What're you even saying. Ever since that first full season of Ole, Martial has lost a lot of speed and bulked up. Worked on improving hold up play and everything else necessary for a striker. No manager with sense will throw Martial to the wings. Martial is coming into the season as a striker. You know this, everyone knows this.

As for your second point, that's why we're after Antony. Apart from Antony, no one actually makes sense in the market.
Martial has been shit as a striker. We're hoping he delivers this season. Unless you're saying he just bulked up this preseason. But the Martial we know was shit as a striker for 2 years. He made us appreciate old men Cavani, Ronaldo and even Ighalo at some point. He's yet to prove he can lead any attack as a striker, this is just preseason.

I didn't say Martial should be played on the wings, but he can deputize for Rashford in some games there. He can be rotated on the wings in some games, and if he's a serious player, he can do some good there.

Oh yes Antony. Ronaldo is the one holding that transfer too. It's less than 2 weeks to the new season

You don't get the point. We need to fill in the necessary positions first. This is the first year of the rebuild. There's the midfield, RB and RW that's really urgent.

Pep, SAF and whoever you want to mention won't leave those positions and look for a striker while we still got 2 here. You might not like it,but that's the fact.

And didn't Pep just solve the ST position this summer. Aguero has been past it since when? Haaland came into the club, where's Jesus? Cuz the one you're mentioning Pep.
Pep has proven many time he does not need an out and out striker in his team. He can afford to bench his strikers and play midfielders. That's the point. Even when Jesus was the only striker in the team, he still wasn't played enough in that position.

Even Rashford is a striker. Martial is not the only striker in this team currently, aside Ronaldo. We're not light there, and we do not need to buy a striker whether Ronaldo stays or not. If it's wingers and midfield, let them buy ffs. Let them just buy one at least. Ronaldo is not the one holding their transfers. Let us rest on this matter.

Asked Ten Hag about Martial, Sancho, Rashford and Fernandes: "It could be. They connect really good together. When you see that you are lucky as a manager, we have a threat, we have weapons, and we have to improve that every day, to develop that."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:07am On Jul 22, 2022
Ten Hag on concerns re Ronaldo not yet back: "Of course. But concerning is maybe not right word. I focus on the players who are there, they are doing really well, they are in good shape, I prefer to develop that. I cannot wait for him to come in, then we'll integrate him."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:58am On Jul 22, 2022
Ten Hag on Fred: "In the moment he is playing in the role as connecter, defending to offence. He is playing the role quite well. I am satisfied with his performance, with his improvement. I think he can even be better. He also brings energy in the team by his attitude."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:59am On Jul 22, 2022
Ten Hag on young players: "I think they do well. I also know the standards of Prem Lge and European football are really high. Are they ready to take the responsibility, to contribute? Are they conscious of bad situations? That is what I have to approve. They have potential."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 7:59am On Jul 22, 2022
Ten Hag on clubs having new signings on tour: "It is definitely an advantage we could have. But we are not in that situation. You have to develop the team with the players you have. Back in Manchester Eriksen, Martinez will join, I think they can quite quickly integrate."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:00am On Jul 22, 2022
Ten Hag on Garner: "James Garner just integrated in training this week, so I haven't seen him. I don't have, let's say fully an impression from him, I want to see more. Then I can answer the question and we will make conclusions and decisions."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 8:00am On Jul 22, 2022
Ten Hag on Hannibal: "Hannibal Mejbri plays some minutes, he did quite well, in training as well. He gives a good impression but it is also to do with balance in the squad."

SideshowBob:
I don't know why eth is still wasting his time on this guy. There are better alternatives even in the premier league. I said it that it was not owed salary that will make him not to come.
Who are the better alternatives?

It’s been 2 months and they don’t still know whether they’ll need a new striker or not? Okay they don’t also know we’re light in middle and wings? Why do they have about 6 CBs?
Which better striker dey market sha?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by melodyogonna(m): 8:20am On Jul 22, 2022
Joezinho:
Oga Patrick, what exactly is he doing ? He wants to leave. He's already 37. He is seeking challenge elsewhere. And yes!! The club lacks ambition!!!

Every player in man utd is meant to contribute to the team but very few come close to matching the effort Ronaldo put in on the pitch…

You can accuse him of many things but you can't accuse him of not giving his all to the club. Can't say the same about the other frauds..
This thing na rubbish sha.

