No attacking Md is better than payet,he is unlucky,he was first team player for France in the euros while playing for a pub team like west ham let alone Olympic marseille,mind you 2 marseille players made the cut

Payet is currently injured and might not recover in time for the World cup... I guess that's why he was left out..

Great list. Even the standby list is awesome, except(Benzema).

This dumb coach will regret carrying Pogba and not Bakayoko

I wonder how Payet missed out. Also Coman.

iheanyi40:
Payet should have been in that standby list, dude was amazing 4 dis season

He's injured that's why.

payet injury doesnt seem serious.the real suprise is mendy who hasnt played up to 6games this season

10Ebisco:

Apart from rabiot,laporte and coman,the other exclusions are justified
Benz is out cause of the valbuena issue
Payet due to injury
U can make a case for ben yedder but there is no way he's gonna start ahead of griezmann

Onyenna:


Payet is injured and might not recover in time...

I'm surprised Mendy made the list after just 4 matches or so all season..

okay tot as much, u de mind Deschamps, I wonder why lacazette was left out too

AreaFada2:

Coman is injured, just heard payet is too

KendrickAyomide:
Clowns like Benzema and Martial think they can flop all season and make the World Cup

Martial is not a flop, mourinho fvucked him up. He's definitely leaving man u next season.

iheanyi40:
Payet should have been in that standby list, dude was amazing 4 dis season

His 6 months injury during Europa final did him, if not payet would have made the main squad.

Was never expecting Martial to make the cut at all...

Mou Messed up his season a whole lot
Leaving Manchester United is best for his Career!

Probably head back to Ligue 1.


About Mendy, those arrowing crosses will be needed(attacking), and i think he still got the juice regardless of the injury.

Payet is injured o, he got subbed during the Europa league finals. I bet he would have made the list if he were fit

They didn't take Rabiot? Shit!

Benzema has been ban by the FA for over 2yrs now

injury is d cause he got d injury against atletico Madrid in UEFA cup final

Really diverse .

Portugirls will still beat France....

I'm still in shock via Mendy's inclusion....

he's injured bro

Payet deserve to be in the team

What is Dembele doing there

KendrickAyomide:
Mourinho is a Fool.. how can he bench Martial that his country qualified for the competition for Sanchez that is not even going

He had to save his neck first

I pick martial ahead of thauvin, lacazzette is not good enough to make the team, LaPorte ahead of Rami,rabiot ahead of nzonzi or Lemar, they have enough defensive minded midfielders in their team already.

iheanyi40:
Payet should have been in that standby list, dude was amazing 4 dis season

Injury just at the twilight of the season marred his dazzling performances and hard work.

iheanyi40:

What did Lacazette play in the season to justify inclusion?

You think all coaches are like Arsene Wenger who indulges failures?

All I see are big names... The Brazilians and Germans can easily outclass this guy's, the World Cup has never been a game for the big names, if you doubt me, ask Ronaldo and Messi

iheanyi40:
martial wasn't a flop, wen he had he's chances dis season he took em b4 d arrival of Sanchez

Na just mourinho cause dis one

MOU didn't cause anything.

Is he better than the person called up in his position, what you should ask?

Coaches look at the versatility of a player...apart from scoring goals can he defend if need be? Those are some of the factors we tend to overlook

Nepotism in even in France...leaving out ben yedder is crazy

such a pity

iheanyi40:
a big fool bro, Sanchez acquisition wasn't really needed cos d team was playing well January period, we needed a rw d man go buy Sanchez wey prefer lw

I disagree with you Bro, Martial was too inconsistent and too fragile to play in the Premier. He can't protect his ball properly, too lazy to win the ball back when dispossessed, lacks shooting accuracy, can't cross the ball properly, believe me i can go on and on. I'm a man United fan, and i hardly miss any of our matches. If United has kept playing with martial and Rashford on the winger, they would struggle to make the top four.

Put Ronaldo in either of the present Brazil, Spain, France, or Belgium squad and see him make the World Cup a carnival.
