It’s all comes down to the narrative set by the media generally, like anything in life. If you say something often enough, it becomes true.
According to the narrative, McTominay is a decent but limited midfield player who isn’t “United standard” and is picked because of his work-rate and passion.
Therefore, half of this forum generally see it that way by default.
I’m not going to make this about Rashford but think about how the narrative around him is different. Why is McTominay not a “wonderkid” or a “world class talent”?
McTominay has been a regular in the centre of our midfield from, what, 21? Yet I’ve never really heard any pundit suggest the lad might have any talent!
Massively under-appreciated in my book. Could be United’s Jordan Henderson, and I say that as a clear compliment!
