Definatley looks like tony is off now. He's chose to leave and yes we can blame Jose etc. But for me he's a great talent but that's it, shows in flashes how good he can be. Will he fulfil that potential? Who knows his attitude towards playing the game needs to improve, off the ball he made very few great runs, seems to sulk when he doesn't have the ball. Undoubtedly he's a talent but it'll be interesting to see exactly how he gets on away from Old Trafford. I can see similarities with Memphis, an extremely talented player but whether it's the league, the club, the expectation it just hasn't worked out.
I hope we don't go for a like for like replacement and let Rashford take over. I'd love pulisic for the right hand side and like ed said that's could be a consideration (thank you for the info Ed002!) .
Whilst Sanchez hasn't been great his desire has always been there, he's always worked hard for the team and himself. Martial needs to use that as an example to improve his all round game.
Good luck to him.
Caolán.

Caolan I don't think we pay Rooney mk.2 500k a week to just work hard, running around like a headless chicken is not and will never be a substitute for actual good performances. I would rather have someone actually attacks, beat their man, score goals and create chances rather than someone who does little of above but works hard otherwise.

A lot of the same stuff about attitude came out when salah and de bruyne were sold.

Last season their attitude seemed fine to me.

Its not like De bruyne and Salah left Chelsea last season, they made best decisions for their career, they went to clubs were would play regular. If martial wants to go, I don't see the problem of letting him, he has talent but won't fulfill it by sitting on the bench, these players and coaches are humuan, they will always make decisions which favours them and their career.

Players changes clubs, I don't the point of blaming Martial or Mourinho. At the end Martial wants out and doesn't agree a new contract. The clubs needs to make sure they get better deal when selling him and replace with someone better and who fits Mou needs.

The club is bigger than the player or the manager for that matter. Martial has talent, however down the years there have been many players with talent who just don’t get to the level they should. Maybe if Martial goes to a lower level team or one that makes him the focal point, plays to him and his strengths they may get more out of him.

However for me his mental attitude isn’t right, he doesn’t make things happen, things happen around him. Great players turn situations and in 3 years he has rarely made things happen when it really mattered. Yes, some good goals, similar in nature right foot, slotted in low bottom right corner, but rarely has he grabbed a game and made it his.

Would I like him to stay, yes but on our terms, work on his mental side to improve overall but like in games when it isn’t going for him he doesn’t knuckle down, make that difference, instead he shrugs and wanders off. If when he goes at some point he will do something brilliant and his fans will coo but if we want to be at the top everyone has to contribute and mentality is a big part of that, Martial hasn’t shown the mentality of a winner.

Csm I haven’t said Sanchez has been good or that his work rate makes up for that. But he has a great attitude towards playing the game, which I feel would benefit martial no end if he could develop when he doesn’t have the ball.

Couldn't agree more with that red Man. Excellent post.
