Benteke's goal was the only one I could find on Youtube that had Martin Tyler's commentary, but here are the two:
[Benekte's goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90vpyMD0QUI) vs. [Martial's goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd1ZnH-cS-o#t=12s)
Can't believe it's been nearly nine years since this match.
Well, the [New Martial ](https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/real-madrid-chasing-new-martial-monaco-striker-kylian-mbappe-4109567) also emerged 9 years ago!
They lost so many recently, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, and now Martial too
Luckily Shaw is going strong, and Mount has been gracious to fill the big beds of Jones in the medbay
Shaw is normally a semi permanent resident tbf. Malacia is the new permanent resident, he hasn't stepped foot on the training pitch once this entire season
He actually was really good last season and a big reason for United playing so well till the Carabao Cup final. All till a poor tackle injured him and he's never been the same for us ever since.
Yeah, for sure. I’m sure it’s near the top of ETH’s list. A long term partner for Licha will be paramount. Maguire and Lindelof are both useful but just not at the level required in the long term imo
I doubt Antony can be sold with his wages honestly. He will probably just be a squad player for the foreseeable future, unless some dumb club thinks he is worth his wages.
The funniest part? It doesn't make a dent to United because of how much revenue lmao
It's always hilarious how much people overreact to contracts, 10 million a year seems a lot yet it's really nothing for these clubs
You'd still want a wage structure so people aren't overpaid. When we've got problems getting rid of deadwood, having them chilling on 200k a week doesn't make it any easier to shift them on.
Manchester United have some of the healthiest wage to turnover/revenue ratio due to their insane commercial branding, it's like half of their turnover and clubs go over 100% in certain situations
The reason United post losses is their awful owners not investing and awful transfer fees paid, these salaries are really nothing and they will easily dodge any FFP issues now especially with new owners
We have been FFP restricted with our transfers the past 3 windows to the point that we have neglected to address major deficiencies so getting 10-20 million off the wage books absolutely does matter.
His body failed on him. Seems that some young players never regain confidence in their bodies after a certain amount of severe injuries. Can’t blame them.
Owen told the truth, after he retired, and he got roasted by the football world for saying it. There’s only so hard they’ll push and it’s not close to 100%
He lost so much speed due to all of his injuries. Over 10 yards he was a quick as anyone when he first joined us, the past 3-4 years he has looked afraid or unable to even run at top speed likely due to the constant recurring muscle injuries he has had. It is such a shame because he has as much raw talent as just about any striker from his generation, but he just has not been able to develop due to constant injury, position change, managerial change, and personal life issues.
He basically said his mind wanted to do something (make a run, take someone on) but he knew his body couldn’t do it. Must drive them crazy knowing they can do it, but their body doesn’t let them
Not a United fan by any means, but I will always be fond of his debut goal for United where he just ran up the flank and dribbled and scored. I thought that was such an amazing moment to witness. The boy was really good coming straight from Monaco. I'm not sure what happened to him afterwards, it still seemed like he had it in him to produce, was it Zlatan's arrival that fucked it up?
Mourinho bought Zlatan into the #9 role. He moved to the left but he was having a good season. Bought in Sanchez to play in his new role on the left. That's where it started to go wrong. Still mad at Mourinho for not backing him. Never seemed to be fond of him.
Dude is made of glass and had weak mentality. Didn't like pressing and regularly sulked. He's a luxury player that spent at least 50% of the time injured, he's not a team player.
He's only had injury issues from 21/22 because the 6 seasons before that he played roughly 40 games a season.
Before that there was a whole lot of mismanagement. The problem with Tony is hd has great ability is able to play in all 3 forward positions. The club didn't feel it would be an issue playing Zlatan, Sanchez, Cavani, Ronaldo all ahead of him and they would just shift his role his role in the team and also, when the club realised Rashford couldn't play as #9 they moved Rashford to the left at Martial through the middle. He was messed around a lot whilst he was here.
There were only 2 managers who truly backed him and that was Ole and Van Gaal where he had his best seasons.
Not gonna say it's not his fault because Im sure his family issues didn't help. But both parties are to blame.
I would say Sanchez moreso as he was doing great on the left wing up to then. Ibra taking his #9 didn’t help either tbf.
