I think we’re in danger of splitting hairs here. Without being simplistic, for me it comes down to this-
Martial has all the natural ability in the world but rarely seems arsed to use it and is one of the laziest players I’ve ever seen at Utd.
Dan James has virtually no natural ability at all bar pace but works his arse off.
Both are ultimately useless to a club that wants to be taken seriously. Only one of them is a criminal waste of talent though and he’s not from the valleys.

There is a rumour that Joel Glazer is a massive Martial fan and twice stopped Jose trying to sell him. And of course then he was awarded a 5 year contract.

It probably is....the question is how long it will last before he gets bored of his football again or complacent and no longer can be bothered.
The good thing though is that with all our attacking options we don't need them all firing at once. For example last season when Rashford's form plummeted and the goals dried up for him Cavani and Greenwood picked up the slack and went on scoring sprees.
I can see him taking his chance and starting the season well and if he can do that then he'll probably keep his place in the team at least until Rashford is fully recovered from surgery and matchfit. But we need to be absolutely ruthless about dropping him or benching him as soon as his performances start dropping or the goals start drying up again. And if he cannot hack the competition for places he can sulk on the bench and go out on loan in January.

He’s regressed plain and simple. Joel was wrong about him.

He's done. He's had countless chances now. 1 goal in 24 games is pathetic for a player with the talent he has. His attitude is wrong, he's lazy.
Actually a real shame as it's a big waste of talent. On his day he's a superb player. He just doesn't have enough of them.
Wish him all the best but think its best for club and player for him to move on.

I have no faith in him ever becoming a top player at this point, at least not here.
It’s definitely in the best interest of both parties to find him a different club. In my opinion, Martial could play an interesting role in us bidding for Kane or Haaland this summer, as I believe both Spurs and Dortmund might be keen on taking him as a replacement.
