so what you''re saying is keeping McTominay will be the solution to everything?
What I'm saying is that getting rid of McTominay won't solve anything.
There's no magic bullet.
Casemiro, Bruno, Mount, Eriksen, Mainoo (Erik talked highly about him). That is 5 in front of him. They all play before him. Both no10s (Eriksen and Bruno) will play before him in deeper positions. So yes, he is 6th choice.
Bruno as an anchorman?! I would genuinely love to see that! People with a heart condition should look away, though.
From a Scotland point of view, McGinn is our Bruno. Sloppy in position and plays high risk football.
Steven Gerrard played McGinn as a no 6 at Aston Villa. He was abysmal and the scape goat for the fans. Emery plays him as a no 10. He's one of the driving forces behind Villa starting so well.
I would love to see Bruno as an anchorman. Would be hilarious.
And no, a youngster like Mainoo would not be a better candidate to a team who is genuinely looking to challenge the top 4, than a player who has EPL, European Cup and International experience.
The fact you are making up quotes only makes your entire point even more ridiculous. Nobody said any of those things, just like nobody is saying that selling McTominay will cure everything and we'll challenge City.
Other than physicality, which he doesn't actually even use very well anyway, Scott simply doesn't provide anything to a level that makes him a good option even off the bench. Therefore it entirely makes sense to sell him and use that money to sign somebody who is better. Somebody who will be a better option off the bench, and who is a better option to start either as a tactical choice or when resting others. Nobody is saying to sell him without signing a replacement which is what you seem to be refusing to acknowledge. It's not the sale of Scott that improves us, it's the replacement that we sign from his sale.
Yeah. Well. If we have to sell in order to buy then Manchester United is in worse condition than I've ever known.
If its a FFP issue then maybe if EtH hadn't overspend on Antony and Casemiro and Mount we might have a little bit of change left in the kitty.
And contrary to popular misconception, McTominay has contributed more than the aforementioned. But don't tell that to the "He hides from the ball" mob.
As a United fan I would find it immensely funny if McTominay joins Bayern Munich. Starts regularly in his best position. Scores a barrel-load. Is a darling of the fans..and returns next season with a Bundesliga winner's medal in one pocket and a European Cup Winner's medal in another.
Suddenly he wouldn't look like the problem.
