His ‘team’ will have been pissed about it as well, saying a number doesn’t matter is a bit daft because these days it matters to the brand. |

New manager comes in, signs old man and whips prestigious number off previous seasons top scorer before a ball has been kicked. I can’t recall it ever happening anywhere else tbh |

Btw I’m not suggesting Martial was right or shouldn’t have sucked it up and cracked on etc. Just that it was £#%&!ing shoddy man management and would’ve given the lad the impression that the new manager neither cared about or respected him before he’d even played for him.
He then spent all last summer trying to buy Perisic to play in Martial’s position, converted Rashford to a left sided player and had them job share, before buying Sanchez and immediately ousting Martial from his usual position to accommodate Sanchez and then dropping him. Despite him having scored 3 in 4 before Sanchez’s arrival. Would not be shocked if Tone slapped in a transfer request tbh. Apparently, of the 5 games either Martial or Rashford has started RW we have lost 5.. (not checked the stat, but was presented somewhere after Tuesday and sounds about right.) |

Remember, he’s privvy to much more information than we are. We see these players for a maximum of three hours a week and nothing behind the scenes. |

I honestly believe that you get the whole team playing in a system they enjoy and believe in, they work hard. The problem is with the last 3 managers is nobody has believed in any of them. |

As much of a @#%&! as Mourinho is being currently, you can see the way he’s talking up The Scottish Player’s attitude and application has more than one purpose. |

I don’t think Martial is lazy, he just wants the ball and wants to be going forward. He doesn’t want to be defending 30 yards from his own goal as a priority. He was mustard consistently during his first season because he was told to attack primarily and was supported. He was practically dropped before his second season started.

The shirt number thing was stupid from the manager, the only way to change an important players number is to give him a more prestigious number or a number he’s asked for.
See Beckham being briefly gutted at losing 10 until he found out he was getting 7. Of course those numbers are on par in general but following Cantona was obviously a huge deal for a young player. |

When Mou got the job Martial was one I feared for. Bad combination and the club again not having foresight to see it coming. |
