[@Danielznho-1]

I think he was an amazing player; he had the potential to become a star. He was affected not only by injuries but also by his mentality and, obviously, the poor management in the club. As a United fan, it's disheartening.

[@victorokeke3395]

He's a result of mourinho's poor youth development. Imagine where we would be if we stuck with LVG

[@lijiang5600]

Yeah, his technical ability is absolutely insane, if only he's 10 years older and had Sir Alex

[@oldskoolmusicnostalgia]

Loads of pace and low brainpower shouldn't be confused with "potential".

[@Andy-fs5hv]

He was lacking a lot of attributes, wasn’t particularly strong or aggressive. His skillset was quite specific to dribbling and ok pace. He was completely ineffective in the air, from crosses and set pieces. He had a decent curled shot. Basically he needed all the stars to align to have a good performance that suited his narrow skillset

[@judithkelly2556]

He has zero fight or desire.

[@muslim8315]

Martial has proved several times his class and potential like that debut goalz that 20+ goal season under ole, that chip over ben foster but injuries ruined him and some would argue his attitude was also a reason.

[@Vizeh]

You think Attitude is a cheap excuse or is there something behind that?

[@ahmedkhawaja5376]

​@@Vizehprobably the fact that he had to play injured as he claimed and that ruined him

[@muslim8315]

​@@Vizehhey mate, I think attitude really reflects how a player plays and martial after that 2020/21 season where he was struggling with injuries and people were calling him lazy cause he wasn't striking hence we bought cavani* changed his attitude drastically and caused his decline.

[@leonlucas368]

@@ahmedkhawaja5376 If that was true, it's the same Ronaldo (Brazil) had. FYI not saying he was supposed to be anything near Ronaldo though.

[@johannlothe]

​@@Vizeh There's always something behind it, honestly. Whether that's a mental issue or an ego issue, we can't know for sure. And whether those issues are self-inflicted, a result of bad club management, bad influences, something else, or all of the above, it creates the same outcome. A good player doesn't become a bad player out of nowhere. All the best to him in the future, wherever and whatever that may be.

[@lewis6916]

I’m not even a Man U fan. I’m a rangers fan. Born in Glasgow. But martial gave me one of my favourite football memories. Watching his first game at United, with my grandad before he got sick. Having my first beer with him. Crying real tears thinking about it now.

[@God_of_Arson]

It’s sad because of how much potential he had and he showed it early on but injuries ruined him he’s almsot like a reverse luke shaw who started out poorly but then hit form and now starts for England it’s to bad that martial never became a French national team starter. (Btw pls make a Shaw video)

[@Vizeh]

Thank you for your comment mate, injuries is a big factor of course!

[@danielward7008]

Both have suffered terribly with injuries but Martial appears to have given up, Shaw hasn't.

[@B_hartshorne]

I remember being being at old Trafford when he scored that goal against Liverpool… such a class player at times but injuries and a dysfunctional team has absolutely killed any potential unfortunately

[@Vizeh]

I can tell you even the kit precisely it’s that iconic to me

[@legendary7957yahoo]

It is iconic to me ,too. I am glad I found someone else feel as I do. It truly captured how United was as a team ,truly a memorable one. An your video is exactly the same I always thought of martial. He is sure surely to blame for his downfall.While united was a shitty place for a young talent to develope but he let him self stay in that environment to begin with, compare him to De Bryune ,who despite being a newcomer team in a legendary Chelsea team that won the primere league under the special one Jose mourinhou asked to be loaned out because he was not a starter on his third match ,truly a mentality difference.@@Vizeh

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

I still remember that game, as I was watching it, and thought Man U had grabbed a bargin. Which to be fair, he was slowly turning into. But the last few years has just been. Shrug. Also, I really hate these narratives these days. Like imagine being a young player, just wanting to establish yourself, do your best, etc. Only for media, or scouts, or such be like 'HE'S THE NEXT MESSI. THE NEXT RONALDO, THE NEXT HENRY.' Like bruh, the kid just came onto the scene, give him space lmao.

[@harubutjojo]

There was a serious player in him back when he was at his best, but injuries and a lack of work ethic was what killed his career at United. Such a shame to see how his career ended up.