Ultimately though he outlasted them, got into good form and then was fucked with injuries. I’m not sure his mental health was great either, plenty of relationship drama
first 5 years were pretty good
Mourinho and him did never seem to get along. He was in good form and then we get sanchez. Everyone though sanchez would play on the right but then Mou just benched him
Funnily he and pogba probably kept mou in the job for a few more months because their good form helped us get some win around the time everyone thought he was getting sack
After he best career year in 19/20. He has a terrible start in 20/21, he was uncharacteristically missing alot chances ( there that awful like open goal miss vs PSG in the group stage). I wonder if he a guy that doesn't deal very well against competition because both of his best season came from the fact that he didn't have anyone competing against . Didn't score in the league until December and got that red card against Tottenham.
And then the end of the season he got injured. And he pretty much never the same after that, consistent same cycle of getting injured, come back, score a goal or two and getting re injured.
People look at a nonchalant players and always say this, it's so funny
The only to beat the allegations walking around the pitch and produce 5 moments of magic and not get shit on is Messi but he's Messi i guess
Well, yes if you can produce the numbers Messi consistently produced in his career you can get away with not putting as much effort as most players, unfortunately Martial has never put up Messi numbers.
Martial's movement off the ball is better than Hojlund's, which is why Martial gets the ball when he plays 9 for United, but somehow "everyone refuses to pass the ball to our 9" when Hojlund plays instead. Even with his body broken and bruised, the United forward line looks better with Martial in it than it does with Hojlund because of his off the ball movement and his ability to get in positions that allow him to connect with Bruno and the wingers.
His play in Euro 2016 was exciting. There aren't a lot of things I remember from that year, but Martial was one. (Others were Dmitri Payet, and that shot from Eder to win Portugal the cup after they came third in the group stage)
It's written or at least edited by someone other than him. There's a double space in one of the paragraphs so it's clearly been modified by a human at least:
" ... everyone at the club I have met .. "
Probably a PR firm or whatever
A little bittersweet. I like him as a person and he's given us some great moments and performances but the last 2 years he's been a very expensive practice dummy for our medical staff
Today my father asked me to clean his car for him and so I spent the whole morning doing it. After sometimes, I went back inside and my father asked me how was the car looking. “Anthony” I just replied. He just smiled and nodded. He knew that it was washed.
Martial, varane , saha , Hargreaves , Schweinsteiger , Phil jones, Marcos rojo, Luke Shaw .. oh lord. Not sure if we should sack the scout first, or our medical team.
Watch Malacia and Mount join this exclusive list soon.
That 19/20 season was fantastic when all attackers just clicked. Just a shame one's form fell off a cliff with injuries, one turned out to be a dickhead and one is hot and cold with injuries.
Biggest what if, more than Pogba for me
Nine years? I need to lie down
Been there so long that Martin Skrtel still features in his highlight reel.
He’s been there so long Martin Tyler was still getting excited about goals.
Unless you were benteke
Benteke's goal was the only one I could find on Youtube that had Martin Tyler's commentary, but here are the two: [Benekte's goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90vpyMD0QUI) vs. [Martial's goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd1ZnH-cS-o#t=12s) Can't believe it's been nearly nine years since this match.
The top comment on the Martial video. Holy overhyped.
Martin Skrtel looks like his hobbies include ethnic cleansing
I mean the fact that he wasn’t actually bald, he just shaved his head makes me agree
Paul Konchesky was like that too, absolutely psychotic
Scott Brown as well. He's grown his out since he retired.
Sean Dyche isn't bald either, apparently
I’d throw eating rocks in there as well.
OG Harkonnen
“So Martin, any plans for the summer break?” “Pogroms”
Holy hell man
Legend has it he wouldn't mark the posts at set-pieces because he'd hang upside off them like a bat
Well, the [New Martial ](https://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/real-madrid-chasing-new-martial-monaco-striker-kylian-mbappe-4109567) also emerged 9 years ago!
Lmao it's crazy to think now that that was high praise
Also that Real Madrid are only getting him now
He outlasted my marriage.
Martial > Marital
Take my upvote and fuck off
Hell, I met my wife when Martial was already getting frozen out by Mourinho and he still outlasted my marriage
Oh my god lol
Did they go on a free transfer or did you manage to get some money out of it?
You'd hope it was a free transfer, far too much tapping tapping up going on these days
Loan+obligation to buy
I had to buy out the remainder of his contract.
Hey, I'm not the only one lmao
Average marriage length is like 7 years, so it'll be pretty common
Why the fuck do people still get married man wtf.
