The Man Utd academy product is a valued member of the squad, but perhaps just not a prominent one.
“You should have stayed at a big club” taunted Brentford fans at Christian Eriksen when their side were 1-0 up at Old Trafford, heading towards three points.
His ‘McFred’ partnership during the disastrous 2021/22 season drew fierce criticism and left fans wondering where he fitted in at United. After his double against Brentford, many are waxing lyrical about ‘McSauce’ and perhaps his best role at the club has been identified. Last season, he was not getting ahead of Casemiro, Eriksen and then Marcel Sabitzer and perhaps Fred in the midfield pecking order. His former Brazilian midfield partner may have left for Fenerbahce but McTominay finds himself with yet more competition ahead of him.
His three substitute appearances have come with just minutes left to play. Perhaps that is where he fits in best at United going forward.