[@Vizeh]

Still decent on FIFA at least

[@b6pablo]

[@christopher7559]

[@Vizeh]

Can see him going Saudi I think

[@Colin623]

Exactly right, he became lazy and wouldn't track back or make any effort to chase the ball, unfortunately expectations don't always tally up with the reality ! Just look at the Antony, high expectations for £85 million, but has turned out to be a one trick pony which any defender knows exactly what he's going to do !

Thank you so much mate!

[@kingtchala6832]

What is this obsession with Martial and his time at United?? The Henry comparison is more of a social media thing, not any real comparison. They both started at Monaco, and there ends the comparison. I have a soft spot for Martial. Just look at the state of this club and the forward line he's been involved in. During his time, he hasnt always played the centre forward. This is the most important point. Of his 8 seasons here, I'd say he had the responsibility of the main centre forward 3/8. When he's played out wide, he's always given an acceptable return, between 7-12 goals. And 2/3 seasons he played as a fully fit striker, he got 17 and 23 respectively. The game has also changed over the years, where wide forwards are almost more important than the strikers in some teams. Who and what kind of manager did we have in these key early years - Mourinho, who was much more interested in Martial, running backwards than what he was doing going forwards. Not to mention buying Alexis to take his spot when he was in his best vein of form under Mourinho. Martial has 63 goals in 209 apps, and Rashford has 78 in 255. Both have been let down badly. By comparison, Mahrez had 45 goals for City in five years where they basically won the league every year. Grealish has 11 goals in 3 yrs, again for a well-oiled team, top of the league. Martial and Rashford (I'm not even a big Rashford fan) have had to carry United during their worst era. If those two hadn't contributed the way they have scored the goals that they scored, just where would this club be without their contributions. The club is not well run, this is clear to all. As I said in the comments, Martial has been no greater flop than any other player signed during his time here, Fellani, Falcao, Pogba, Sanchez, Di Maria, Cavani, Maguire, Shaw, Antony, Fred, Mata, Sancho. Martial has given us far greater moments than all these players. He's not perfect. He has his faults, but a failure is a very harsh label because who has truly excelled at United.

[@PoliAstroN]

I was never on the Marital hype train, I don’t know. I never really thought he was anything special or worthy of being THE man utd number 9. The Balon D’or clause is hilarious

[@themangomag97]

Great video, but I want to point out a couple of things. Several United players over the years (and even recently) who played with Martial said that he was the best finisher at the club. And his biggest issue by far has been injuries. He can't stay fit. THAT is the main issue United fans have with him.

[@ProfessionalNonce]

“He’s too quick for the opposition,they knew about him,but they couldn’t stop him.Antony Martial”. What could have been

[@Vizeh]

Awful to see man

[@KandaEzana]

I think what killed his progress was the signing of Zlatan. Purely a marketing move from Ed Woodward. Things would be different had Martial been made the main man after his first season. But then there was also the issue of Jose

[@justaordinarycanadianfello360]

Martial never really worked out at united his best season under ole was special. He had potential to be one of the best in the world he had all the attributes. In the end he never really reached that potential and fell away.

[@Vizeh]

So sad to see man, and he's not even that old either he should be at his peak!

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

I think Martial also suffered what a lot of Man Utd forwards suffer from: No service. I think injuries still would have ruined him but he would have had more G/A. I remember back in the days of Lukaku that he would get less balls into him than other Big 6 forwards, and I’ve seen it with all of our strikers since (latest being Højlund. Happy he scored against Villa). Along with the litany of problems at Man Utd, not creating chances for their forwards needs to be looked at urgently.

[@au6769]

He recently came out saying that what changed was hat Solskear forced him to play 19/20 through injuries that weren't fully recovered... which has lead to his declinine form since

[@jacksonconstantine5740]

Hearing the black ops 1 music kick in at the start of the vid gave me chills. What a game.

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

I thought he was going to kick on after his incredible 19/20 season then injuries and the arrival of Cavani and Ronaldo a season later ruined him. In hindsight, Mourinho was willing to sell Martial for Perisic and Joel Glazer refused and when Ole arrived he got a new deal. Guess Mourinho was spot on again because since the pandemic, Martial has failed to score 10 Premier League goals and his loan to Sevilla was a disaster class. 9 years at Manchester United and not even close to living up to his true potential bar some moments of brilliance. We should have cashed in on Martial in 2018.

