He just doesn't belong in games that are going to be tactical, sloppy struggles like that Arsenal game. It requires a certain level of composure and speed of thought that he doesn't seem to possess, and it gets more and more obvious as the team around him improves and we look to control games more. He is fine when we need someone to bring energy in a match where the opposition is already tired, or in a match where we will being doing most of the defending in our own half.

Why don´t you post a clip of Fred instead, he was even worse. Not to mention Fernandes or Pogba. Why McTominay now has become the new scapegoat really baffles me.

He's not a scapegoat for anything.

Plenty of people here were never a fan of his.

I've never rated him.

I don't think he should be a starter at all. Squad option maybe.
 
Fred is a much better play than McTominay. Play Fred as the box to box and he will do what he is asked to do. McTominay is just a squad player.
 
Istanbul Basaksehir 2:1 Man Utd
Today confirms just how average the guy is; he doesn't do anything but run around. His passing is inadequate; he is not particularly fast; his touch isn't good; his dribbling isn't good.
 
There was no point bringing him on today, showed Ole was just desperate.
 
As about as usesful as a red light in GTA. Don't know how he keeps getting minutes.
 
Scott’s fault again...

I thought he was good when he came on.

He’s the scapegoat at the moment but he’s going to be a huge player for us,

There are three posts in this thread after this performance. Not sure you can say he's being scapegoated here. Other performances are receiving much more heat.
 
Ole's boy, first on! He was ok but there's no future in falling back on players of his level.

Huh? Where did I mention in my post he was being scapegoated just for this evening?

Rubbish.
 
Can't really fault him today. He's not a game changer, so bringing him off the bench in a match we're chasing and need to break down the opposition team is obviously not going to make any difference. Fault lies with the manager for putting him into a situation like that today.

Think he's great but didn't really see the point in bringing him on. (Expected Tuanzebe to be replaced by Pogba and Matic to move to CB.)

Man I was a heart attack away when I saw Matic and Maguire at CB especially since we were caught twice on the break in the first half. Had a mild angina attack when Matic was caught up and overtaken in the second half only for Arry to intercept. Luckily Ole came to his senses after that and switched FM with Matic or we would have been 3-1 down a few minutes later
 
His introduction solidified our midfield. We no longer were susceptible to counter attacks as much as we were in the first half. Did he give us much creativity? No, not really. Bruno, Van de Beek, Mata and Rashford were on to give us that and did feck all!

Did you not see how easy the opposition were cutting through our midfield in the first half?

Granted, McT wasnt going to change the game in attacking sense, he certainly changed it for us defensively.

The last thing Ole would have wanted was to concede more goals. At 2-1, the game was still there for us, thus I can understand why Ole bought him on.

Unfortunately, the players who were on the pitch to create didnt do that tonight.

In fairness, his passing was much better than Matic´s. I think he did alright when he came on and does not deserve to be hang out for dry after this match (either).
 
Everton 1:3 Man Utd
Passing was patchy, one super long pass to Rashford in the first half, gave the ball away twice in a few seconds in the 2nd half, but otherwise made it tough for them in midfield. Good first half from Scott. Lovely cross to the far post to find Martial in space, only for Martial to waste the opening with a poor touch.
 
Fred takes all the plaudits (rightfully so), but I thought he was just as good. Really getting stuck in and put in some vital challenges...

Hit an absolute gem of a pass to Rashy in the first half too.
 
Much improved long passing this season. 1 or 2 very nice long ranged pings. Competed quite well same as Fred in the midfield battle with Alan
 
Much better today. some great passes too which he rarely brings out.
 
Played well today and was one of the first players to really start pushing us on after conceding.

Is at times too conservative but he showed today he's got a decent forward pass in him when he commits to it

No doubt the vast majority of this board will be on here calling him shit again despite the fact we once again looked at far better team with him in it
 
Fred and McTominay might be uninspiring, but it's hard to argue right now that it's not our best midfield.
 
He’ll get absolutely slaughtered on here and elsewhere for giving the ball away twice in 30 seconds, no matter how decent he was for the rest of the game.
 
Looks like I'm on my own but I thought he was poor today. Sloppy in possession, conceding soft, needless fouls, not closing players down quickly enough on the edge of the box. He's fine when he's in the centre of the pitch but the closer he gets to our box the worse he is. I can still see why Solskjaer trusts him though, I'd imagine he and Fred will be our first choice midfield for a long time now.
 
I have to admit I really rate him. I don't think we can get that type of performance from any other midfield options. Him losing a ball is more a matter of too slow decision making rather than bad accuracy or weight of pass. He hesitates half a second too much. But a good game overall.
