What did McTominay do wrong today?

He played according to instruction and did what was expected of him. He recycled possession effectively and he was the midfielder appointed to start the pressing and make tackles among the 3 midfielders today.

If you don't understand the mechanics and tactics of football, keep calm and learn. If McTominay was not playing well he won't be in the team. Do you expect him to play like Pogba, making fancy 50m passes and some flicks? If he makes a wrong pass you will be the first guy to crucify him. As a back up he is OKAY.

Nevertheless, with Fellaini and Carrick leaving in the summer there is a need to get 2 solid Tier 1 or 2 midfielders such as Jorginho of Napoli, Savic of Lazio and Seri of OG Nice. I am a little bit sceptical of players from the Serie A though.

Abeg bros free McTominay.
After all this blabbing, you still came to my conclusion that the boy has no future here.
He reminds me of Cleverly in many ways.

McTominay was ok. He helped give some defensive cover on the right side and circulated the ball quite well especially in the 2nd half.
He is not world class but he is still young AND his midfield education was slowed by injuries and by playing in attack in his year with the reserves.

Romelu Lukaku now has the same amount of goals as Alvaro Morata & Alexandre Lacazette in all competitions, combined.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SONofnezzar: 8:51pm On Feb 17, 2018

This is my problem with most football fans!

You cannot have a team of 23 Tier 1 players! There's something called a wage structure and player quotas. Players like McTominay and Lingard will always have a future in a football club.

There is a need to also consider the manager's tactics, from today's game and others that McTominay have played he has been OKAY. No unnecessary risks or mistakes. McTominay is a squad player that is why he is not playing week in week out.

Lmao! Cleverly, dude is synonymous to the average and ordinary.

Mata on VAR: “I did, I celebrated. Apparently the VAR showed it was offside, I don’t know. The important thing is it didn’t matter because we won. It was the first time i met Mr VAR. I’m up for it, it’s needed, but hopefully it will be quicker.”

Lukaku: “It was satisfying for me personally, but for the team too. Everyone was up for it, we did well today. I’ve been scoring for years now, I have to keep going. The main goal is to win trophies.”

I never wrote that the boy did badly today but my point remains that being OK doesn't guarantee a future at UTD.
Cleverly too was ok. For this boy to guarantee himself a future here, he has to improve drastically. There is nothing absolutely exciting about the boy. SIMPLE

Scholes on VAR: “I can’t understand why they haven’t spoken to the Rugby League lads. Now, there’s so much confusion, there’s no participation from the fans, they have no idea what’s going on.”

Last I checked your team is in 4th position, 3 points less than my team, 2 positions less than my team. Is this the important goal you are talking about? Goals that took your team from 1St in the league last season to shuffling between 4th and 5th is now what you are referring to as important goals? WTF is this sheet?!

Which is why many are wondering if Jose sees our matches the way he sees them and is interested in addressing this problem.

Or does he pride himself in having a team that can soak up pressure and sneak results instead of a team that hands out pressure?
I think he sees it but he's afraid cautious about making drastic changes.

I may be wrong though.

But in the end, it is a team effort. Lingard won't keep trying to win the ball in midfield if Young is always backing away and Pogba is jogging around like a camel. For all his pressing game, Sanchez's off-the-ball intensity has reduced and he didn't mark during the last 45 minutes today.

1) It is too early to tell what his fully developed skill set will be

2) As a central midfielder he doesn't really have to be flashy to do his job. His main duties are the press and win the ball, circulate it when in possession, and make smart decisions in terms of taking care of the ball.

3) You can't have only flashy, world class players in a squad. Everyone can't be Pogba or Zidane. As a SQUAD PLAYER and home grown talent McTominay would be given every opportunity in the club and you can't be sure how it will turn out.

My brother! I don't see the complex thing here to understand. My point is that the player I have watched so far this season does not have what it takes to hold down a regular shirt as a UTD player. My humble opinion!

I pray and hope he gets better than this soon enough too.
