I hear you but the main difference is the players you mention never really got a proper run in a big team. Mctominay, on the other hand, has.

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. Grow a pair son? Wise up. Like I said if he turns out to be a better player then no argument. Personally I think you should wait for a another season or so before you make a mess of your trousers, son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Don't know what Scot McTominay will turn out like in the long term but if the news is true then its good news. The more players who are eligible and want to play for us the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I hope he is the next big thing but I have been here too many times before to wet myself with excitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Mctominay looks decent but it's hard to tell wether he will make it at united long term. He's not really a match winner and man utd can just go out and buy a midfielder in summer for 70m or thereabouts so it's a hard place to make it as a young player now. He has played reasonably well so far and it's good he's picked us. He could be a good long term replacement for brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 he will be away from man utd in less than 2 seasons, we are getting too excited over a bit part player for man utd who has proved nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Have to love the comments on here, 2 days ago it was all how he was going to turn us down and play for england and all doom and gloom today - still doom and gloom, not played enough games, will be out the united team when they buy a 70m player. Not had a decent run How about we just be glad we got a young player to play for us and there might, just might be a chance he turns out to be decent?

Be pleased he has agreed to play for us but cautious enough to realize he is still unproven and playing for a big club does not equate to us having a superstar on our hands.

For all we know he could be playing for a stoke or West brom in a couple of seasons and be nothing special Maybe but at least he'd still be playing at a good level. Generally the more players in the squad playing at the highest level of English football the better I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho has already trusted him to start some big games in recent weeks. By all accounts that has something to do with the fact Mourinho has had a fall-out with Paul Pogba. Jose is not one for backing down so would sooner play McTominay than seen to be backing down. And so he's played in the Champions League whoopee doo. So have a plethora of other Scots in the last few years but it does not mean they will become superstars for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Chris Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 McTominey-Armstrong Cairney Would like to see this tried in the two friendlies coming up. Armstrong looked the part when Strachan finally gave him a go in the qualifiers, NcTominey will obviously start and Tom Cairney will be a premier league player with or without Fulham next season, he runs the show for them in midfield.

breeks_mctavish Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Great choice Scott, hope you do well. Don't buy the argument he's used as a pawn in a Mourhino spat with Pogba. Man U have a big enough squad not to pitch in a rookie unless they rate him. Even if I'm wrong and he was used to bite back at Pogba, United have had a good run of results with him in the team. Anyway, he's a young player with some potential and he wants to play for us. Let's hope he fulfills it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case he started v Chelsea with Pogba back in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are getting panned from all quarters for how poor they've been in an attacking form. And that has been with McTominay in the side as well.
