DeadLinesman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 15 hours ago, Cicero said: This is vintage Mourinho, and you can bet Martial will flourish elsewhere. Young player with loads of potential, being given chance after chance in a system that doesn't really get the best out of his gifted ability, to which Mourinho prefers a more experienced short term player. All to similar. I'd only want Martial if Sarri was our manager. He was exactly the same under LVG as well tbh. This time round, it’s not a Mourinho thing. It’s a Martial thing.

Danny Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I think Martial has had many opportunities to prove his worth, but also there were a lot of complaints about LVG's style of play not being creative enough even if they didn't hoof it and I don't think strikers enjoy being thrown under the bus by Mourinho all the time, especially when it's a defensive minded one. He's also just 22 years old, hardly going to be the finished product and for a 22 year old he's not had a bad goal scoring record. Probably worth noting he had his best season under LVG...maybe a move would be best for him seeing as Mourinho isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

The Artful Dodger Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 He was brilliant in that first season, can't just be blamed on Mourinho but can't help feel he is the root cause in the stalling in many player's careers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sky Sports News understands Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich are all interested in signing Manchester United's Anthony Martial this summer. Martial, currently in the United States on United's pre-season tour, has a year remaining on his contract. SSN understands Martial has told United boss Jose Mourinho he wants to leave the club but it is understood United's hierarchy are not interested in selling the France international forward, and could trigger the extra year option in his contract until 2020. Chelsea are yet to make a formal offer, according to Sky sources, while Sky in Germany are reporting that Bayern Munich would only make a move should United lower their valuation of the player. Martial started United's first game in the USA, against the San Jose Earthquakes, and could be forced into a significant role in the early part of the season after only starting 26 of his 45 appearances last season. Mourinho has hinted that Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford could be used sparingly after their exertions in the World Cup this summer, leaving him with fewer options up front. Should he make it to the Premier League opener against Leicester on August 10, only foreign clubs would be able to sign him, as the domestic window closes a day earlier. Eden Hazard is a transfer target for Real Madrid Chelsea's interest in Martial could prompt fresh questions over the future of Eden Hazard at Stamford Bridge. Hazard has hinted he would like to move to Real Madrid after six years with the club, saying last week that "it might be time to discover something different". The move could also affect the future of another Chelsea forward - Willian. Sky Sports News reported in May that United are interested in bringing the Brazil winger to Old Trafford this summer. And, as recently as Friday, we brought you the news that Barcelona had made a third offer for the 29-year-old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard Posted July 22, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2018 What I love about that piece is Bayern. I’d love a mansion but I’m not buying one unless the valuation was dropped to my convenience. It must be dire paraphrasing because it’s a nothing statement.

Hence our record transfer fee is barely above €40m, Its still Tolisso. Hoeness is very stuck in his ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Unfortunately, I am starting feel that Martial will leave United. He doesn't fit Mourinho's system and Mourinho doesn't trust him. Not saying Martial has downed tools, but in the two pre-season games in the States, he has had an opportunity to prove Jose wrong and he just doesnt look all that interested. Plenty of blame to go around here, Jose's system and his reluctance to trust youth, but Martial while a great talant seems to lack the mentality to push through when faced with adversity.

DNA Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 There doesn't really seem to be a natural fit for him, you feel the teams linked thus far would need to accommodate him if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storts Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 He’s been our top target all summer - been shown round the training ground etc. But highly doubt it’s going to happen. United don’t want to sell to a domestic rival. All dependent on Alderweireld deal I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless this is a serious case of tapping up of course I mean, why would United grant Spurs permission for him to look around your facilities if they had no intention of selling him to Spurs?

Cicero Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I would gift wrap Willian myself to United if that meant we'd be getting Martial in return. Reckon he would be quality as our CF in Sarri's system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Idk if I buy that he’s done the training ground tour at Spurs. That’s usually something that comes with being given permission to speak to the player, which generally in this day and age the reputable journos for each region or club have tweeted about it. but if it’s the case, then he’s probably going to Spurs because if they’ve given permission to talk to the player then terms have probably been discussed & @LFCMadLad is probably right, it’s just a matter of getting a fee agreed between clubs (assuming he’s accepted). if Mourinho really rates Martial, I think he’ll be sold abroad.

Redcanuck Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If he is sold it has to be abroad even if it is for less money, too much of a risk to sell him to a domestic rival. Not that there is any chance it will happen and United would have to add considerable money, if Martial went to Spurs, as an United fan, I would want Kane and if he went to Chelsea, I would want Hazard. But that's not going to happen so better to offer to sell him abroad and hope Real and PSG show an interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
