He's presently out injured. viktor88: 6:35pm On May 18, 2018 ultimate73: After seen this list, Rashford and Lingard will be like thank God am not from . Assuming they are from nobody will notice them Wonberi(m): 6:38pm On May 18, 2018 Nobody is talking about this handicap Giroud. 1 Like iheanyi40(m): 6:54pm On May 18, 2018 olutop: Payet has injury, he was injured in Europa league final okay bro vosquare: 7:08pm On May 18, 2018 I don't know why people are attacking mourinho when coach himself is not a fan of martial vosquare: 7:09pm On May 18, 2018 iheanyi40: martial wasn't a flop, wen he had he's chances dis season he took em b4 d arrival of Sanchez Na just mourinho cause dis one Nope.... No b mourinho fault biko xtervaganza(m): 7:11pm On May 18, 2018 iheanyi40: martial wasn't a flop, wen he had he's chances dis season he took em b4 d arrival of Sanchez Na just mourinho cause dis one before Mourinho what exactly did martial achieve for or united? xtervaganza(m): 7:11pm On May 18, 2018 iheanyi40: Payet should have been in that standby list, dude was amazing 4 dis season he got injured xtervaganza(m): 7:13pm On May 18, 2018 KendrickAyomide: Mourinho is a Fool.. how can he bench Martial that his country qualified for the competition for Sanchez that is not even going oh.....he should sacrifice his job for your boy because he should help him get to world cup? You're the fool here though. How about hlguys like Lingard and Young who worked hard under the coach and made the world cup list heffem(m): 7:17pm On May 18, 2018 themiltons2: Payet get injury that’s y even with injury, make them borrow us the guy.. 1 Like xtervaganza(m): 7:19pm On May 18, 2018 Hardrive: I pick martial ahead of thauvin, lacazzette is not good enough to make the team, LaPorte ahead of Rami,rabiot ahead of nzonzi or Lemar, they have enough defensive minded midfielders in their team already. rabiot ahead of N'zonzi? Have you seen how N'zonzi dominates midfield? 1 Like xtervaganza(m): 7:25pm On May 18, 2018 oluwaahmed: Martial is not a flop, mourinho fvucked him up. He's definitely leaving man u next season. you can have all the talent in the works but if you can't motivate yourself then nobody can help u Yes, he's world class no doubt but the guy gets easily demoralised. Lacks motivation and doesn't fight for the ball like modern day forwards do. If you look at last season stats and check the amount of recoveries from Aguero, Lukaku, sane, Firmino, mane, Lingard and others you'll realise the guy is a bit lazy kayus4live(m): 7:26pm On May 18, 2018 damite94: I disagree with you Bro, Martial was too inconsistent and too fragile to play in the Premier. He can't protect his ball properly, too lazy to win the ball back when dispossessed, lacks shooting accuracy, can't cross the ball properly, believe me i can go on and on. I'm a man United fan, and i hardly miss any of our matches. If United has kept playing with martial and Rashford on the winger, they would struggle to make the top four. Let man united sell martial to liverpool and see how klopp will turn him to best winger in england 1 Like xtervaganza(m): 7:27pm On May 18, 2018 omocalabar: Nepotism in even in ...leaving out ben yedder is crazy lol the guy doesn't even start for Sevilla and you think he's world class kayus4live(m): 7:30pm On May 18, 2018 arent88: not necessarily poor midfield,but I did say they lack a very good attacking midfielder.I don't trust pogba he is too inconsistent, payet would have been the best fit but he had a reoccurrence of his muscle injury which ruled him out.the squad has an abundance of defensive midfielders what they lack is a midfielder in the class of ozil,coutinho or fabregas. Watch out for that guy FEKIR he is one of the best attacking midfielder in league 1 last season andrew444(m): 7:32pm On May 18, 2018 Hardrive: I pick martial ahead of thauvin, lacazzette is not good enough to make the team, LaPorte ahead of Rami,rabiot ahead of nzonzi or Lemar, they have enough defensive minded midfielders in their team already. Martial ahead of thauvin just because of Man U,please stop the joke. Thauvin scored 22 French league goals from the flank,if you think that's easy Martial didn't even scored up to that amount when he was at Monaco,only cavani score more goal than thauvin this season in ,mind you he is a winger and not a striker Coutinho14: 7:35pm On May 18, 2018 Hardrive: I pick martial ahead of thauvin, lacazzette is not good enough to make the team, LaPorte ahead of Rami,rabiot ahead of nzonzi or Lemar, they have enough defensive minded midfielders in their team already. martial shouldn't be anywhere near that list, i'd rather have a k. coman or even Ben yeddar arent88(m): 7:36pm On May 18, 2018 kayus4live: Watch out for that guy FEKIR he is one of the best attacking midfielder in league 1 last season I have known fekir since his early days at Lyon,trust me he won't even play much at the world cup.am sure he will hardly get game time.
