Yeah I agree and personally like inverted wingers, but the attack depends on full backs with real crossing quality. Shaw isnt amazing but is decent and his return might help once hes no longer needed at LB. A top quality RB would change us more than people think. It would also instantly improve whoever plays in front of him

He should shoot more. A few times he gets the ball in a decent position and chooses the technically right option by passing it.
But if you don't shoot you don't score so think he should start having a go a bit more.

It's a tough start, the boy has got something and patience is needed with him. Imo he will start to score
Big goal tonight
Still can't believe he topped off his second solo hat trick of the game by telling Fernandes to start threading him through balls or feck off.
Just a shame that we lost 6-7 but maybe next year...
He’d already have a few goals if his team mates wasn’t so greedy. There’s been many chances he’s open in the middle of the box and the winger shoots.
Man Utd 0:1 Bayern Munich
He's not ready and most likely not good enough either.
He's shite.
Horrific performance. Play him on the wing.
If you think this guy has promise you haven't a clue about football. Shite footballer.
Spent £70 million for a guy to twerk on defenders.

Was rough for him tonight, a bad performance all things considered. Hoping he'll grow from this
With that sense for positioning and movement, he is not poacher type for sure.
Bad performance. He clearly struggled, but in his defense, it was against Upamecano and KMJ. Not an easy task, especially for an inexperienced 20 year old.
We properly got our pants pulled down with him. Comically shit.
Absolutely awful again, contributed nothing
Having a hard time recently. Hard situation. Will be fine long term. But definitely getting some bruises and there's a learning curve.
Still way off being ready for us. Might never be.
Martial is better.
Martial is better.
His confidence has been well and truly drained. This was always the risk of putting all your eggs in the basket of a young inexperienced striker without a guarantee of goals from your other attacking options
Yes he doesn't get enough passes and the players around him have tunnel vision or inability to set him up, but his movement and technical level is a long way from where it needs to be.
Ideally he would be an impact sub at this stage.

Bad today. Sadly looks ruined already.
He's a 20 year old Wout Weghorst.
He's lucky that the word 'potential' will protect him for a few years yet.

Championship level player. That's how bad he is.
Looks well and truly settled now. A crap United player. Everyone turns into one after a while in the team.
He is looking worse and worse, that is the worry.
If ever a player needed a goal. Or even a sniff at one.
Just 20 touches in the game, 20 less than Onana
Worrying
I’m all for signing young talents but he’s nowhere near the level we need in a leading striker at the moment.
75m fecking quid

70m euros, crazy that we paid this for a player who doesn't show much potential, will only ever be an average player.
Sad part is that Wout was great in reading where the ball will come. But he was too slow to get there or was just shit to score.
Feel sorry for him playing with the duds behind him.
Seen enough of him now to make up my mind. No where near good enough. Seems to have lost the fight as well that he had at the start of the season. One of the many passengers in this team. But less of a problem than McT, Dalot etc
Double standards. Ones an easy target.
Knee-jerk.
His younger brother is playing in the next round and he is not..
Martial has been given endless chances, but can't even be bothered to run. Stop spouting nonsense
Min-jae and Upamecano, with Neuer sweeping behind and Goretzka mopping up in front, is as tough a defensive unit as it gets. Hojlund didn't play well but it's not a game to be basing any definitive assessments on.
The idea Martial is better is genuinely laughable.
The idea Martial is better is genuinely laughable.
Not one decent cross or ball played into the box. Chasing long balls and high balls all evening. Against 2 strong defenders and a strong midfielder in front.
You could out peak Van Nistlerooy up there and he'd look about as good as Chris Wood.

May as well stick a defender up there the way we're playing him.
Its unbelievable that the Glazers have reduced a club that over the years has been home to some many world class strikers to the point that we now have hopeless Hojlund as our main striker

I am sorry but what? Martial has some nice bits of skill but is a total waste of space, he makes zero effort in games and has been a meme for 4 years now.
