    He most definitely has been rejuvenated and is having arguably his best season with the club (despite missing some time due to injury). Getting his jersey back and playing under a manager who actually believes in him surely are contributing factors.
    Above all else however, it's clear to see how his game has evolved and I, for one, am really excited about what the future holds (provided that injuries don't get in the way).

    If he can sustain that hunger culture in coming years he could score 25+ goals every season.

    Very happy with and for him after what he's done this season. Really has stepped it up a notch, taking his game to a whole new level (in a position we almost gave up on him). He's become such an important player for us as well after he returned from his time on the sidelines..
    My hope now is that he's just getting started, as I'm looking for even bigger and better things from him next season.

    Aside from Bruno, my top player of the season.

    But he is my current favorite player so I might be biased.

    On a related note, isn’t it nice to be talking about attacking players as our POTY?

    it's nice to actually have choices for POTY instead of default awarding

    I rate Tony's performance this year as probably our best overall. My POTY would go to Rashford (for the 6 week period where he was unplayable and we had no other option in attack), but Tony was immense this year. Vital to the team in a way that I'd not seen coming from him.

    Of particular note to me this year was his catalogue of goals. He did everything. Header, left foot, right foot, curler, rocket, chip and the side foot. He can do it all.

    Absolutely LOVED hearing Ole's claim that Martial was begging him to be sent on yesterday vs LASK and that he guaranteed he'd score. He wants to be the club's top scorer outright for this season.
    Also appreciate how he and Rash are having this competition to be top scorer (with apparently Tony pointing to Rash after he scored). Martial is a player riding really high right now and it shows in his attitude and general play.

    So in one breath, Scholes basically claims that Martial is not good enough to be a 9 for United and we should go for Kane. And in the next he's very generous in his praise of him. How interesting.
    In all seriousness though, I honestly do not understand how one can find fault in Martial's performance this season. He's the club's top scorer, despite having missed some time with injury early on, he's improved him play to the point he's become a very effective CF. Not sure what more could be asked of him (except that he keeps working hard to improve even more next season).

    Who cares?!

    Tony is my current fav United player and has been for a few years. Guy had to dig himself out of the grave Mourinho put him in. Is thriving and gelling with the guy that they wouldn’t say this stuff about (because he is an English lion) in Rashford. Raised his game another notch when Bruno arrived.

    These old heads feel like their opinion on United matters are the authoritative view. Pish to all that.

    Tony Martial came from France
    Our English exes said he had no chance
    50 million down the drain
    Tony Martial scores again

    Scholes an atg as a player, but poor as a pundit imo.

    I liked the goal Tony M scored Wed as it was the kind of boring centerforward goal we haven't seen enough of in the team but that he has been producing recently - find a way through the middle and scuff it under the goal keeper.

    Proper #9 goal. All this and worldies too :)

    Boring? That seemed like some good combination play to me.

    Relative to smashing it in the top corner from outside the box it was _kinda_ boring :)

    Point was, he was central and closer then the pen spot - a true #9 goal.

    A bit of good news at least, with Martial being selected back in the French national team.

    He cannot go back to the left wing. If he does, just sell him to PSG to replace Neymar.


    Im surprised no one has commented on Tony thus far. Its been a bad start, mainly stemming from the 3 game ban.

    Then when he gets back into the team, he's forced out left because quite frankly, Cavani is a better no. 9 [not unexpected]. His 3 games or so on the left have been his worst games in the last 13 or 14 months.

    Taking away the bad misses, his general play has been poor.

    We have a lot of issues to worry about, but if Martial [and Rashford] cant find some consistency soon, Tony may be another problem to deal with.
