He’d probably work in back three like Maguire but in a two with so much responsibility and onus on reading the game he’d be a fecking disaster.
This myth/phrase never dies, isn't it?
If player is not United quality then he is not good for backup either, ffs.
If your definition of backup is "just to have a body out there" then we have enough kids to play that.
Agree. He actually has the attributes to be a wing back which is his capability to man-mark players, track back, dribble and shoot. He has good stamina and decent pace as well. As a full back, he also has the potential.
Also lets not forget that he is tall and strong with good shot. He has potential to be quality striker too
Bloody hell
If Newcastle want him we shouldn't kids their hands take the money and run away.
Doubt Maguire will go, but could see this one happening if a decent fee is offered, which is quite likely.
Maguire going would leave us a bit short in defence, not sure Mctominay going would be really be an issue.

I’ll drive him to whichever club is stupid enough to want him myself.
Maybe we can do a deal with Everton, Him in exchange with some money for Gordon

Just goes to show the flaw in this current obsession with stats.
And that people just cherry pick out the ones that suit their point of view.
He can carry the ball, is excellent in the air and his passing is nowhere near as bad as some make out. Doesn't mean he is a starter for a club with Utd's aspirations but he is a solid PL player who can help a lot of teams.
I think guys like MCT, Fred and Maguire become lightening rods for all the criticism of the team. Pretty certain that Casemiro is not going to enjoy playing behind the laziest front 3 in the league, constantly leaving the midfield exposed with runners coming from everywhere.
McTominay is one of the most limited non-GK passers in the game in EPL.
he can simply perform 3 kinds of passes, after at least one touch on the ball, with medicore accuracy:
1. standard first-first-thing-taught-in-football-classes inside foot passes a few yards away
2. vertical passes 0-40 yards forward on the ground
3. slow 30-50 yards aerial cross field long balls
that's all.
he has zero ability to perform 1 touch passes (which is pivotal to breaking defences)
he has zero ability to cross (can you remember him whipping in a single good cross?)
he has zero ability to play overhead longballs forward (like how even Lindelof has assisted Rashford several times)
he has zero ability on deadballs
he has zero ability to make a lob or chip passes
he has zero ability to do lay offs for his teammates to shoot
he has zero ability to make diagonal swerved passes (like how Fred assisted Elanga's header last year or Matic assisting ronaldo/valencia)
he has zero ability to play back heels
he has zero ability to add swerve to his passes
he has zero ability to pass with outside of his foot
he has poor ability to pass with his weak foot
his "vertical passes 0-40 yards forward on the ground" are never chance creating passes.
it is okay for a midfielder to miss a couple of skill sets about, but when a player is as limited as McTominay, it makes you very predictable and easy to get countered.

He'll start tomorrow.
If it wasn't against the rules, I'd just go "lol" at this.
you will agree with me if you keep my comment above in mind and watch the next few games with mctominay, and watch a few more games how those midfielders from midtable teams play and the variety of passes they have in their toolbox
i know you cant use any facts to refute me.
We should try him wide!
I think he could be better than DeGea in goal? He is tall, strong and can jump high. He won't be scared to come out. His passing is outstanding compared to DeGea. He has been tried as a CB by Jose. Has played in midfield too. I think he may have even played as a false striker during a couple of matches.
the amount of fans trying to find a position for him is laughable.
dont get the obsession with this fan base to keep a player isnt good enough around the team, its going to be so refreshing to see him finally out of this team.
so far weve had try him CB, RB, Striker and now out wide ..hell be picking the side next.

I am literally one of his biggest critics, I am joking.
One thing i havent seen him do much is diving though...
In December 2019 Mourinho said he was Uniteds best player
I can remember thinking Scott should be the first name on the team sheet.
He scored some cracking goals last season
He always gives 100% which is more that can be said for the majority of the squad

Man Utd 2:1 Liverpool
Dude did well, very disciplined positionally and tactically, a couple of rough moments but the type of solid backup peformance he should be suited to. Covered a lot of ground covering passing lanes.
To the bench. And rightly so
Can't fault his heart today but he was a mess on the ball.
very good today
Did his part. Much improved, a few good passes early on and plenty battling in midfield
This aged well
A Man Utd player needs more than just heart. He's almost always awful in the ball. Butter feet. Ball always gets away from him so he has to tackle.
He was good today, I wish he could always be like this and he'd make a great dquad player
Did well with his limited capabilities, but he consistently undoes the good things he does straight afterwards (e.g. tackling a player and then just passing it back to them) - can have a use, but Casemiro will be a beastly upgrade.
Very good for the first half. It's what is so frustrating about him, he does show here and there that he's capable of actually playing well and being a good option.
Struggled to make much impact in the second half though, on or off the ball.

He actually did well today. Made a few mistakes here and there but he also did well on many occasions. Fair play to him.
His best game for us in a while, but that’s not saying much when the standard is so low. Casemiro will be an unbelievable upgrade.
His type of game. There's a place for him at the club purely for the battles
Fantastic today and that's coming from a big critic of his.
