Correctly predicted him in my starting 11. See alot of decent qualities in the young man: passing range, positioning, and tackling. Hopefully takes his chance alongside Matic and emulates a young Carrick.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Surely no youth team player would get a chance at any club if the senior player ahead of them was performing at 100%.
If Jose had decided to play Herrera instead, he would be slated for not giving kids a chance.
Good luck Scott.
You can use that argument but you have to be consistent, like not suggesting LvG fluked into Rashford and Martial.
First league match for him this year!
Man Utd 1:0 Bournemouth
Keeps it simple and tidy .
I like him.

Don't think he is good enough if I'm being honest. Runs around alot but that isn't the calibre of player we need in our midfield. Bournemouth are skipping through this midfield far too easy and McTominay is doing nothing.
How are people not rating his performances???
Does the yards in midfield and comes up with some incisive forward passes. Isn't that what you want from a holding midfielder?

I am always biased towards our young players and rate them high but i just don't see anything special in him. Hope i am wrong here
Bournemouth skipped past him for 60 minutes with ease. Granted he has been better the last 10 minutes but it was far too easy for them before that. He just doesn't contribute a lot, well not to the degree we need a Manchester United midfielder to.
What a tackle to create that Rashford chance.
I think he has been great especially since he has only started a handful of games for the first team. Some people are never happy, expecting him to be as good as a prime Carrick or Matic. Some people just want to criticise everything.
I like the cut of his jib. Reminds me of Fletch aged 23/24 actually.
Had someone complain on reddit that McTominay was too invisible for much of the game. 
Some people can never be pleased. Not sure what people expect out of him during a game? He's supposed to be a defensive midfielder, and is not really at a level where he can control a game from that position.

McTominay is a very good player.
One of the better players for sure.
Liked his game today. He actually tries to pass forward.
Very poor first half but one of our best in the second. I like him.
Really like the look of him. Decent option for midfield.
He did quite well.
From what I saw of the match, I thought he played reasonably well. One over-hit cross that was a bit rubbish, one good surge and cross, several decent long passes that found United players running forwards. I may well have missed the important moments.
Him, Jones, DDG and Shaw were the only players in the side who had a good game today.
He's not mobile enough, at least not next to Matic, to be solid defensively in a 2 man midfield, but in the 2nd half he had some really bright spells. Good performance from him and expect to see more from him during this hectic holiday period.

He's not very creative, but feck me he's an excellent physical presence in midfield. He keeps the ball very well, wins most of challenges and his short passing is excellent.
He looks like a proper number 6. Can easily be molded to become Matic successor. He's very similar to him.

Few calibrations more from Jose & coaching staff and he'll be a very decent midfielder.
He knows how to win the ball in midfield. I like him, i think he'll make it. He needs more confidence to try to do more when on the ball, has shown his ability in glimpses but with less than 10 appearances under his belt, keeping it safe is fine.
Bournemouth seemed to get by our midfield too easily on a few occasions but I don't want to blame Scott because I can't say I was particularly watching his positioning that closely so it might have been a combination of things, he did well on the ball though and looked comfortable throughout, encouraging signs.
Yeah, he did well on the ball but Bournemouth got pass our midfield a lot and I wasn't sure who's responsible for that. But encouraging signs from both him and Shaw.
My stream was so shit that with those flowing (albeit blurry) sandy locks, I thought it was BFS in the middle of the pitch. But then he actually ran with the ball a bit and it assured me that it actually wasn't BFS.
He did well physically at the end but he was crap for 70 minutes. Anyone else saying otherwise clearly didn’t watch the game.
I miss BFS
Did well today. Was a bit stretched at times, but he hasn't exactly played much PL football before this. Learning curve.
I like his clamness, he's ok, just not sure he's got enough in his game for a team with our supposed amibitions.
Thought he did really well. He looks like he can perform at this level and I hope to see more from him. We have won all games he have played so far which is a good record too .
.This.
I think he’s definitely good enough to be a squad player for United.
Completely agree. If there is one improvement he can make its positioning I think. We were too open at times through the middle and against better teams we will get punished.
He is going to be a top player. Strong, calm and looks more experienced than his years.
It's obvious he has been told to keep it simple, so I wouldn't agree with some saying he isn't an attacking threat... there is a lot more to come from this guy.

Some of our fans are accepting mediocrity now it seems. Not to say he won't become a good player in time, but doesn't look like a United calibre player for me anyways. Standards have slipped for a few though I understand.
Good young player. Excited to see if he can kick on further and become a good player for us.
looking good so far.