But then we can't blame Ronaldo for that na as some people may want to do here. Whining and whining about Ronaldo everyday as if he's the cause of the club's inability to sign some players. For me, whether ROnaldo stays or goes, we already have two players that can play as a striker, Martial and Rashford. We're better off focusing on the midfield, wing and RB
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:11am On Jul 22, 2022
Erik Ten Hag: “It's the same for every player, he [Donny] has to do it by himself. Me as a manager and the coaching staff around him can do everything to set the right conditions so he can perform but in the end the player has to do it by himself.

“They have to take responsibility for their performance. Donny has the capabilities, I have seen it, but he has to prove himself.”
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:21am On Jul 22, 2022
Erik ten Hag on Man Utd working on signings: “We need more options, we have to strengthen the squad even more, we're looking around but we also need the right players”.

He has preferences...I will like to think EtH just doesn't want any player, he either gets the player he thinks he needs or nothing....
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:56am On Jul 22, 2022
Erik Ten Hag: "We signed Eriksen for the midfield department, so we are really happy with that. I am really happy with the performances from our midfield and our offensive department in this moment.

"I also know, this season, we talk about Bangkok, Melbourne as well, it's a lot of games, the World Cup, so we need more options. You have a good team, it's only about the team, you need a good squad to get the right results at the end of the season, so we have to strengthen the squad even more. So, we are looking around, but we need the right players."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 9:58am On Jul 22, 2022
Erik Ten Hag: "We have a squad here and as you know, we don't have a lot of time. We have to be ready for 7 August, the squad which are here is divided in generations. We have experience players in [the tour squad], but we also wanted to give some young talents the chance to show why they deserve to be here.

"Of course, I cannot give all young players the chances that they maybe deserve because we have to construct a team. But it's good to have them in. I see them daily in training, so I get a good impression from them, and from there on we can develop them by good plans. That is the idea, so not all the youngsters will get minutes.

"I have to set priorities and, in the future, they will play an important role in my thinking for building Manchester United. The other question you had about Maguire... we heard. But if you see, if you perform, then it slows down. I think the team and Harry Maguire impressed me by the way they play and then it quits."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:01am On Jul 22, 2022
Erik Ten Hag: "We have an intention to play brilliant football, only one thing, we have an opponent every time and they don't cooperate! First, it's about, in our philosophy, we want to play attacking football, proactive football and I know the opponent tomorrow is a really tough opponent so it's a great test. In that sense, Perth is really lucky."

We really need a left foot winger on that right flank. A left footer who can cross with his right foot.

Sancho can do a decent job but he shouldn’t be the first option. Shooting from that angle is difficult for a right footer. It isn’t for a left footer.

Martial bulked up physically that what I mean. Don't know what you think the bulking up means. I think he's a bit lean now but he's still lost a lot of speed. I was talking about this 2 years ago. Martial can't play from the wings again. So he's a Striker.

So if he starts banging in goals, he won't be shifted to the wings to accommodate Ronaldo. If Ronaldo starts, that means Martial on the bench.

Btwn no one is saying we can trust Martial, that's why we need someone else apart from him.

Lol you just agreed with what I've been saying na. We don't need to buy a striker as it stands. But if Ronaldo leaves, we actually need to.

I understand you love Ronaldo and you don't want to agree that this saga is affecting our plans a bit. But that's the truth.

Happened to Juve last season and it probably really affected them. They had to bring in a striker in January. They'd have done that last summer if they had the time.

We also don't need to buy a striker if Ronaldo leaves today. We already have two strikers. Did you miss that part or just chose to skip it so you can continue to hate Ronaldo for free?

Martial can play from the wings in some games. I don't know why we're arguing this. He is a striker and can also play from the wings.

We have over 60 games to play this season if we go as far as we can/should. Rashford won't play all those 60 games as the only LW. Who can he rotate with?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:31am On Jul 22, 2022
Bruno Fernandes: "He's [Ten Hag] very clear, so there's no way you can escape from that. Even if you don't understand English you can understand the way he wants to play, so I think that is really important for us."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:32am On Jul 22, 2022
Bruno Fernandes: "I know everyone is expecting so much from me because my first season was amazing and last season I only scored 10 goals and 14 assists. I know I can do much better than that."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:32am On Jul 22, 2022
Bruno Fernandes: "I think everyone will be happy at the end of the season if we can do everything he [Ten Hag] wants us to do."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:33am On Jul 22, 2022
Bruno Fernandes: "The main thing is following what he [Ten Hag] wants because I think he has a straight line that he wants to have with the team and I want to follow that straight line because I think we can be successful that way."
