Nobody said we don't need CMs who are comfortable on the ball and generally much much better outfield players. That's nothing to do with McT, he was never good enough to be a regular CM feature for a team like Manchester United, he only had a certain skill set that was useful for a team lacking goal output and general quality all over the field. We struggle for years because we waste 60m pounds on crap player like Mount or washed up past greats like Casemiro, without an ounce of planning and vision. We will probably do the same with Ugarte, trying to partner him with Bruno who is borderline good enough CAM and never a CM. And to fans like you, you will grab on someone like McT and point out how we struggle because of a squad player, while overlooking much bigger issues.
And you probably watch football on whoscored rating website? I bet you think Bruno is the best CAM in the league don't you sunshine?
Nah, I watch actual games, which is how I know that Scott McTominay can't help you control a game, receive the ball in deep positions, take the ball on the half turn, turn away from pressure in tight spaces, see a pass beyond the obvious, create chances or generally do anything else you'd actually want a central midfielder to do with the ball.
Well yeah because he's not a central midfielder. We've been over this already
It's not about what I want. You pointed out to his passing stats and why nobody should miss him, and how Mount was better. I think that's very laughable take, that's all.
He can't do any of the things you want from a 10 or second striker either unless you're Sean Dyche or the upmarket version, Conte.
And here is the actual problem with some of you. We have players like Ugarte and Bruno all season playing in central midfield, Casemiro and Mainoo today, and we still control feck all of the game. You still think McT was going to make or break our control of games when he was here? Not sure who was watching games with their eyes closed buddy. You also call out on stats, when you have the best stats merchant in the league in Bruno, and he is a constant in all of our midfields while we lack control. The problem? It must have been McT?
Bizarre take when considering Conte is one of the most successful managers of this era
Or unless you're Amorim, where Harry Maguire looks the most dangerous forward in the team
And here we go again, firstly we weren't even talking about a 10 at United, you originally posted about his passing stats. In my opinion his best role was b2b for us, since he was sometimes very good ball carrier but otherwise technically limited. I know what I prefer from a United midfield, you picked one thing and choose to use it as a beating stick. Scotty had his uses if you had low expectations from him, which I did to be hones.
We really didn't control the game until we made our subs.And here is the actual problem with some of you.

I imagine mctominay.
McTominay was miss profiled by United. Playing as a 6 or a deep 8 instead of 8/10 goalscoring midfielder before last season.
Rice is better let's not be silly. He's a very good player though and not the reason we were doing badly. Although people on here blamed him and Fred (Another one underrated by our fans).
Surely, Orsolini scored Napoli's most important goal
He's not better than Declan Rice.
