Think for most of this season we will see a front 3 of Martial, Lukaku, Martial. With the later being on the right. Still think he can adapt and become just as good there as on the left.

Cloning Martial?

 

[woolly]

Cloning Martial?

If only that could happen. Personally I feel Rashford would end up as a better choice on the right side, I just feel he is more adaptable than Martial.

Or why don't we just get a ****** winger so we have an alternative option! Doesn't have to be a world-beater, just someone who can offer something different when we need it.

 

[zzeezzy]

There has been very little to no indication that Martial will play well on the right, considering how good he was at start of season on the left I just don't get why we have sacrificed him for Sanchez. Sure he's a bigger name but he hasn't performed at any kind of level you'd expect.

Just feels to me that Sanchez has messed our team chemistry right up, we're now trying to build our attacking talent around him.. which to me is just wrong. Don't fix something isn't broken. Play Martial on the left and Sanchez experiment with him wherever.

We still badly need a winger though for the right especially, that's why someone like Rebic would be perfect. He can play that role and also if need be can be flexible to play elsewhere.

I just feel that whilst Rashford/Martial/Sanchez can be great on their day, when it doesn't work it becomes very predictable and you need that plan B.

Hopefully it will be Sanchez on the right, but we shall see.

We dont need a right winger. That is Sanchez, and he can absolutely play there, he was at his best at Barcelona and Udinese there

Yeh but Mourinho is **** bent on using him on the left which is why it is causing the problem in the first place. I have no idea why, it's a mystery. Lets hope he has finally realised..

Yeah, it makes little sense. That said, if he wants both Martial, Mata and Sanchez starting, you'd play them left to right, with Pogba and Matic behind. We need Sandro on the left, and someone to paly with Bailly, which could be Lindelof. But the problem is find that elite centre back

Think unless Levy folds can’t see many CBS out there elite wise to come in. Honestly would mind Lindelöf pairing Bailly. Then shop one of the chuckle brothers off and keep Tuanzebe in the squad.

 

[zzeezzy]

Tuanzebe and Bailly seems interesting to me, but I doubt Mourinho would like it enough to trust it as a starting pair.

If you only would have pulled the trigger with Perisic. Would have added so much to your side.

Tbf we did, but Inter were being ridiculous with their valuation and seemingly changing it as they went along.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Great news. Sanchez just tweeted off to the states soon. Visa sorted last day training in Manchester

Changed it twice after it was agreed. TBH Sanchez is easily superior. Just needs to be playing on the right hand side.

I would rather we signed a proper RW and let Alexis play his preferred position on the left tbh.

And lose Martial?

And lose Martial?

If he doesn't want to stay and fight like Rashford, Lingard, Mata and all the others then I guess let him leave. If not, I'd love for him to stay.

Sanchez will play whereever you want and be happy, so why play him left and buy a new right winger. Just play him on the right where he is less predictable anyway

Sooner see Sanchez on the right like his Barca and Especially Udinese days. Absolute nightmare playing there. I honestly thought he was the perfect replacement for Ronnie. Martial on the left is potential WC player.
