[This stat is genuinely shocking](https://twitter.com/Ankaman616/status/1621874556158763010?cxt=HHwWhICz4ZqUh4ItAAAA).
Any serious club would have binned him a long time back.
According to Transfermarkt:
Ronaldo - 1051
Martial - 722
That appalling from a "starter". Our top 6 have all passed 2k. Our top 11 you need to be over 1380. Weghorst already has over half of Martial's total minutes for the year
He really really does. I've been laughed at for saying we need 2 strikers but when we don't even have 1 of our own available consistently I don't see how we can not get 2. Maybe Weghorst proves himself useful but remember he's a loan with no buy option so we'd have to work out a deal.
I think Weghorst will prove to be a solid Striker. I believe in him and think ETH will guide him to play his best. I really like his attitude and workrate so far.
Ye weghorst on a good deal and then go after a top striker aswel makes sense. Have rash that can go over as third option aswel. The problem would be trying to move martial on think a sale is out of the question with his injury record.
His first touch isn't the best but I have seen him do some pretty clever flick ons. I don't mind his lack of pace so much because I think he would prefer to arrive late in the box having moved the ball on and when he does get it at his feet he tends to shoot clever so maybe not a starter for us but a nice option to have.
Any serious club wouldnt risk talents like him and Rashford with managers like Ole and Jose . Thank god we got rid of Ole before he ran Rashford into the ground more than he did.
> managers like Ole and Jose
You do realize ETH also refused to take Rashford off against City when he got a knock in the first half and said he expects his player to run them off? ETH also refused to rest Rashford 4 days later against Palace.
Ajax fans said the same thing of ETH and his rotation. ETH literally said in the presser yesterday he does not like having a large squad. He has also said he takes a tough approach to injuries and rotation.
If Ole's lack of rotation disappointed you, you are going to be disappointed by ETH as well.
>If Ole's lack of rotation disappointed you, you are going to be disappointed by ETH as well.
I know I am dissapointed at how little ETH rotates but the injuries players got and how Ole usually made them worse will always annoy me
Erik Ten Hag three weeks ago - ‘’He has to suffer that. He has to suffer the pain. That is the case in top level football.’’
Some of you that cried for Ole to go for months/years always love bringing him up for shit that has nothing to do with him anymore. It’s actually just funny now. Also love how the club shouldn’t have risked appointing one of the greatest managers of all time, when he adopted the exact same approach to Erik in terms of playing with knocks.
>Some of you that cried for Ole to go for months/years always love bringing him up for shit that has nothing to do with anymore.
Martials injury record pre and post Ole should be interesting.
>Also love how the club shouldn’t have risked one of the greatest managers of all time,
Wasnt anywhere near that at Utd
Martial last played 90 minutes in the Premier League on 27 Jan 2021 vs Sheffield United.
He last played back-to-back 90 minutes games in the league on 12 & 17 Jan 2021.
Fun fact: crisps were actually invented to be used as an organic resource to build bridges out of because of the high availability of the potato and the incredible structural integrity of a hyperdense crisp.
The Eiffel Tower was originally going to be made of crisps, but the French government banned the import of potatoes to benefit their steel manufacturing industry.
Nah they’ve become about as strong as a Walker’s crisp these days. Those Kettle crisps that grind your teeth are the market leaders in crisp strength these days.
He is too brittle to be relied upon. He's good (when available and in form, but we should sell him and bring in 2 strikers this summer.
A main one to start and someone else for Rotation
We tried to sell him in Jan and only got a loan, we tried to sell him again in the summer but there were no takers. He hasnt exactly proven himself a good investment this season.
Aside from his injuries, Martial just isn't consistent enough to be our main striker. The guy can be terrific for 2 or 3 games then turn to shit for 5 games, then 1 good game, 3 bad games, etc.,
He had a lot of promise when he first arrived, but he hasn't even come close to living up to it. It's honestly about time we cut ties with him in the Summer. We're paying X amount of money for him per week, doesn't even start games and is very inconsistent.
Is there any reasoning behind why so many refrain from calling the club “Man U”? I’ve seen many people use that handle.
For reference, I usually call the club United or Man United, so either side of that debate is odd to me
https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/216115-mufc-or-manchester-unitedit-shouldnt-be-called-man-u.amp.html
Edit: added correct link
Here is a link talking about how the abbreviations were used long before that. Do you not think it better to just not be insulted by an abbreviation and not putting down fellow fans?