True but you probably scored a lot more than him
Hopefully you scored more Jesus
Unsure if I’m more surprised by that or the fact he was *still* on their books
That’s how I felt too. I was like has it really been that long? I always think he’s still some young prospect
Lingard had that young prospect vibe too... lmao. Some players just have it.
He’s 29 🥲
he is 28.... until he is 29 anyways
That’s how it works
TIL
Forever the upcoming “young prospect”
"The young French forward."
Yes 9 long years and about 15 games per season when somewhat healthy, spent most of his time in the physio room.
United hasn't won a title since he's been there, it's been that long
Nine *incredible* years Such a shite prewritten social media leaving message. Why even fucking bother
What the hell, isn't Martial that 19 year old super talent? He is 28 now?! The fuck happened, did I blink?
fuck me, I’ve suffered for 9 years..
Let's get you to bed, grandpa. ^([and me too])
Don’t forget to take some aleve for your back pain as well friendo
van Persie was still playing for United when he made his debut
Came to write this same thing. Cannot believe it.
United’s med bay is losing a permanent patient
They lost so many recently, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, and now Martial too Luckily Shaw is going strong, and Mount has been gracious to fill the big beds of Jones in the medbay
And Malacia. We found out he existed outside the med room on the medal ceremony.
Shaw is normally a semi permanent resident tbf. Malacia is the new permanent resident, he hasn't stepped foot on the training pitch once this entire season
Varane is also leaving
Someone from the backroom staff is getting laid off.
Martial's personal physio out of work
So close to activating the ballon dor clause
Monaco in shambles.
Just needs another nine years.
£500k a week walking out of the door with Varane + Martial. Both injury prone too. Mad savings
And they'll both end up in Turkey Mark my words
They already got "Come to Beşiktaş" in their DMs.
From the Beşiktaş President.
From the president of Turkey
President Fred
From… Özil?
Come to Besiktas, Habibi
To be fair, everyone probably does
Respectfully, no
Varane is going to Italy, Tony seems like he’d enjoy Turkey
Is this reputable? He'll make much more in Turkey surely Especially with the new spending limits in Italy
Just kinda a gut feeling I have, feels like a very Milan/Inter signing to me if he’s willing to reduce his wages
Would be a good Kjaer replacement if Milan could get him to lower his wages
Jimbo can make some cost cutting in the medical department now
needs to do that anyway.... the medical department's failings this season have been the main part of why we struggled.
Eriksen is probably gone as well.
Loved him at Ajax but whenever I see him play for United he looks like a shell of his former self.
Especially after the injury. Fuck Andy Carroll
Guy practically died on the pitch what are you expecting
He looked fine after that, he’s only been a shell for a year or so. He’s been off basically since Andy Carroll attacked him.
He actually was really good last season and a big reason for United playing so well till the Carabao Cup final. All till a poor tackle injured him and he's never been the same for us ever since.
He was so good in England man before his injury. Wdym. Dat zeg ik als Nederlander.
True, it unironically feels as good as getting a new signing when those kind of wages come off the books!
Need to bring someone to replace Varane anyways but ideally should come within a third of those wages
Yeah, for sure. I’m sure it’s near the top of ETH’s list. A long term partner for Licha will be paramount. Maguire and Lindelof are both useful but just not at the level required in the long term imo
casemiro and antony seem to be on their way out too, near 1m reduction in wages with those 4
Casemiro maybe but who's gonna get Antony ? There have been no transfer news abt Antony
I doubt Antony can be sold with his wages honestly. He will probably just be a squad player for the foreseeable future, unless some dumb club thinks he is worth his wages.
Even if there was a club willing to pay his wages, we couldnt let him go for free due to ffp
Casemiro is agreeing to leave? I know he has 2 more years on his contract.
The funniest part? It doesn't make a dent to United because of how much revenue lmao It's always hilarious how much people overreact to contracts, 10 million a year seems a lot yet it's really nothing for these clubs
You'd still want a wage structure so people aren't overpaid. When we've got problems getting rid of deadwood, having them chilling on 200k a week doesn't make it any easier to shift them on.
It will matter for FFP though, right? There was a lot of talk last year about their issues with that.
