Anthony Martial | Match Discussion Thread 2023/24

How much waltzing have we seen in the last 3 years? He always had great acceleration over short distances to go with his quick feet. I think that acceleration is gone.

Well it's a factor mid table teams in France have a budget and if they're going to chuck wages at a senior player like him they'll want a good return on that. Most of them will probably think it's better to go with a lower quality player who's at least fit or gamble on a young player that they might be able to sell on.

There's a whole raft of videos showing Martial's goals for United and very few does he rely on his pace - quick feet, little or no backlift, and accuracy of shot are his go-to skillset - now Marcus Rashford ....

Everybody, except for Man City has a budget.

Day after Sir Jim said no more working from home and suddenly he's turned up.

We do need him to chip in through the last few weeks the last week of the season is 3 games in a week before the cup final he's going to need to play in at least 1 of them.

Lets hope he bangs in a hat trick in the cup final

Be interested to see how fluid the top line is with him instead of Hojlund.

Martial on the left and Rasmus in the centre would be the best. Martial is not a selfish player and his close control is normally very good.