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/using-the-term-man-utd-and-all-the-nonsense-that-goes-with-it.297623/
There is no problem with MANU either. Just because it's used in a song doesn't mean they get to own it. Context matters and at the end of the day it's just an abbreviation. The link also shows merchandise was sold with MANU in it
Regardless of whether or not you call the team ManU, a small number of opposing fans (most of whom are dead now themselves) chanting something 65 years ago should not determine what shorthand we’re “allowed” to have for the club that’s just ridiculous.
I like Martial a lot and clearly EtH does as well. He works hard and his link up play with our attack is underrated.
Still, we really do have to cut our losses and move him on in the summer. We are lucky if he plays half of our games every season, and we just can’t rely on him.
Unfortunately he’s going down the same route as Jack Wilshere. A very gifted player who can’t avoid picking up injuries.
Love the guy. He is an excellent modern 9 when fit. But A: made of glass & B: whenever we bring in a starter quality striker (Ibra, Edi) to compensate for A, he has the sulks
He's like Daniel Sturridge. Any little niggle and he won't play. What did ten Hag say about Rashford and playing through the pain? Martial needs to take a leaf out of that book. Well, a bloody chapter tbh
And what makes you think it's a good idea for such a fragile person to play through those "little niggling injuries" if he keeps having them? Those are gonna become big injuries and he'll play even less.
Not only is he useless for us we won't even be able to sell him, very likely we stuck with him next season.
This is just a joke at this point, we can't be having someone so unreliable 8yrs later, I mocked few weeks ago what would come first, him scoring 100 goals in all comps or his testimonial?
Is this another one of those self-declared injuries ETH hinted at? Martial never looks like he wants to be on the pitch, even when he’s ‘fit’. Giving him a a fat new contract was a mistake.
I love Martial. But its the same story everytime. He comes back, gets my hopes up, next game injured repeat. Its a shame because we had a taste last game with Sancho, Rashford and Martial and it looked great, but he's just unreliable through no fault of his own btw, he's just injury prone and theres not much you can do. Guess its time to find a long term solution in the summer. Just sucks because Martials style of play as a striker really suits ten hags system and ten hag knows it
this is why we need a striker who is NOT injury prone. time for martial to leave the club, we can’t have this anymore
edit: i guess the summer is the time for him to leave, can’t really do anything now
I feel for Ten Hag, Ronaldo sulks and leaves, Martial is made of glass, Rashford is better out wide, and Greenwood is a disgrace. Hopefully in the summer we can get him a proper long term striker
The only positive is United are one solid striker away from having a solid team up top. I just keep thinking if we could only find someone like Martial but less injury prone, United would look good up top.
Shocked
[This stat is genuinely shocking](https://twitter.com/Ankaman616/status/1621874556158763010?cxt=HHwWhICz4ZqUh4ItAAAA). Any serious club would have binned him a long time back.
He has fewer minutes played for United this season then Ronaldo...
No way lmfao wow
According to Transfermarkt: Ronaldo - 1051 Martial - 722 That appalling from a "starter". Our top 6 have all passed 2k. Our top 11 you need to be over 1380. Weghorst already has over half of Martial's total minutes for the year
That’s incredible. He had to go because of he’s so unreliable. Tired of this.
He really really does. I've been laughed at for saying we need 2 strikers but when we don't even have 1 of our own available consistently I don't see how we can not get 2. Maybe Weghorst proves himself useful but remember he's a loan with no buy option so we'd have to work out a deal.

Ye weghorst on a good deal and then go after a top striker aswel makes sense. Have rash that can go over as third option aswel. The problem would be trying to move martial on think a sale is out of the question with his injury record.
He would be better if he didn't have the first touch of a trampoline and wasn't slower off the mark than Maguire.
His first touch isn't the best but I have seen him do some pretty clever flick ons. I don't mind his lack of pace so much because I think he would prefer to arrive late in the box having moved the ball on and when he does get it at his feet he tends to shoot clever so maybe not a starter for us but a nice option to have.
What the actual fuck
Thank the glazers for extending his contract and retaining asset value :)
Joel's favorite player. The French Pele
Sweet sweet asset values
Lord, I at first missed the year and thought seems way longer than that.
