That to me sounds more like Jose knew he wasnt quite right but wasn't sure what it was.

Martial wasn't injured. He lost the ball and then looked up. Once he realised Watford were in a dangerous position he faked the injury and played on the earlier knock to his head

I didn't see the game. That is disappointing if true.

He should've been taken off after the head injury.

He was clearly concussed.

How is it odd??

He clearly states he is unsure as to which injury affected him i.e. ankle, knee or head. One thing for sure was that he was in no condition to carry on..


Thats how i read it...

It did look odd, couldn't see any real injury from the incident which led to the goal. It could well have been that he wasn't in the right frame of mind to carry on or maybe he was still feeling groggy from the previous head challenge. Double concussion is a seriously dangerous injury, not that I think he got any concussion from the second injury but maybe it effected it?

For whatever reason Martial hasn't looked great this season, hopefully it's just a lack or form and confidence.

TRS

If the physio felt he was concussed from that head challenge then isn't he legally obliged to bring him off?

I thought so too.

From the pictures, he clearly didn't look right.

Jose and the medical staff all over again.

Any one saying he wasn't injured is stupid

people can still look up after getting shot so the fact he looked up is completely irrelevant

also watche the video of martial after the head collision where he had to faollow the physios finger with his eyes (there was a delay)

jose seems very keen to blame players
he was notorious for this before he joined us
every game he has lost at utd he has found a player to blame. Today it was shaw

Wasn't right in the head since his number was taken away

soccer?lol.

I get he wasnt ok but why did it take that challenge to decide he needs off, kinda like if that foul didnt happen and there goal would he of went on.

Maybe after what Jose did to his previous medical team he didn't have the balls?

Reminds me of the whole Hazard situation, when he blamed the player for being injured

Didn't Hazard actually feign the injury?

many people are usually not aware of the severity of a hit to the head. And try to soldier on. and all it takes is one smaller hit to bring them down. I think this was what happened o martial today

Are you lads mad? Martial bumped his head earlier but when he was bought down before the goal watch his head. It bounces of the grass.

They showed it in slo mo and it looked awful.

Regardless of whether he was injured or not (and he clearly was), the manager should be trying to protect the youngster shouldn't he? As opposed to questioning whether he was injured or not...

Right from this start Maureen has been doing a poor job of getting everyone on side. He needs to get his man managerial A game going before he loses his players...

It's nothing like the Hazard incident. The whole issue with that was their physio went against Jose's wish and went on the pitch to attend Hazard.

I think Martial is done for at United

Memphis

He wasn't questioning if he was injured. Just what the injury was.
