kumnio Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 BBC reporting it as well now. What kind of midfielder is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Chris Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 6 minutes ago, kumnio said: BBC reporting it as well now. What kind of midfielder is he? Box to box in the Fletcher mould although his early appearences for Man. United have been in games where he's been required to sit deeper. (away to Sevilla and home to Chelsea). Him and Armstrong should be the middle two and then you select three attacking players ahead of them. There is a decent crop of young players either established now or coming through so I'm optimistic for the next campaign IF they are used correctly and the old guard isn't relied upon e.g. first half of the world cup campaign.

I was born in Doncaster, moved back to Scotland when I was one month old and lived in Scotland ever since. In what universe does that make me English? Still it's given my older brother 40 odd years of calling me an English tosser so not all bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 On BBC and Stv that's he's opted for us. BBC said that Southgate travelled to meet him, but McTominay didn't speak to him, good lad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McExpat Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 This news is a bit of a result I suppose! I Wasn’t expecting it after he turned down an earlier call up and had Southgate coming to see him. McTominay, 21, met Scotland boss Alex McLeish at United's Carrington training ground on Thursday. England boss Gareth Southgate was due to visit United on Friday but it is understood McTominay did not meet him. Does this indicate McLeish done such a good job of convincing him that he didn’t even hear Southgate out!? Seems hard to believe he didn’t even meet Southgate if he was there and wanting to see him. Lets hope he serves us well for many a year to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo2576 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Can’t ask for more than that really. Opted to play for us and rejects option to speak to England. Welcome onboard Scott. However I don’t think he should be walking into our team just yet. I wonder how must McGinn feel? He’s been seemingly getting primed to step into browns shoes but looks like this lad will just shove him out the way. Fair enough if he’s a better player but he’s not proven that yet.

It's what happened to fletcher and he was never that sort of player. Way to many average games for Scotland I thought and took the crowd ages to understand what type of player he was. You can tell already what style of player mctominay is going to be and it's no going to be a match winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo2576 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Without trying to pour cold water over this either you’ve got to wonder if he will be a first team /squad member in the long term. You can’t help he’s been a pawn in the Pogba saga to some extent. But probably more importantly, I can’t see mourinho getting away with united playing they way they are for another season, they are brutal, you have to wonder if he’ll find space for McTominay with Matic, Pogba, Herrera already there.

How does McGinn feel? Grow a pair son-this is serious sport feelings don’t come into it-you pick the best team and the best players available playing at the highest level possible. The last time I checked John McGinn doesn’t play for a famous top 4 premier league team and hasn’t played well in the champions league either. He plays in a rubbish league for a rubbish team.
