I would be fine with Martial, my problem is his salary and the potential income we could get from selling him. He has a lot of technical skills, but he really doesn't know how to use it in my opinion. For example in the Chelsea game, he did a good job of getting himself in a situation to shoot, but hit wide off the mark because he is sooo uncomfortable shooting with his left and doesn't know how to shift effectively to his favored right foot. Martial is good at dribbling, but does not make the right runs to make those bursts effective. He is good at one twos in tight spaces, yet lacks the vision and passing technique to make the final pass. In addition to this and because of this, it has really been difficult to find a role for him in the team. I would love for him to at least try and see how he would look on the right flank and potentially save us money, but I know he won't even consider this option. He isn't creative enough to be a false 9, does not have the off the ball movement to be a poacher and has limited holding up ability for a target man/complete forward. Every striker needs needs to be decent at all of those things and really good at one. On the flanks, his unwillingness to track back makes him somewhat of a liability. In addition to this, he never attempts to get to the byline, he is so one footed that it stops him from providing the team with suitable width. He also lacks vision and passing technique so cannot be di maria or ribery where he creates from deep on the wing. As an inside forward, he does not make the runs that rashford and sterling make. When you combine all of these factors, it makes him a difficult fit for any team.
. Give him a bit of time, he's on course to have his best ever scoring season for the club and we were not exactly blessed with creativity. He's going to be a 20+goals a season striker (without pens), i have no doubt about it.
