I am all for supporting kids but at the end of the year 22 years old Scott is average at best, I understand that he's tall and Mourinho might like to develop players like that but he doesn't have a skillset to be nowhere near any good for a Manchester United midfielder of any kind. Gibson, Cleverley, Pearson, Rothwell and I could name at least 10other youth players from our academy which have been at least a level above him and better footballers.
It is just Mourinho's stubbornes to develop a kid with a good attitude with good physical parameters and trying to prove his (non)point with a mix of luck for the kid that we didn't have any other single promising central midfielder who would be physically ready at the time.
I don't see any reason any team even in the championship would take a player like him on loan, he can put in a tackle as can 100other midfielders but boy can't pass to save his life.. If he gets out of United he will drop few leagues and would be surprised to see him reach the premier league level for few years, in fact I highly doubt he would ever play premier league on regular basis if we release him..
Quite possibly one of the worst posts I've ever seen on here, and that's really saying something.
Forums like these are made for debate, and obviously people will have differences of opinions, but to be so totally and catastrophically wrong is genuinely surprising.
You don't come through the ranks of Manchester United, get selected for the first team
consistently and in big games by being a League One level player.
Saying he can't pass is insane, he generally keeps it simple (as he's instructed to do in order to help with the transition between our defense and more creative midfielders) but there have been plenty of instances of him threading forward passes into good areas.
In the last 12 months he's impressed his club manager, his international manager (as well as Gareth Southgate) and Sir Alex Ferguson, but it's great to know that you know more and can so confidentially state that he's nowhere near good enough.