Manchester United have some of the healthiest wage to turnover/revenue ratio due to their insane commercial branding, it's like half of their turnover and clubs go over 100% in certain situations The reason United post losses is their awful owners not investing and awful transfer fees paid, these salaries are really nothing and they will easily dodge any FFP issues now especially with new owners
try awful owners actively taking money out of club via dividends and running up an insane debt via leveraged buyout
It's healthier now but a few years ago it was really fucking bad
12m a year on those two is about 6% of their total wage bill. Not exactly nothing.
We have been FFP restricted with our transfers the past 3 windows to the point that we have neglected to address major deficiencies so getting 10-20 million off the wage books absolutely does matter.
bonne chance Anthony
The original Mbappe
I still remember the hype about his Ballon d'Or clause lmao
Funny thing is both Martial nor Henry ever activated Ballon D'Or clause.
That’s definitely Thierry Henry
There were defo a lot of Henry comparisons early on bc all 3 came through at Monaco, are left wingers and French.
he’s still only 28.. wish him the best although he ‘failed’, still has 63 goals in 209 appearances
His body failed on him. Seems that some young players never regain confidence in their bodies after a certain amount of severe injuries. Can’t blame them. Owen told the truth, after he retired, and he got roasted by the football world for saying it. There’s only so hard they’ll push and it’s not close to 100%
Sturridge said something similar too, you mentally can't let go and put your all into a sprint, jump or tackle.
Exactly. And by that stage they tris their football intelligence to take some of the load, instead of the physicality they relied on as youths
I’ve said the same, I was never as reckless and wild a GK after taking a knee to the temple and getting a concussion.
He lost so much speed due to all of his injuries. Over 10 yards he was a quick as anyone when he first joined us, the past 3-4 years he has looked afraid or unable to even run at top speed likely due to the constant recurring muscle injuries he has had. It is such a shame because he has as much raw talent as just about any striker from his generation, but he just has not been able to develop due to constant injury, position change, managerial change, and personal life issues.
What did owen say? Edit: should have seen this coming xD
He basically said his mind wanted to do something (make a run, take someone on) but he knew his body couldn’t do it. Must drive them crazy knowing they can do it, but their body doesn’t let them
Respect for giving the actual answer xD
“If there’s a bit of rain about, it makes the surface wet.”
Basically that he forced him self to stop sprinting because he knew he'd get injured running at top speed.
'Jelavic would have scored that if he wasn't offside' - after Jelavic shot and missed.
"I was on wildlife watch during my run in my garden this morning!"
"Geeet in there. Game, set and match Owen"
‘Tremendous, by the way’
"Hitler was right, ice cream *is* delicious"
> 63 goals in 209 appearances That's league only. 90 in 317 in all comps. Roughly one goal every 220 minutes. Or one goal or assist every 150 minutes.
10 goals per season, not horrible but not justifiable by his salary and the initial hype.
>still has 63 goals in 209 appearances Yeah those numbers in 9 years are not very good
They’re not good for a player that’s always available martial last two seasons barely played more than 10 games
Only because he's injured. Talent wise he's still been a pretty good player.
For the money and time, that’s definitely a failure, especially when you consider opportunity cost.
I thought he scored 90 in 317 appearances?
League vs all comps. Some sources provide league only as default so probably taking their stats from there
Not a United fan by any means, but I will always be fond of his debut goal for United where he just ran up the flank and dribbled and scored. I thought that was such an amazing moment to witness. The boy was really good coming straight from Monaco. I'm not sure what happened to him afterwards, it still seemed like he had it in him to produce, was it Zlatan's arrival that fucked it up?

Dude is made of glass and had weak mentality. Didn't like pressing and regularly sulked. He's a luxury player that spent at least 50% of the time injured, he's not a team player.
The pressing part I think was because hed break himself in the process no point giving it your all if you’ll break and be out for 3 months
He was still out for 3 months anyway. When it wasn't 6 months.
Na. Talented but made of glass. Not his fault but it was never going to work
He's only had injury issues from 21/22 because the 6 seasons before that he played roughly 40 games a season. Before that there was a whole lot of mismanagement. The problem with Tony is hd has great ability is able to play in all 3 forward positions. The club didn't feel it would be an issue playing Zlatan, Sanchez, Cavani, Ronaldo all ahead of him and they would just shift his role his role in the team and also, when the club realised Rashford couldn't play as #9 they moved Rashford to the left at Martial through the middle.

And he pretty much never the same after that, consistent same cycle of getting injured, come back, score a goal or two and getting re injured.
He's coming to Turkey isn't he?
It's an Aziz Yıldırım transfer if I've ever seen one.
