What's everyone's thoughts on Anthony Martial? He's been there 9 seasons and scored 62 premier league goals

For me he's got to be considered one of their worst signings ever. People will mention Bebe and shite like that, but for the fee, amount of games and being consistently average to poor for that many seasons is dreadful

By the end of the season Haaland would have overtaken that tally

Didn’t realise he’s been there for nine years.

Håland has 61 goals for City!
 
I'll never forget when they beat Blackpool to relegate them, although they didn't need to as they already won the league.

The GPC offered his misconsiderations and it was partially his fault it happened!. They could have just fielded a second string for the European Cup Final the week later and let them stay up.
 
Those fucking awful songs they used to record before Cup Finals as well....

Glory Glory Man United was Status Quo letting themselves down big time, Move, Move, Move sounded like an awful looped over techno beat with drunks singing over it and Lift it High sounded like a shit Oasis song.

To be fair; if they had put out a weakened team, and Blackpool went on to beat them and stay up, sending another team down instead, that other team would have justifiable complaint about utd effectively throwing the game.

Just why would he return there?

There's something not right about his relationship with the swamp going back to the fax issue, he even signed further contracts after that with them and he's still a free agent now rather than going to Saudi or anywhere else for that matter... something not right.

He must surely have had offers from other clubs since becoming a free agent so it is odd he's not not taken up any of them, it would be extremely odd for him to then return to united after choosing to not take up any offers from elsewhere.

Stockholm Syndrome perhaps.

Never seen a player decline as drastically as Martial that I think it should be put up and studied by analysts. The guy started a bright young winger, now a slow, sluggish footballer who doesn't seem to know his best position or assets and I struggle to even label him a footballer.

The Rags thought they were getting the next Thierry Henry, Now he looks more like the next Wout Weghorst and he is even doing a pale imitation of that.

Genuinely amazing how he's still at the Swamp. Probably he's the best parallel and face to represent his own club's decline.

9 seasons! Wow. I didnt realise. He's got talent, but he's one of those guys who plays like he doesnt actually like football life. No hard work, doesnt try to exploit the talent he got, I wonder how much he has earnt in that 9 years.

Maybe like Tory MPs he has bodies buried they've protected?

Remember a few years ago about the allegation of under age sex parties which he was cleared.
