This is the biggest area of concern I have with EtH. Giving him a start last night, or involving him in any way - what has he actually shown to say he deserves it? Any time he plays or comes on, he's static. He can't trap or control a ball, he's slow, tired looking, disinterested. It's engaging.

Shouldn't ever put the shirt on again, whoever the manager is.

True but I assume ETH felt that Hojlund needed a rest. The real baffling thing, for me, is to allow the club to start the season with only one 20-year old striker in the squad. For all of Martial's unacceptable laziness and attitude, he was always ok with played on the left and it was only when we put in the middle (what 3-4 years old now?) that he turned to utter shite. Those two missed headers last night alone showed that he is never a striker. Neither is Rashford. It is completely unacceptable for the club to have let the squad get into such a mess.

As others have said, I suspect he was told that Greenwood was coming back, hence thinking he could get away with only signing Hojlund - Martial kept incase of dire emergency

so once again it all comes back to rachel riley

Incredibly, even at the start of this season certain people were still waxing lyrical about his "potential"

You made that up didn't you?

He probably meant as a potential match winner rather than future potential and yes, I feel dirty saying that l but he has, in the past shown an ability to conjure up a goal but… I honestly think he’s just a bit £#%&!ing simple. Like Rashford, he’s a cowardly £#%&!er that won’t stand up and be a striker - too much expectation for the @#%&!. He’d rather lessen the expectations and shoot through a packed defence rather than pass to a team mate or in anyway show some connection with other forwards. The @#%&! would rather go for his own glory and run into four defenders than pick out Hojlund begging for a tap in

Not too arsed about going out of the cup. It was the manner of it that pissed me off.

Dalot is the worst right back in the league. It comes as no shock they target him every time and mostly have success against him. But he waves his arms around and fires up the fans. SHITE

The fact that we still have to use Maguire and Lindelof at the back speaks volumes. Casemiro is finished. Martial needs turning into glue.

Rotten from top to bottom

Martial last night looked like he'd never played football before and didn't know what to do. He should never play for United again but I've said that every time he's 'played' for the last 5 years.

His contract is up next summer thank £#%&!ing christ.

Seen off four managers/interims already and has his eye on a fifth.

What a life. getting paid hundreds of thousands a week to do £#%&! all. He's probably as confused as we are when he gets picked for games.

"Me boss? You sure?"

Normally wouldn’t be arsed to go out of that but it was the only comp we had a vague chance in.

The season’s now 100% over - the players and fans all know it which is another reason everything around the club feels dead.

He is literally the opposite of imposter syndrome

Might start calling it Martial Syndrome - when you’re convinced you’re great when you’re really shit.

Normally enjoy a good bit of doom, but this is all getting a bit too much.

On the phone to his mum. ‘They’re paying me thousands every week. I can’t get my head around it’
