I'd be laughing too if our rival club had the highest paid player in the Premier League history that actively makes their team worse on the pitch and stunts growth of the youth players.

I guess we've got nothing to lose if we try playing Sanchez through the middle, it's not like Lukaku is doing himself any favours at the moment and that was before the Juventus match when again he was rotten - "In the eight games since the 2-1 win at Watford on September 15, the United forward has neither scored nor created a goal for anyone else. And Lukaku can hardly put it down to poor finishing, on his behalf or that of his team-mates. The 25-year-old has managed just four shots in four Premier League games, none of which have been on target. Harry Kane has attempted four times that number and Sergio Aguero even more, but it’s not just the elite level strikers that have been a greater threat to the opposition goal – 95 players have attempted more shots than Lukaku since his last goal. "



I think it completely disrupts the team too. Like you mentioned, it takes time away from your incredibly talented young players. Now with him earning as much money as he is, you're going to see players like Pogba, Martial, Lukaku, all your big players ask for similar money because of the ridiculous money that he's on. I've truly grown to hate Sanchez, even when he plays for Chile, it's just disgraceful that he chose the money over winning titles and playing in a system that would be absolutely perfect for him.

The Martial - Rashford combo up front with them swapping all over is an objectively better lineup. Two young dynamic forwards that play off each other wow something Man United would never ever line up with :rolleyes: gave Pogba a lot more offensive freedom too

Of course soon as Lukaku is subbed on for Rashford there was limited offensive dynamic other than him jumping too soon for a free header on a perfect pass from Pogba and Martial somehow missing that 1v1 at the end

I don't know what's wrong with Lukaku, it would be understandable if he was poor for Belgium as well but he's banging goals in for fun whenever he' on international duty.

We don't have another game till next Saturday so hopefully more time on the training ground might help him somehow.

Martial in some mighty impressive form, simply can't stop scoring in the league.

I'm glad we won without Lukaku playing, hopefully Jose won't be trying to crowbar him back in to the side as soon as possible.

United need a lone CDM who can dictate the game a la Busquets or Casemiro. Matic is good but he’s not able to do what those guys are. That frees up Pogba to more soundly influence the game, with a front three of Martial and then Rashford/Alexis playing off each other

That way they can line up something like:

Martial - Rashford
Alexis
Pogba - Fred/Mata
CDM