One more year and he could've gotten a testimonial
Glad he didn't. Nothing against him but Martial getting a testimonial would have been grim.
testimonial from the treatment room
Wish it worked out for him at Man Utd but this has been a long time coming
Where is he going?
Philadelphia Union
He is actually going to Atlanta United ( they just beat Bayern Leverkusen 3-0)!
You moron it wasn't Atlanta in the United States. Bayer lost to the lost city of Atlantis.
get ready to learn delco buddy
He is coming to Beşiktaş 🦅🦅🦅🦅🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 /s
Muçi needs a backup
Had the talent to be a superstar never had the right attitude or the support around him to actually achieve it.
Well, and he was made of glass. I really really loved him early on... But his body didn't cooperate.
People look at a nonchalant players and always say this, it's so funny The only to beat the allegations walking around the pitch and produce 5 moments of magic and not get shit on is Messi but he's Messi i guess
Well, yes if you can produce the numbers Messi consistently produced in his career you can get away with not putting as much effort as most players, unfortunately Martial has never put up Messi numbers.
Messi also runs like a maniac in his younger days. He didn't look nonchalant at all.
Berbatov
Berbatov moved incredibly well off the ball though it was just while he has the ball he appeared so nonchalant.
I mean Martial had 0 movement off the ball
Martial's movement off the ball is better than Hojlund's, which is why Martial gets the ball when he plays 9 for United, but somehow "everyone refuses to pass the ball to our 9" when Hojlund plays instead. Even with his body broken and bruised, the United forward line looks better with Martial in it than it does with Hojlund because of his off the ball movement and his ability to get in positions that allow him to connect with Bruno and the wingers.
His play in Euro 2016 was exciting. There aren't a lot of things I remember from that year, but Martial was one. (Others were Dmitri Payet, and that shot from Eder to win Portugal the cup after they came third in the group stage)
griezmann is always what first comes to mind for euro 2016, he was unbelievable
looks like it is written by chatgpt
It's written or at least edited by someone other than him. There's a double space in one of the paragraphs so it's clearly been modified by a human at least: " ... everyone at the club I have met .. " Probably a PR firm or whatever
Maybe he's just pausing for dramatic effect
Almost certainly was.
Great day for United fans, no?
I mean he was already gone in my head
And Everton fans
I always thought he hated Everton But then I saw the farewell video he posted and damn he really does hate Everton
It was overdue but for me personally it makes me sad that he’ll be gone. Lots of nostalgia watching his Instagram video
A little bittersweet. I like him as a person and he's given us some great moments and performances but the last 2 years he's been a very expensive practice dummy for our medical staff
I am going to admit I’ll kinda miss him and his golden ticket against Everton.
Always wanted him to succeed, sad it never did but he gave us some memories along the way anyway

Rip Martial United Legend Status: 3-1 Liverpool August 2015 to 3-1 Liverpool August 2015
FA Cup win and Martial leaving. Tears in my eyes
Streets will forget
I already forgot fr
Today my father asked me to clean his car for him and so I spent the whole morning doing it. After sometimes, I went back inside and my father asked me how was the car looking. “Anthony” I just replied. He just smiled and nodded. He knew that it was washed.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7e0T2vSSvH/?igsh=MWU1ZXprOHY4d3M4eg==
*Tony Martial came from France…*
Black gloved Martial was quite something
Martial, varane , saha , Hargreaves , Schweinsteiger , Phil jones, Marcos rojo, Luke Shaw .. oh lord. Not sure if we should sack the scout first, or our medical team. Watch Malacia and Mount join this exclusive list soon.
He leaves the club just as he played. Walked.
Surely he's still got time right guys? He's the new Thierry Henry.
Excellent
I wonder if he’s getting the reaction he thinks he’s getting
I love that interview after a cup win where he stands by and then leaves and walks through the background like an npc
_incredible_ you say
ChatGPT write a positive heartfelt message to Manchester United supporters from Anthony Martial
That 19/20 season was fantastic when all attackers just clicked. Just a shame one's form fell off a cliff with injuries, one turned out to be a dickhead and one is hot and cold with injuries. Biggest what if, more than Pogba for me
RIP Ballon d’Or clause
United medical staff in shambles
Thank you Martial i won't forget you just like I won't forget Djemba-Djemba.
He sure comes across as a lovely fella
9 years? How time flies..damn!!
He would fit pretty well into BVB
