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?

I don't know if we've ever had a bigger gap from a first choice player and his backup as we have from Casemiro to Mctominay.
McTominay is not good enough, even as a back up squad player. Never laid a glove on anyone for the entire game. Never got close to the action, was chasing shadows, out jumped by smaller players, tackled easily, too slow to see out any danger, and when we had the ball he never showed for it.
The only good thing about today is that Ten Hag saw it all and he won't make the same mistake twice. Casemiro got a rest as well.

Championship player
The writing was on the wall when he chose to play for Scotland, very few lads born and raised in England would make that choice if they thought they were good enough

Poor man's Darron Gibson.
Was anonymous as expected. The difference between Casemiro and this guy is staggering.
Agreed, was baffled by the team selection.
We need new midfielders. Badly
Utter useless player.
Constantly shows some of the most inconsequential defending I've ever seen. False DM. Just there to trick other managers we have an extra body.
It's both. The team is made of individuals and none of them in our midfield can claim to be the exception. I'm sure their threads are the same. Mctominay is however the one who can't really argue he's good at bringing some other skill or talent
Think that's impossible
Gibson had a better shot on him, even with McTominay's decent striking of the ball.
Yeah, I could definitely see another Phil fecking Jones situation brewing if we're not careful. We shouldn't reward utter dross like him. He needs to feck off and never come back. Awful footballer.
Tragic performance. Was just snatching at everything and couldnt make simple passes.
Couldn't even make fouls to disrupt their momentum which is the one thing you would at least expect especially near the end

Should have sold him this January.
That two yard pass he couldnt make near the end. Arsenal scored the winner then.He is not good enough. Mourinho gave him his chance because he was tall and could defend crosses. No technical ability about him.
Was awful imo.
He was so, so poor.
awful today
out of position a right few times, naive pressing and that lunge at the end cost us

True.
took tike off this forum when casemiro was bought and there were idiots on here trying to make out mcdonkey was something he wasnt, hes never been good enough for this club! a player who doesn't possess any technical ability playing in the heart of the midfield for manchester united? whats that about?!
i cannot wait for the day he is sold, him and Maguire are the last two who shouldnt be anywhere near this team.

I agree totally with your review of his play, but I don't think Ten Hag is playing him because he doesn't also see that. McTom played because with Casemiro suspended there is no one else.
If there were a better option available today, he would have started over McTom, there just isn't one in the squad.
He cannot play deep in a midfield. He does not show for the ball and lacks the discipline and passing range to be effective.
I'd have him over Scott any day too, but no-one can argue that the two of them together seems to create a rather predictable game. Throw in the Ole version of Rashford today and we get exactly what we all saw.
The worst player from an old era hopefully coming to an end!
He has the strength, the attitude and the physicality. That's it, we need much more than that if we're going to compete.
Can't get rid of him now as we are really light weight in midfield but we need to move on from him. Bring players that can actually challenge for a starting place.

Bloody hell.

fully agree. I hope he forces a move out of the club.
If we don’t sign a midfielder this summer I’ve no hope. Scott and Fred aren’t it. So tired of watching them be inadequate for Man United
Barely even noticed him, which is terrible for a midfielder. Anyone got his stats from the game?
People literally had their drafts saved when Casemiro got suspended.Bloody hell.

The huge difference is that Fred played alongside Casemiro. It's suicidal either way and just shows how garbage our midfield options are.
Is that what we are calling the worst midfielder in the squad for either side today, much less the entirety of the top 6?Bloody hell.

A scapegoat?And previously, more notably under Ole, we did well when Fred and McTominay played together, especially when we were setting up to counter.
Why is he the only option there? Ten Hag has some culpability. I was being a bit irrational in the summer, but in August I remember saying that whether or not I support Ten Hag would depend solely in whether McTominay made it to September as a United player. If he saw any value in him, I would struggle to have any confidence in such a manager to come in and straighten things. Now of course, Ten Hag is great, but I still cannot defend or excuse any coach’s decision to look at Scott and fancy him as a midfield option for a top side.
So yea, he’s all we have, but he should have been sold and replaced last summer, so the fact that he’s the only option is Ten Hag’s fault as much as anyone’s. If we find ourselves in a situation next season where Scott is the available option, he takes all blame because Scott can’t have done anymore to demonstrate that he is useless.
Bloody hell.

So do you think he was decent today? There's absolutely no way he's a Manchester united quality player. Not even in rotation.People literally had their drafts saved when Casemiro got suspended.
Hopefully a good summer window will mean he’s surplus to requirements. He’s had the odd very good game here but it’s been obvious since for a while he’s reached his level.
Just watched Saka's goal and he literally steps in behind odegaard to hide
He's just no where near a backup let alone a starter

Defensively, I thought he was pretty good actually. According to whoscored.com, he was our 3rd best player, with a rating of 7.05.
Made the most clearances (9) and joint most tackles (4) in the game. On the ball, nothing special but he was never there to be that and neither is Casemiro. We expect that from Eriksen and Bruno, both of which had under 80% passing accuracy.
Whether or not people felt McTominay had a good or bad game today, I personally believe he was always going to be targeted because he was asked to come in a replace the best defensive midfielder in world football.
An absolute donkey performance from the player and people have the audacity to call him a scapegoat. This forum.