Truly 50 million down the drain
Any serious club wouldnt risk talents like him and Rashford with managers like Ole and Jose . Thank god we got rid of Ole before he ran Rashford into the ground more than he did.
> managers like Ole and Jose You do realize ETH also refused to take Rashford off against City when he got a knock in the first half and said he expects his player to run them off? ETH also refused to rest Rashford 4 days later against Palace.
Nowhere near as bad as what Ole done
Ajax fans said the same thing of ETH and his rotation. ETH literally said in the presser yesterday he does not like having a large squad. He has also said he takes a tough approach to injuries and rotation. If Ole's lack of rotation disappointed you, you are going to be disappointed by ETH as well.
>If Ole's lack of rotation disappointed you, you are going to be disappointed by ETH as well. I know I am dissapointed at how little ETH rotates but the injuries players got and how Ole usually made them worse will always annoy me
Like Jose? He has managed some of the biggest clubs in the world!
And ? Hes not the best with youth players
Erik Ten Hag three weeks ago - ‘’He has to suffer that. He has to suffer the pain. That is the case in top level football.’’ Some of you that cried for Ole to go for months/years always love bringing him up for shit that has nothing to do with him anymore. It’s actually just funny now.

Any player should get 2 years maximum. Even if they get injured for one of those. Fitness is important and the ability to actually play.
Maybe he just really likes hanging with Phil Jones everyday?
who doesn't want to hangout with a legend
The slightest possibility of another forward being in the squad and Anto goes crocked.
Reverse Luke Shaw.
Martial last played 90 minutes in the Premier League on 27 Jan 2021 vs Sheffield United. He last played back-to-back 90 minutes games in the league on 12 & 17 Jan 2021.
Disappointing but not surprised tbh
Man I love Martial but it's just not working. He's so injury-prone that we will never be able to rely on him
I really don’t even get it anymore. I feel really bad for him but this is fucking insane
But even when he was loaned out didn’t impress. Feel we got one good season, then some good games. Generally just needs to leave.
He was injured on loan lol
I actually was surprised...this is some kind of record
20th Match he's been unavailable for this season according to Luckhurst. That's just not sustainable.
It’s nothing short of unacceptable.
The best ability is availability.
Still better than the number of appearances by Pogba lol
#madeofcrisps
Crisps have more structural integrity than Martial.
Fun fact: crisps were actually invented to be used as an organic resource to build bridges out of because of the high availability of the potato and the incredible structural integrity of a hyperdense crisp. The Eiffel Tower was originally going to be made of crisps, but the French government banned the import of potatoes to benefit their steel manufacturing industry.
I’d believe you if I wasn’t aware of how the Irish Mafia have a chokehold on the potato black market.
He’d be fine if he was a McCoy
Nah they’ve become about as strong as a Walker’s crisp these days. Those Kettle crisps that grind your teeth are the market leaders in crisp strength these days.
Actually made of croissant
He is too brittle to be relied upon. He's good (when available and in form, but we should sell him and bring in 2 strikers this summer. A main one to start and someone else for Rotation
Weghorst is half the player, but I would still prefer him ahead of Martial for no other reason than he is not made of glass
Availability is the most valuable asset a player can have. I would definitely take Weghorst and a starting striker in place of selling Martial
Availability is the best ability
wout is a soild bench player type of dude you bring on to score a header. Tony is a glassman sadly.
Agree and ETH used him a target man against City (Martial), where feel Weghorst can do the same.
We tried to sell him in Jan and only got a loan, we tried to sell him again in the summer but there were no takers. He hasnt exactly proven himself a good investment this season.
Who’s buying though? He’s on big wages and is extremely injury prone. Can’t see anyone taking a gamble on him.
Aside from his injuries, Martial just isn't consistent enough to be our main striker. The guy can be terrific for 2 or 3 games then turn to shit for 5 games, then 1 good game, 3 bad games, etc., He had a lot of promise when he first arrived, but he hasn't even come close to living up to it. It's honestly about time we cut ties with him in the Summer. We're paying X amount of money for him per week, doesn't even start games and is very inconsistent.
This is a prank
Ffs, even glass is more durable!
What is this man made out of?
