Do you feel he is the answer at number 9 for the foreseeable?
16 goals in 34 games isn’t bad for a side that has struggled with creativity for large parts of the season. He’s also scored some big goals.
He’s not the finished article but it’s also his 1st full season as an out and out striker.
I don’t think spending big at centre forward is a priority in the next window especially with the promise both Martial and Greenwood have shown. I’d try get Ighalo permanently and if not possible someone similar. An experienced out and out striker but who wouldn’t expect to play every week.
I’d certainly give Martial another full season to prove he can be the man for us.

That was when you moved them. People use Rashford’s goals in the big games at that age when talking about his record as well. I don’t see a problem with that, he was scoring in them.

How can I move them in the very first response to you?

I never said he played 47 full games either, that would be ridiculous as most forwards don’t. Especially when they’ve often been subbed off for being ineffective.

So say that then, it's misleading.
As it stands, his record in recent history is an excellent one.

I dont think many would say Ighalo is number one choice.
He's a good squad option under the circumstances.
I'd personally like to keep him in the squad. Has the right character which is vital in helping our young forwards mature

Martial should be competition with Rashford on the left, used in one of the split striker roles when we play the diamond, and ready to act as backup at nine.
He shouldn’t be our starting nine.

For me he lacks certain attributes to be a top no.9, such as off the ball movement and having the knack of being in the right place at the right time for tap ins.
However, the benefit of having a striker like Martial is it allows our wingers to interchange with him. Maybe in having Martial up top allows Rashford and our RW to score more? I believe the total amount of goals our front 3 scores is the most important figure.
Plus, if Martial doesn't improve, it could mean Greenwood gets more opportunities up front next season.

I feel he's earned another season as our No9. If we keep Ighalo and have Greenwood there are more important areas to improve imo... We have goals from Rahsford, Martial, Greenwood, Fernandes, Pogba and of we add a RW that's plenty of firepower.
