Anthony Martial

As he’s likely off soon, how would y’all rate him as a signing ? He’s had imo one good season and a some okay ones with a couple of terrible ones. The guy is obviously talented but never had the attitude needed to push himself to the top band of footballers.

For me, 5/10 signing. I doubt we’ll miss him at all. Crazy to think he’s been at the club coming up to 7 years. Time flies when you’re not looking like you’re having fun.

Yeh, I'd say 5/10 for Martial. Such a disappointment for me considering his ability. I hoped that he would kick on after Lukaku left and he had a good season in 19/20 playing as the number 9. He looked to have improved in that role and I felt that he might improve further, but he has gone backwards. Definitely time for a move. I can't see Ralf playing him much now after his agent has said he wants to move.

Yeah 5/10 is about right.

Probably has himself to blame more than anyone for not living up to the potential, but in fairness I don't think the last 7 years has been a very good environment for any youngster to develop in. In hindsight he'd have probably made a better career move after leaving Monaco, and would probably have been a better player for it.

Yeh, hard to disagree with that. I think that there were things that happened that probably knocked his confidence/put his nose out of joint. However, he also has to shoulder some of the blame and I think that his character is somewhat lacking. He does give the impression that he is a bit of a sulker when things don't goo his way, rather than someone who will roll up his sleeves and try to put things right.

Good. He needs to leave for his own good, and we don't really need him.

He seems like the glass half empty type and someone who is always complaining. I have a couple in my team at work, and it's so miserable to have them around. Hopefully he can go somewhere that will keep him and his family happy.

A combination of joining a club who have been a mess most of his time and seemingly not having the mental strength to be the best he can have made him a disappointing signing overall. 5/10.

Can’t be a coincidence that most players we’ve bought post Ferguson haven’t been that good.

Underwhelming time at Old Trafford, has all the ability but didnt seem to have the drive to push on, not the right attitude to have and be able to flourish at Man Utd

Unfortunately, his peak was his debut. That goal was sensational. However, he trick was quickly found out.

Remember a few years ago someone on here saying he’d be one of the top 3 players in the world!

Guess we won’t be paying that Ballon for bonus payment to Monaco.

Knowing United we didn't caveat that clause with 'at United' Watch him go somewhere and flourish, win the Ballon D'or, and us having to fork out!