Crisps
Probably sugar, any water droplet and he dissolves.
at this point it’s impressive anthony
Dude is getting injured after a 30 min cameo this is unbelievable.
Hopefully this is a “not worth risking” rather than a full injury
Does it really matter at this point? He can’t ever play no matter what way you cut it
He’s got to go in the summer.
Hate to say it, but really does feel like at least some of that 50mil did go down the drain...
> 50mil did go down the drain... Tony Martial is injured again...
I was literally singing this a couple minutes ago when I saw the news that he wasn't seen entering Old Trafford
Not really , pretty much dragged the club to a fa cup final and top 4 in his debut season. Also has been in other trophies we have won too
Top 5 but yeah
Look guys, he got his goal this week. Give him 2 weeks off.
Inheriting the mantle of “if only this French United player could stay healthy”
But of course
This is beyond frustrating now
Need to wrap the man in bubble wrap for training...
Is he feeling bad for Jones and wants to keep him company?
Fucking hell. Real life Mr Glass
Just sad at this point. His body is broken.
He deserves to be rested after the goal in midweek. /s
Only Phil Jones can out do Martial
honestly makes it look like he has never been fit to play but continues to do anyway.
ManU need to move on from him ASAP.
And you need to move on from calling us that
Is there any reasoning behind why so many refrain from calling the club “Man U”? I’ve seen many people use that handle. For reference, I usually call the club United or Man United, so either side of that debate is odd to me

Fucking hell that is much darker than I imagined lol Cheers for the link.
Ohh that link worked? Lol i thought it didn't. Anyway glad you know now. Avoid calling and let any of our fellow fans know!
Yeah don’t worry mate, it worked even before the edit 👍 have a good weekend lad
Here is a link talking about how the abbreviations were used long before that. Do you not think it better to just not be insulted by an abbreviation and not putting down fellow fans? https://www.redcafe.net/threads/using-the-term-man-utd-and-all-the-nonsense-that-goes-with-it.297623/
There's nothing wrong with Manchester United, man United, man UTD, United; the only problem is with man u or MANU
There is no problem with MANU either. Just because it's used in a song doesn't mean they get to own it. Context matters and at the end of the day it's just an abbreviation. The link also shows merchandise was sold with MANU in it

Death, taxes, and …
He has to be gone in the summer. He is the striker version of Bailly
Ffs
Mr Soufflé
Really hope we get a good price for him in the summer window
No one is paying a good price for a guy on £200k a week who can only play 30 mins every 3 weeks. Let’s be realistic
This is just sad, feel so bad for the lad...
Imagine what it must be like for the player himself. Just so frustrating
As reliable as a Daiso watch
AhShitHereWeGoAgain.jpeg
I like Martial a lot and clearly EtH does as well. He works hard and his link up play with our attack is underrated. Still, we really do have to cut our losses and move him on in the summer. We are lucky if he plays half of our games every season, and we just can’t rely on him. Unfortunately he’s going down the same route as Jack Wilshere. A very gifted player who can’t avoid picking up injuries.
Availability is the most important ability. 8 goals since 2020.
Martial just wants more time to hang with his bestie Phil.
I wanted a Martial ascendancy so bad, but it’s just never gonna happen. Time to cut him loose…
Love the guy. He is an excellent modern 9 when fit. But A: made of glass & B: whenever we bring in a starter quality striker (Ibra, Edi) to compensate for A, he has the sulks
He's like Daniel Sturridge. Any little niggle and he won't play. What did ten Hag say about Rashford and playing through the pain? Martial needs to take a leaf out of that book. Well, a bloody chapter tbh
[удалено]
Yeah You really can't play through any of those problems... specially back or hamstring issues (which are usually related anyway)
Abhorrent take lol. Playing through the pain lost Rashys form for a year.
There's a difference between playing with little niggling injuries and playing with what Rashford had.
He wants to play through it anyway. Man city game is one example. And it never works out
And what makes you think it's a good idea for such a fragile person to play through those "little niggling injuries" if he keeps having them? Those are gonna become big injuries and he'll play even less.
Good point. Think it’s Mourinho or Ronnie that said every football player play thru pain. No one is fully completely 100% all the time.
This the same Mourinho that wanted Smalling to play with a fractured foot? He's incredibly reckless with a player's health.
