure we'll see that but anything is possible and I wish him the best.
Ronaldo's still here mate
Makes me sad this. There’s a proper top player in there somewhere, just haven’t been able to get it out of him here. Best of luck to him, hope he kills it so we get a huge fee for him in the summer.
Thanks for the memories Tony.
Thanks for the memories Tony.
He’s talking about Rice.
Sometimes it takes chopping it up in a different league for players to find their form. Perhaps Martial is more suited to La Liga.
Delighted for him to finally get his big career move
Hope he smashes it and either comes back ready to fight for his place or we get a good price for him.Talented player just lazy.
The brightside is you might get to watch him actually play football. Rather than just getting to see him all zipped up sat on the bench. It's sunny in Seville, so you might also get a flash of a knee or even see his hands without gloves on.
I wonder if we’ll be in for Isak to stop Arsenal getting him, be a very Man Utd thing to do..
Think he will come back as a brilliant player. Not sure if we would keep him though. Hope we do - there aren't enough strikers at the moment.
All of which is far less relevant than the player you see today. You'd be hard pressed to name another first choice united striker that had a worse season than he did last season.
Hopefully he goes there and learns a work ethic and how to make a run. Not having to sign a striker would be fantastic but i won't hold my breath.
Ballon d'or clause activated yet?? I remember when fans and even Gary and Phil Neville was gushing about martial being one of the best attacker in world football.
He had potential, which is sad to see that he never lived up to it consistently. He had one or two good season though.

Nobody hates him. Unless of course you view wanting him gone as hate.
He seems to have limitless potential. I hope he does well and comes back to United stronger and more driven.
Such a weird thing to mock the club aboutYou do realise we're not paying Monaco for every season he's not winning the ballon d'or, right?
The point is he is chronically inconsistent and has been shite for the last 18 months. So citing stats from when he was last good is quite irrelevant
He will win the la liga with them. Hope we have a clause for that.
I think that’s the main misconception about him. LVG was a discipline freak and Martial looked like a world class talent under him. During the time period under Ole when we actually pressed with intensity and played with a strategy, he had his best spell for us. Even under toxic manager like Mourinho Martial scored goals whenever called upon. Young players desperately need to be told exactly what to do on the field and the training pitch and Martial, along with our other young players, has been deprived of that. I hope he will realize his potential under a good manager.
There was nothing wrong with his all round play last season. He lost confidence in front of goal but in numerous games he was exceptional - hence why the team as a whole scored plenty. Go rewatch his performance during Leeds at home - he didn’t score but he was brilliant.
This. Good memories, good player. Wish him well.
I mean he was probably our best player in the lockdown season but sure nothing to rave about. Also carried us the LVG year.
Tony and Lamela in the same team ? that should be "fun"
Yeah. He hasn’t played for 6 months and was injured for the 5 months prior so suddenly that 18 months looks like hyperbolic nonsense. He also wasn’t “shite” - he was “shite” in front of goal and totally lost confidence but he was very good in numerous games by linking play together - you know - for the benefit of the team. I know we’re not an actual team these days so it’s probably hard to remember.
Bloody weird take this.
Yeah no, not going to argue with that level of crazy.
