Time will tell. I remember when he had Rooney, RVP, Di Maria, Mata, Flacoa, Januzaj and Herrera all backed by the genius LVG.
People should not get ahead of themselves.
It's not always the next season though. Sometimes it happens midseason and someetimes teams just need a break to develop solid counterplans against that player.
No... That would mean 588k a week.
Completely agree. It'll be Martial himself who decides how good a season he has. As with all young players thinking starts to replace instinct and that sometimes creates problems. See Januzaj. If there is a problem for Martial I'm sure he'd work through it pretty quick.
Not sure if serious. If you are, I wish you the best of luck getting a job where you're paid for 24 hours work, seven days a week!
I see the misconception. You calculated as if they "work" 8 hours a day, while I thought they weren't even paid by the hour, and thus multiplied it by 24. To be honest I don't have a clue what a contract looks like for footballers, thus no idea how it's calculated.
I was assuming a 40 hour week. In reality, the lucky gits probably 'work' even fewer hours.
So much more of a player's 'individual' form is down to team form than people acknowledge anyway. By far the biggest factor in whether his second season lives up to his first will be how well the team do.
Ibrahimovic playing well (and Mourinho using him properly) would be massive for Martial. For a man whose reputation is built as a 'selfish striker' type, arguably his most dangerous quality at PSG has been the way he links up with a fast forward to his left or right. He's the sort of exemplary target-man - soft touch, physical unit, perfect chest control - who draws defenders in like a magnet as the ball comes to him, and he has the skills and creativity to find a way to flick or trick that ball through to a man running in off either side. If Mou gets that working, Martial could be looking at a lot more space to work with, and more through-balls to run onto.

Man Utd 0:0 Everton (Pre-season)
Seems to be lacking match sharpness a bit.
Hopefully kicks on soon.

More than a bit. He looks very rusty.
Good ideas but lacks match sharpness.
I've got a bad feeling about him this season.
Our season depends on him delivering like last season or better. He's not at his sharpest at the moment but I hope it's just match fitness.
Me too, I think he has some huge pressure on him to try and replicate his outstanding first season.
Yeah me too. But its important he keeps up his game, we still are heavily reliant on him to beat opposition players and breakdown their defences.
Talking literally, not judging how difficult those hours are, I'd imagine they are on duty for a fair few hours. Between physical training, tactical analysis and training, team meetings, travelling, sponsor duties and charity work I'd imagine they do a full working week.
I actually have the opposite feeling. For most of our last season he is as arguably our biggest threat and was heavily marked. With guys like Ibra, Shaw, Rashford, etc and hopefully Pogba he is bound to get more space imho. Hopefully his personal life doesn't get him down too much. Seems like a shitty situation.
Doesn't look right at the moment. Even his body language seems odd. Was telling when Rooney went to the bench when he came off and Martial seemed to look miserable. Maybe the number 9 thing has got something to it...
He is a really good player and he should continue his good form.
Pressure? All eyes will be on Pogba.
It's not like he flunked last season. He has the tools and used them Last year. It's all about match fitness. He didn't play for France and only has 45 mins under his belt.
Too early to be having bad feelings.
Too early to be having bad feelings.
Why. It's just a preseason. Hasnt been playing for a while. He'll come good.
I think Mourinho is going to love him.
Not saying you are wrong, but that is brave. Putting that on the first few pages guarantees attacks all around if he has a good season, its like the Kane thread last year.
Pogba will have a positive influence on him. Especially down that left hand side.
Him and Lingard started to find those runs in the inside channel for Ibra to pick out as the half went on, promising signs.
Haven't we sold this useless waste of space yet?
Never seen a player playing so shite in a pre-season game and that's after a grand total of one week's training!
Always knew he's a complete fraud of a player and would get found out sooner or later. Just get rid before we're lucky to get 5m and let's get Aaron Lennon in!

He went past the fullback like he always does but the end-product was surprisingly poor
This guy gets it
I wouldn't have too much sympathy, he should have kept it in his pants
I think the Euros, as I've stated again, were a major waste of time for him. He had to train all the time, thus didn't rest, yet also didn't get any matches and thus confidence under his belt.
Anyways, I thought he looked better today than against Galatasaray. He, like all the offensive players, was suffering from a lack of understanding amongst one another. We could really use more preseason games.

he will come good when he's back to his fitness but it will not be a surprise if he doesn't go past player like last year, he's 20 and hardly ever any 20 years old is a consistent dribbler, needs... he will score some team goals, get his confidence and he's back, also this season it is not only up to him even though it might be one of the things which is pushing him... no I am confident he will come good
As he plays, he will go through the gears. Pogba coming will also help to motivate him. Even when Pogba comes, he's still out most important player imo. We need another one in the squad that offers what he does.
We don't have enough dribblers in the squad.

I don't think he'll be as good as in his first season, but he'll still have great moments since he has virtually no real competition.
Second season syndrome. Wouldn't be unexpected if it happens but it just proves how important it is we get a proper right winger in. I'm still not convinced by Mkhi... just don't think he is dynamic enough out wide.
Genuinely worried at how our season will go if he doesn't gain form. Miles ahead any of our players bar probably De Gea, Rashford and Pogba.
