Not a chance he's sold unless he's shat in ETH's cornflakes. Arguably our best player under Mourinho and integral under Ole. He'll have a big role to play at us. A Twitter thread why he’s not shit: This sums him up pretty well by Frank McAvennie a few months ago: “I love him but he’s not good enough for Man United. He strolls about the midfield." “I’m a great fan of his and he’s one of the boys (Roy) Keane picked on and he was dead right." “McTominay was letting City walk all over them. There was absolutely nothing in that midfield." He used the former United captain as an example: “Keane would have up-ended the guy running with the ball and walked away." “McTominay is a good player but he just seems to stroll in some games." “I would like to see him get stuck in a bit more. He needs to show the fans he’s hurting.” An article why MUFC need to replace him in the summer: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scott-mctominay-stat-manchester-united-23835723.amp Edited June 28, 2022 by SweMag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt Shearer score a grand total of 7 (ish) goals by the age of 22? Makes his overall record, with 2 seasons missing due to injury, even more impressive.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Could work good in our high pressing game? Joelinton from the left of the three, McTominay from the right, Bruno in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think McSauce is good enough to play as a DM as one (or really a two if Bruno was alongside). Decent enough player though. Not Man Utd aspiration level but certainly decent PL. Leeds could do worse as a replacer for Philips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 McT and JLintz would be a canny brutal midfield like. Proper power lifters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 McTominay wouldn't be an awful signing. Especially as we do lack depth in the middle (defensively) now with Hayden gone and Hendrick on his way. As long as the price isn't ridiculous, I'd have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Not seen him play but you’d imagine he’d be similar to an Ekitike in that he may not be ready to start games but will be in and around the first team picture (depending on injuries and form). More or less playing first team for Salzburg, which is a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I like this idea we have of buying the best upcoming 18/19/20yr olds from around Europe. Will reap the rewards of these sort of signings in 2/3yrs time. Especially while our academy gets its act together and we start producing these ourselves.
