This is what I mean when I say we need better than him and Fred in the middle of the park. They have so little quality on the ball which is just not acceptable. for a team like ours.
Was it against Southampton that he looked incredible on the ball? Sadly he just doesn't have it in him to do it consistently

He provides a good shooting threat and runner off the ball, but absolutely kills us along with Fred in these games when we have to play in tight spaces through a press. Neither has enough quality to do so and we lose control of the game.
Scott is going to play a lot of games for us. He however is below average when it comes passing. As a result of that, we will drop points consistently in moments like these. There are some who are under the impression that a Mcfred midfield is sufficient..
Lost possession to often. Bang average today.
Injury aside, this is the normal standard for his performances. I think people have built him up too much off of the back of a few goals.
He is still very weak at passing and is only alright at defending. I don't really understand how anyone can think this guy can be our first-team midfielder. People are saying he can be box-to-box only based on his goals. He has a good shot, but where is his creativity? Where is his passing?
McTominay is nowhere near good enough to form the fulcrum of our attacking play from central midfield. And people want us to buy a DM to sit next to him. Imagine a midfield of Ndidi/Rice and McTominay; I think that would be absolutely horrid.

Out of all possible options bar maybe Bruno, I thought he was the man to make that cross.
Not too fussed. Didn't look fully fit. Maybe he was feeling pressure. Shit pass though.

Thought he was quite disappointing today. That cross at the end was brutal to watch...
He just lacks the top quality that a starting United midfielder should have. Good squad player for a title winning team, not good enough to be first choice.
Thought he did ok personally...
He did. People are just letting that shit ball on the counter attack influence them.
Decent shot that was saved, in an otherwise disappointing 2nd half display. Should have done better with his pass on the late counter-attack, needed to find a United player.
Not convinced he was fully fit.

Was good. Scuffed his pass unfortunately. Hard to pass a ball after a 50 yard sprint.
Overall he wasn't good.
He tried to dribble a lot because he couldn't pass and ran into a lot in blind alleys.
The ball was also nicked off him in midfield multiple times due to his lack of urgency.

Probably better than our current CB's.
Free VdB!
He had had a nice little run of form before his injury, but this match was right back to his poor period he had two months ago. Not only was he poor on the ball but Chelsea far too easily ran around him a couple of times.
His pointing with both hands was top-notch today.
Did ok for me. His passing was fine and I think when he gives it away, people look for it. This issue of shooting is nonsense when people are talking like defensively minded players in the league are scoring goals and great a shooting.....
He was ok, didn’t look fully up to the tempo of the game and that botched cross near the end was frustrating.
Did ok. Him and Fred are just fans scapegoat. Have they done their job their job today. Yep. Did players who have a higher ceiling do theirs.....not really.
Simply not good enough for a team that wants to win titles. Only a squad player at best.
Clearly wasn't fully fit. No mention of him being in contention to play in this and don't even think he trained prior. Unfair to judge, infact deserves more credit for putting himself in the firing line by playing
There was a marked difference between him and Fred today - just grouping them together all the time as if they are one person is unfair IMO.
He’ll be remembered only for his shit counter attack pass towards the end
Well, that is one way to look at it.
Has absolutely everything you want in a midfielder except the consistency and top quality of passing. Unfortunately that is the most important aspect of a midfielder at a top club.
Nothing more than a prediction, but I think that Hannibal will take his position long term.
One of his worst games, unfortunately. Maybe rushed back too early. It's really not like him to lose the ball so much and lose 50/50's.
His passing is dreadful for a central midfield. For a stating central midfielder at Manchester United, it's unacceptable. With Mctominay barring the burst of quality in attack every once in awhile, he always comes across as a CB who has been converted into a CM and is making the best fist he can of it. So many awkward dribbles/touches, often such a fright in tight situations and then the passing... just awful.
With Mctominay and Fred in midfield we might be solid but we'll never come close to reaching our lofty ambitions as a football club. It's a mid table midfield.

I mean how do you feck up a simple cross like that?
He just doesn't have that much talent or ability to work with. As bad as Fred can be, there's a remarkable gulf in quality between him and McTominay.
Any gif or video of his fecked up cross at the end please?
Is he fully fit? Wasn't his usual self.
Kept getting tackled on the ball when he's usually quite efficient with it. Didn't have his usual energy and bite and was getting bypassed.
If he's still ill/injured, he shouldn't have played.

I thought he was okay, the pass at the end is putting a bad taste in people's mouth. He's just returned from injury and it didn't seem like he was actually fully fit anyway.
Shades of Samir Khedira? I think he's best suited in a system where he can take chances by ghosting into the box and adding to our offence. Playing him deep as a holding midfielder who's supposed to be neat and tidy shackles his best attribute.
If this is our main midfielder. Then we are in trouble. Midfielder that cabt pass. Only in Manchester united.
He wasn’t great against Chelsea but he was just back from injury, he’s been having a good season though. Some top performances in there and the guy’s a goal threat, has a really good shot on him the exact opposite of Fred. 
He's at best a squad option who's been starting because of how limited him and Fred are.
Top performances is a stretch. Maybe that one game against Leeds. But goals aside, his passing is really shocking for a CM so I'm struggling to see these top midfield performances. Mctominay is a useful player but he reminds me of Fellaini in that he's good at very specific things - like physicality, energy, mentality and this season end product has been good. Bit like Fellaini at his best under Moyes I suppose. But when it comes to the details - passing, close control, vision, holding midfield etc he's very substandard IMO and really needs to work on his game. I don't mind him as a backup option we chuck it to unsettle teams as he is physically a real handful but as a starting CM, Fred and him are a tough watch tbh.He wasn’t great against Chelsea but he was just back from injury, he’s been having a good season though.