He possessed incredible talent, with the potential to shine as a star player. Unfortunately, his journey was marred by a combination of injuries, mental struggles, and, undoubtedly, the club's mismanagement. As a devoted United fan, it's truly disheartening to witness. ⚽😔

[@riichobamin7612]

I feel that currently, United should play a 4-4-2 with Martial and Højlund as the front two. Højlund can run head on into the defense will Martial can, and prefers, to drop back, control the ball and then either shoot or pass to Højlund. Him and Rasmus look complimentary for a front two. Like Villa and Torres.

[@kewboyd632]

Editing is on another level for this video!

[@antant908]

7:43 and the iconic Martial 😂😂😂😂😂. I can’t stop laughing

[@RagingAggron]

I think it comes down to several things all combining to a bad situation: 1. The prize tag at the time was seen as huge and ManU media put a lot of pressure on a young person who never really had had that pressure put on him, not even in the youth french teams. He most likely wasnt ready for that. 2. Giving him the nr 9 just to yank it away from him a year later to please Zlatan. This probably put some wrenches into his mentality, he maybe even felt betrayed, and this might impact his play, as he became more stationary from 2016 and onward which is shown in the defensive numbers being very bad. 3. He is a one trick pony. Even when he gets to play in his best position (centre forward) he tends to get the ball wide, dribbles towards the goal and tries to bend it in. Similar to Robben and Ribery, but not patient or diveres enough to beat PL level defenders regularly. The one really good season he had was when he was put as a centre forward, rather than a winger type forward, where he didnt had to do all of the work before shooting. Before and after that season he has mostly been used as a wider option to compensate a slower, bigger center forward, rather than himself being the centre forward (like Henrik Larsson to Zlatan in the Swedish national team or Solskjear to van Nistelrooy in the 2002 ManU). 4. A lot of coaches and no real feeling of security. Since he joined ManU, he have seen 5 different managers and their coaching teams, and only one gave him a fair chance and believed in him, which is where we see his best seasons. 5. Injuries. A lot of them. Not Wilshere levels, but still a lot. There are probably more reasons than this, but these are the ones that are easy to show in text. He should probably had been loaned back to Monaco for one more year, then moving over to the UK and try to get a place in the team or on loan in the PL. Media, club politics and a lot of bad coincidences in a short amount of time probably gutted his mentality. Its clear he aint enjoying football since some time back, and he is not the same happy footballer as he was in Monaco.

[@Lostouille]

ManU is not a good team for youth management and development

[@Tdizzle2024]

The main problem is a problem that practically all united strikers have had over the last 5 years, is the lack of service and obviously being pkayed through injuries, i do hope where ever he goes he can rekindle some form.

MARTIAL Will be the BEST In The World

[@TonedLobst3r]

Love the black ops background music lol

[@amadhatter3280]

IMO what ruined Martial was: A) Money & Ego: That's what drives him not the will to be the best, too many young players are told from a young age "your great" or "your special" & it goes to their head. This ruins them not only in football but in life e.g. Michael Owen someone my brother works with did some painting & decorating at his home, when he was talking to his misses about the job Owen through a fit & was screaming at him calling him every name under the sun because he spoke to his misses. Another TAA trying to convince a pregnant married woman to cheat on her husband & have sex with him because he wanted to have sex with her. Tell a kid their special & better then everyone else & give them money & most turn into monsters. B) Its a Job: Most footballers actually don't like football their just using it too get money, I bet (judging from his actions & attitude) Martial doesn't like football. He's just another kid that happened to be good at it & sees it as a job rather then a passion. C) Rashford: This works both ways as when Martial was brought Rashford was still in the academy & hadn't broke onto the scene yet. When Rashford showed potential Man Utd now had a massive problem, 2 young, high potential but very inconsistent, dribble focus, purple patches, ,injury prone, Inside LW (that wanted to play ST), that needed game time & a solid structure to unlock their potential. This damaged both players development because neither were given room to grow as the next star at Man Utd (this is on Man Utd because if they had Rashford they should've never signed Martial, but the Glazor's wanted a big money signing & so they got Martial).

[@VinnyVinnz17]

[@MaxwellAyo]

His injury record is a big factor which is something Vizeh seems to have completely skipped over here. Right now, you no longer see Martial go on long dribble runs like he did for that debut goal against Liverpool because Martial now avoids high intensity sprints due to a spat of muscle injuries he has suffered. That is a big reason why he seems even more ineffective now than before, he can't even do his signature runs anymore.
