I think rash is better playing on the left
But I also think martial isn't good enough up front, only turns up when in the mood
We are in bad need of a goalscorer but that's only for starters.

He might not be but we are not going to get one this winter so it only makes since to let it play out and we will know.

We may go for Dembele, Mandzukic or Callum Wilson during the January window.

I agree Leahy. Martial sruggles to keep cbs occupied. He’s a good finisher and capable of making intelligent runs, but his linkup play is woeful.
I think that’s the key issue. None of our strikers bring others into the game, and link with the midfield. Thanks just leaves them isolated up front and allows the opposition cbs to coast.

Martials link up play is not woeful, he has good technique, can trap and hold the ball up effectively.
His issue is the desire to make those runs time and time again even if he doesn't get the ball.
Much better natural striker than rashford.

He can trap and hold up the ball, but doesn’t bring others into the game. Watch him, his first choice is always to run with the ball.

Nothing natural about martial in the striker role. Nothing at all imo.

I’d take the experience and scoring of Mandzukic in Jan for sure. Much better striker for us than what we currently have and Rash and Tony would learn a lot from him.

Those rooting for Mandzukic must know that he hasn't scored more than 10 goals in each of his last 5 seasons at Juve. He would be a good signing as a back up striker but we need a striker who can score more than or close to 20 goals per season.

Becks. That's because he was used as a wide attacker at times to accomodate the other forwards.
With his physique and control, he can bring others into play.
He is a team player but will only be a very short term option.
