Nothing player. Ship him out
Absolutely. A sign of how no-one at the club has a clue what the standard is any more.I start to think with McTominay that there have been better players before and after McTominay from the academy that haven’t had a fraction of the opportunities he has had to play for Manchester United before being moved on.
It’s almost the case that he found himself in the squad due to a run of poor midfield recruitment during the worst period of our recent history and now that he has established himself and aggregated a significant number of appearances he simply exists as a Manchester United first team player without anyone at the club seemingly questioning whether that should be the case.
Worse still, he has now somehow over the last couple of seasons inherited the status of first team regular due to the departure of Herrera, the ageing of Matic, the unreliability of Pogba and the failure of Van De Beek. The bar has rarely been lower to start every week for Manchester United.
I like McTominay but it has been a hell of a long time now since he had anything resembling good form for a period of at least 3 games.
It is worrying that this level is rewarded in such a way.
Genuinely confused as to why he's a starter going into the season, De Jong stuff aside. It's too hard to play the kind of football Ten Hag wants to with a CM who doesn't want or know how to get open. It's asking for counter attacks surely.
Its mind boggling. If Zidane played like that we wouldn’t see him until Christmas but because Scott is older he gets picked every weekGenuinely confused as to why he's a starter going into the season, De Jong stuff aside.

Harsh on championship midfielders.Championship level
Actually you are right there is some decent quality in that top half of ChampionshipHarsh on championship midfielders.
Even more bizarre was that people bought into him and praised his performances that season. Even for a kid thrown in at the deep end he was bad.Brought into the first team by Jose to prove a point and humiliate Pogba. Bizarrely remained as a starter ever since.
Checked the first two out. You are rightThe first page makes for hilarious reading.
It was Fred who played in the FdJ role today (the 'connector').
I can totally see the logic if he didn't think Cristiano had 90 minutes of fitness in him. The plan was for Eriksen and Bruno to drop deep once we had the ball and for McTominay to get into the 9 position and actually give us an aerial option or one running in behind (he moves well enough in a straight line).It was Fred who played in the FdJ role today (the 'connector').
For some reason, EtH asked McTominay to play like Kaka bursting into attacking midfield at every opportunity.
I would honestly ship him off to Aberdeen for absolutely nothing. Aberdeen were very close to relegation last season, and that is where McTominay's potential lies.His potential is scottish league and thats where we ought to send him asap
