The Manchester United faithful have flooded to social media on Sunday evening, to make their feelings regarding midfield star Scott McTominay crystal clear.
McTominay, of course, was afforded his latest starting berth a short time ago.
With midfield standout Casemiro unavailable for selection owing to suspension, the Scot was surprisingly chosen over Fred to join Christian Eriksen in Man United’s midfield for a trip to Premier League table-toppers Arsenal.
🚨🚨🎙️| Erik ten Hag on starting Scott McTominay: “We have a special role for him and I hope it will work, a little bit like last time.”

Across the 90 minutes, though, McTominay struggled in efforts to prove himself worthy of the faith of boss Erik ten Hag.
Drowned out by Arsenal’s relentless nature both in and out of possession, the 26-year-old found himself reduced to something of a passenger en route to an eventual 3-2 defeat.
And, as alluded to above, the United faithful, in turn, have since gone on to make their feelings regarding McTominay’s place at the club very much known.
I hope that’s the last game I ever see McTominay start for Manchester United.

Hopefully this is McTominay’s last season at United. 26 years of age, he’s not going to get any better and isn’t cut out to play or even rotate in a title winning side.

Scott McTominay is so out of depth at United. Not that it wasn’t clear before, but surely now it shouldn’t be a debate. There’s no room for him if we want to be a top team,even as backup. The drop in quality from Casemiro to Scott is insane. Hes been here for years, 0 improvement
