Scott Mctominay put in utter shite for 90 minutes.

Imagine watching that and trying to comprehend to yourself how you're not getting a go.

Think of it as someone competing in your job, who you show more qualities and are clearly a more skilled player than, while they constantly reveal their limitations, but you are unable to prove it because you are never given a chance to do so, while they rack up the moments, or promotions I guess? Despite how many times they feck up, you are ignored.
Its infuriating.

I don't think he's done much in his time here, but he really hasn't been given the opportunity to show much either. He's been badly managed by Solksjaer and if the stories about him being promised more game time are true I can understand him being annoyed. He's yet to really feature.

Why? He was irritated because he didn't feature and we were losing. He is just frustrated. Nothing in it
No because he's been lied to again. Last season the CL was his biggest chance for playing time. Now with already been out of 1 cup and him not playing in the CL, i'm pretty sure he knows he's not getting any playing time soon.

Don't know how you could look the current players in midfield and not give him a proper run in the team.

At this stage any player with a half a brain who can control and pass a ball would be better in there than Fred or McT.

He wasn't happy at all. Cavani and matic warmed up for 15 mins and then came on, he was sent to warm up and was warmly received by the crowd. 15 mins after still warming up lingard and Fred came straight on ( no warm up at all) ... vdb walked back to the bench, tore off his warm up bib and threw it to the floor. I did feel for him!

If he can't even be used in subs, especially over Fred, it's game over.

Yeah and after he was basically MOTM against West Ham, he hasn't played a minute since. It really is disgusting now. Feel so sorry for Donny.

Fred - a left footed midfielder with some defensive capabilities - came on to replace Telles at LB to see out the game. What was van de Meek going to do?

I've been Donny's biggest critic on here since before he even signed for us and I don't blame him one bit.

We stop his move to Everton, and in the one game he plays a full 90 mins, he puts in the best performance from a central midfielder - aside from Matic - we've seen all season and still can't get a sniff after it.

That's poor however you look at the player.

I don't understand why we didn't sell/loan and get someone else in. They can't offer any less than him, and would struggle to do worse than the existing options.

His performances are looking increasingly world class watching his competition every match.

40 million angry bench player. It happens... Fergie would be fuming if Phelan or Queiroz bought him for that money.

Can we report Solskjaer for workplace bullying? Because this really seems like it

Why not try him on no6? Surely, surely he can do better than McT or Fred
McTominay is clearly blackmailing Ole. It's a disgrace that he got rewarded with a start after possibly the worst performance by any midfielder in the premier league this season on the weekend. Then he stinks the place out all game today, gets kept on over Pogba when we're chasing a goal & then lasts the full 90 whilst we're still chasing a goal and Donny is on the bench.

I already said before transfer window even closed, we should have sell him. We have too many good players in the squad now that some players who have good value in transfer market and high wages now even far behind in pecking order. Him and Martial won't even get game time. And this is where Rashford is not even in the squad.

Guy had a loan lined up to Everton and was told no as he would play. Zero indication of that. Essentially wasted 2 years of his career. Has every right to be fuming.

Martial doesn't deserve a lick of gametime and he has already been given plenty. Donny deserves it, but he has not been given any.

The kid needs to hand his transfer request and leave. There's nothing for him here. Just wasting his career away.

He's frustrated, but the subs that did come on literally changed the game. Really don't care if he's annoyed when the right outcome was reached from the decision.

Seen absolutely nothing from VDB to suggest he is a Manchester United player.
It does seem to me that the more games he doesn't play, the better he seems to get on here.

He is broken and damaged goods now. Even if he plays, zero confidence. We are at rock bottom here with him. Deep down, he hates Ole.

We can be happy to get half of the fee back

By that measure, he should be playing every game, since the shit Fred, McTominay and Matic serve up on a weekly basis seems to get them constantly rewarded with more gametime.

It's not even the fact he doesn't play, we have multiple offers for him in the summer, yet Ole blocked the sale, why? It's almost like he seems intent on ruining this guys career, nobody is suggesting he is a world beater but when our midfield looks dire every game at least give him a run of games and see what he can produce, not 5 minute cameos every now and again, it genuinely cannot be any worse than what we have.

And again, why didnt we sell and buy a midfielder Ole would have used? It just makes no sense at all

I don't have any idea what you're talking about. He performed very well against Young Boys before being taken off and we absolutely dominated the midfield with him against West Ham. And this is him without getting ANY run of games. Certainly deserves to warrant a start over either McTominay or Fred...
