Stuff like McTominay in a diamond makes me seriously doubt ETH going forward.
Hopefully he barely plays once Amrabrat is back.

And Mount
I like Mount, but I know that's not a popular opinion on here.
Wouldn't have paid the fee we did for him though.
Same
Shit as usual but he has his fans who’ll tell you he’s full of passion and hardworking despite displaying nothing on the pitch that exemplifies that.
He should be in the reserves now and not a part of our plans going forward. The last time I came across someone trying to play football because they were tall, I kindly referred them to basketball.
Lacks in a lot of areas to be playing for United.

The fact we turned down 30 million of pure profit for him is absolutely embarassing by the way.
I'd say Rashford was playing alongside Hojlund rather than behind him, but otherwise yes that was the formation (with Bruno and Scott swapping spots for about 15 minutes at the end of the first half). The four of them settling into a midfield diamond was very obvious whenever Brighton's defenders had possession. It's why I'll give Scott a bit more leeway for his Invisible Man act in this match than what I normally do. Doesn't excuse his laziness in actually getting back and doing some defensive work though.
I'd say ETH had two thoughts when setting up that way. Obviously the complete lack of right wingers bar Pellistri, but also to try to disrupt Brighton's normal midfield possession game. It actually worked very well up until they scored the first goal completely against the run of play.
Better than Rice people told me. Better than ward prowse they said and some numpty also had the audacity to say Goretzka is not better than him.
Just block them, with such shit takes, their posts aren't worth griefing over.
Not just Goretzka. He’s better than Rice and Caicedo as well.
How we didn't sell this excuse of a footballer, I don't know. Especially if the plan was all along to bring Amrabat to the team. It would've been pure profit on the FFP books as an academy player, and we could've really just replaced him with another academy player - Mainoo, Hannibal... who cannot really be worse than him.
Can't stand watching him jogging nonchalantly. Rashford does that also, but at least he's dangerous in attack, like a budget version of Mbappe.

Agree to disagree and move on.
Everyone has an opinion and this is a platform designed to voice them.
Blocking people over an opinion is petty.
27 years old, and still considered teenager. How is it even possible he is still at the club when we were offered 30m? I bet Westham feel relieved they dodged a bullet.
Well he's actually 22...
Not sure I've seen these quotes on here yet, so enjoy.

I don't understand why he is still here.
I think it's as basic as his physique and keeps quiet. He wouldn't be here if under 6 ft
I wonder how much influence eth had over him staying? With maguire he made some weird comments about him needing to fight for his place that seemed to encourage him to stay
Thanks - I thought he did quite well actually and I wouldn't be surprised to see him again deployed in that area against Bayern.
Are we all just making stuff up now?
This. Fred played more often than Scott and was always thr go to sub. Bonkers we let Fred go and kept rhis ghost around
Imagine your whole online persona being that of a Scott McTominay fanboy. You've got to be related to him or on a massive wum
What am I making up? It was a question
The notion that ETH “encouraged” either Maguire or McT to stay, based on banal responses to questions about them in press conferences.
If their opinion includes shit takes like Rashford is hardworking and Scott is a good midfielder, their shit doesn’t even deserve to be read.
It’s clear some people are oblivious to facts and stats that prove it if their favourite players are involved.
Well quoting what he said in a press conference quite clearly isn't making stuff up. Do you not think maguire might have seen those quotes?
And he is still here starting for us speaks volumes irrespective of injuries...? That was never going to be a physical type of game so unsure why we needed his attributes anyway...
My favourite thing about him is that he gets on the ball so little, almost every game passes him by but when he does get on it... well he offers basically nothing. He's shite both on AND off the ball which is some feat.
That he's still here is a damning indictment of our squad building, our recruitment, and generally the decision making at the club.

Who else do we play? Even the kids are injured. That hes still here, and we have no option but to play him, is bewildering. I've given up on the club until the Glazers are gone and Arnold and Murtough are shown the door.
The young lad that came on and scored for starters....
What are you on about? Poster in question should't ask himself/others is there anything behind ETH comments? He didn't say ETH comments made Maguire stay. But to question those comments as possible influence in Maguire decision making is legimitate question.
It’ a stupid question. What ETH says to Maguire in private (and you’d have to be insane to assume they didn’t discuss his future in private) matters infinitely more than vague answers about his role in the squad if he stays in a fecking press conference.
What's the point though? In a way that would be blaming Ten Hag for actually providing a fail safe mechanic to the sale of Maguire. To have an influence can be argued that he's the tipping point to get him to stay.
Utterly terrible decision not sell him for £30m.
Who says they've talked in private. You're just guessing it just like the poster you call out for. See how stupid this is?
And since Maguire is still in first team and plays his part seems like he said to him in private what he said in press conference- fight for your place and you'll play since Maguire is gonna play this season.
What's the point of discussing possible scenarios in football forum, really? God forbid someone else having different opinion.
So you don't believe he should provide a fail safe mechanic in the event that the Maguire sale fails? So if Maguire doesn't leave and the manager never made that comment, Maguire is going to be able to perform how he wants? Is that better for the club? I don't think so.
I could't care less what happens to player that no matter what you do simply isn't good enough for this club.
Saying he isn't in our plans puts pressure on Maguire to find new solution, saying he has place here if he want's to fight gives him easy solution since everyone will think he has backing from the manager.
But this isn't Maguire thread so back to topic of McTominay being shit player who got far more chances over the yeas than he should've.