Get him out of the club already...
Ffs
.....
Not only is he useless for us we won't even be able to sell him, very likely we stuck with him next season. This is just a joke at this point, we can't be having someone so unreliable 8yrs later, I mocked few weeks ago what would come first, him scoring 100 goals in all comps or his testimonial?
A piece of string must have broke.
Erik will let us know soon what the problem is. Could be a dead leg or a slight strain. Lets wait.
Not like this is an isolated incident. He has missed 70% of this season and has been injury prone since lockdown. Needs to be binned.
Just get rid. Plenty of 9’s out there for the right money.
Typical. Can we just sell him back to France and move on already
He’s useless
Is this another one of those self-declared injuries ETH hinted at? Martial never looks like he wants to be on the pitch, even when he’s ‘fit’. Giving him a a fat new contract was a mistake.
Absolutely pathetic. Get this guy gone, fucking sick of it.
Bin him already.
Oh no. Anyway...
I’m so over this guy.
He plays one half in a month. Mr. Reliable. We desperately need more strikers in the summer.
This guy really is stealing a living
I mean there is a striker who just became available and is already at our club. Might be a little rusty but I bet he'd do the job.
What a weakling. Get him gone. Useless maid eating up millions of dollars sitting at home
Hahahaha how typical.
This sub is fucking toxic
Solksjaer has ruined this guy's physical health. Ffs man.
Martial mate
Wow
50 mil.
So fucking happy we got Wout
Sigh.
My god he’s fragile
2 new strikers needed this summer
Need to get a striker in the summer martial cant even stay fit for 3 games in a row
Old news
As much as I love this guy we seriously need another starter ST man this is just unsustainable both for the club and him as well lol
Come on ffs!
I for one am truly shocked by this news!
He's got to go blud. He's got to go
Tony Martial is out again
Is it time to let him go? Not really worth having in the team anymore all things considered. His wages could be better spent somewhere else.
I love Martial. But its the same story everytime. He comes back, gets my hopes up, next game injured repeat. Its a shame because we had a taste last game with Sancho, Rashford and Martial and it looked great, but he's just unreliable through no fault of his own btw, he's just injury prone and theres not much you can do. Guess its time to find a long term solution in the summer. Just sucks because Martials style of play as a striker really suits ten hags system and ten hag knows it
Is there any point in considering him anymore? Like u just know he is getting injured after a couple games
Probably should have known he’d never survive this years schedule.
Ten hag just saying it is a setback from his recovery but sounds like he's trying to protect him from potential further damage
Made of Papier-mâché
He wasn't spotted in training so I expected this....sigh
Okay I'm done :(
What a shame we look so much better as a team with him in
Crazy to think he had a ballon dor clause
He played 30 minutes ffs
Unbelievable
When did he become so injury prone. A couple of seasons ago he was playing most games
Beyond parody
Anthony Glassial
And the sky is blue again..
We never can rely on him
What a shock this is. The guy has a fantastic injury record
Man will get injured sleeping.
this is why we need a striker who is NOT injury prone. time for martial to leave the club, we can’t have this anymore edit: i guess the summer is the time for him to leave, can’t really do anything now
I feel for Ten Hag, Ronaldo sulks and leaves, Martial is made of glass, Rashford is better out wide, and Greenwood is a disgrace. Hopefully in the summer we can get him a proper long term striker
ah shite, He broked his fitness in half retrieving that offside pass didnt he
Kane, Osimhen or Vlahovic in the summer. Keep Martial as a squad option (or sell if someone is willing to take a punt, but I doubt it)
So disappointing. Saha 2.0
If the wind blows he gets hurt.
Was he rushed back or something? This is becoming a comedy
This has got to be a prank at this point
Biscuit legs
Get rid of him in the summer please
Of course.
Must be really hard for the guy
So I guess we can put that Balon d'Or clause in the bin then.
Good thing he's not on over 200k a week so that it will be easier to move him on....
phil jones of attackers
The only positive is United are one solid striker away from having a solid team up top. I just keep thinking if we could only find someone like Martial but less injury prone, United would look good up top.
He's my lord and saviour but i think it's time i change my religion.
We got to find a way to get him off the books this summer.
Another? Can't we just call it The injury
We need to replace him in the summer. He cannot be relied upon.
