Martial is fan more active than RVN was. Ruud did score the occasional goal from outside the box or had the occasional run at a defence (Fulham as you point out, what a goal that was BTW) but he was at his very best in the 18. Martial looks like he doesn't mind playing centrally or coming from a wide position. Running at and dribbling past players looks like something we will see often.
The thing that sort of ruins the goal for me is the positioning of the keeper. Dreadful! Makes the finish look really tame. RVN is my favourite United player ever. Only player's name I have ever got on the back of a shirt.
I think it's probably still early to know what type of striker he is. Right now, I would compare his style of finish more to Henry. I know he was never our player, but his cool attitude in the 18 is very reminiscent of Henry. We definitely have a gem here as we all watch him develop. No wonder all major clubs were quietly following him. Also remember, he scored some 32 goals in 21 games for Under-17. If he is anything close to that tally at the senior level, we are in for amazing years ahead. Shaw, Martial, Memphis, Damien, De Gea, Herrera and that Amazing Pereira guy!.. All under 25!! Oh yes, I am very excited about Pereira. He needs to be in the squad now already. Overall, I love what LVG is building for us. The next manager would inherit a great team.
That what he said. He is building a team for the next manager. He is not staying, not would I want him to!
Ok, ok he's good ok probably a bargin at that price a very talented youngster who may well be a worldie in the future. Now give it a rest!
Why is it boring? Because you're bored of watching replays of Martial's 4 goals in 4 matches? Or you're bored of going few days without another same ol' same Martial's coolness?
He's so predictable its beyond boring now. And he doesn't even care, show some emotion for god sake you boring twat. Just scorers and is like "yeh, wot". Kids these days, no respect.
The manager should be teaching him how to smile. That's his job after all. The fact van Gaal goes around grinning like a Cheshire cat while Martial looks like his missus has just told him she's oregnata, with octuplets is clearly Woodward's fault. II think were going to have to bring the smiler in on this one. That's if Alton Towers will allow Dwight Yorke the time out.
The pundits as I predicted slowly but steadily revising their opinion. Waste of money and flop which were in every newspaper a few weeks ago turning into something different Talk about heaping pressure on his young shoulders: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-united-striker-anthony-martial-6562676 At least he is less and less likely to be the new Bebe
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-united-were-outbid-anthony-6560881 "Monaco have revealed that a mystery club offered MORE than Manchester United for Anthony Martial this summer. The same club also offered to loan back the player to Monaco for one season before he completed a permanent switch." Didn't realise Chelsea had tried to outbid us #loansharks
Buy him and then loan him back. Sounds like Chelsea's way of doing business. That has to be the worst club in the world. They would rather sabotaged transfers to ensure their rivals never get a young player, only to loan them back. They messed up badly with De Bruyne.
CFC to the FFP in pure panic mode. He's worried ****less their greatest ever legend, the one who left under humiliating circumstances, will be coming to us to be successful
Sounds like you are the one panicking. I hope Jose stays in the pRem (bar Spurs). He is good box office
