Like I said before. Fix the midfield, forget the forwards. Midfield first. These two, Pogba, and Matic have failed us for years already.

This is so frustrating, we can literally buy Tielemans and Ruiz if we want and that would be a big upgrade, but no we waste time on these clowns. FFS, use the likes of Garner, Iqbal or Savage even, seeing the same cnuts who let us down time and again being given chances is frustrating to no end.

This is only a shock to those who think Fred is a good player or that Mctominay is a decent squad player.

These two are terrible and its criminal they are lining up for us despite overwhelming evidence of them not being good enough. There are at least 12 midfield pairings in the league better than those two. Mctominay probably doesn't start in any team in the league. I watched Paulinha yesterday for promoted Fulham and he blows these two out of the water.

We have two midfielders with a terrible first touch. That takes some doing.

Bruno needs lumped in as well. He’s just as abysmal and his future just as bleak.

UTD! I am not fond of the Glazers.
Looking good.

Every year I put my trust in to these two. And I'm always disappointed. But I like to be disappointed so next year I'll do the same, all over again. My name is Manchester United.

These guys along with Bruno completely destroyed any positivity with their awful play. Then it seeped onto de Gea (although that could be just that he wasn't put in any situations to mess up until he got the chance and completely failed). McFred are completely useless. The midfield is supposed to have arguably our best technicians. These two are our worst.

Fred and Mctominay are the worst midfield duo in premier league, by far.

ETH saw it in training, he still waits for the FDJ lalaland dream, so be it.

Already you have people blaming the manager because of these two. Absolutely sick of the sight of these two

Truth is, Mctominay should be sold and Fred backup but the club needs to have the balls to make these decisions. RR was right about one thing - we need a revolution not and evolution

If there’s money there, and he can’t see past De Jong then he should be open to criticism.

As predicted months ago, these two assclowns start the first game of the season. Crime against humanity.
And why is the Manager picking them he can play Martinez in midfield Zidane IQbal or James garner enough is enough they Mctominay and Fred have got the last 4 managers sacked maybe ETH should take note !

The definition of insanity is starting McFred and expecting anything other than every single team bullying us off the park

What a shit show we are watching so far, Mctominay is the worst Midfielder on the planet and Fred isn't far behind.

He is responsible for picking them at the same time no ? Why would he not be considered responsible for that ? What's to gain from playing them together ? I think it's a fair thing to criticize

I actually think he’s been our worst player by a mile. He was horrendous last season and every move breaks down as soon as he gets the ball.

Shocking the pair of them, obviously a massive weakness and still not addressed.

Yes, this is going to take years to fix as most of the players need to be weeded out of the team. It doesn't matter who we sign as every single player will just fall into the same thing.

We need to get rid of the vast majority, if not all, of the squad.

I try to not be too harsh on them but their ability to liquify whenever there is a bit of adversity is staggering. You can't even focus on their good sides because anything can turn the both of them into pumpkins. And others have said, it also applies to Bruno.

Remind me who selected them after spending all summer refusing to go for a midfielder because FDJ was the only acceptable option?

McFred really are a disgrace for a side that has even top 6 aspirations.

If I had those two playing for my team West Ham I'd be somewhat underwhelmed. For a team with Man Utd history and supposed financial ability, to have those two out there is nothing short of insane, sorry.

McTominay is generally one of the worst midfielders in the league
