Regardless of what I think of Ten Hag as a coach, he's already shown he doesn't mind letting you back into his team if you work hard

We saw it with AWB, United fans were even calling him amazing at one point

We're seeing it with Maguire, yes it's because of an injury crisis but he's kept his head down and honestly has been playing quite well recently

Even Mctominay somehow seems to be getting played

It's all on Sancho imo

Shocked former captain and 85 mil centerback can have 3 decent games in a row.

everyone can see that sancho is making an ass of himself here

none of us know if it's truly worth it or not, there's always the possibility that ETH crossed a line for sancho and there's no going back - we probably all have our irrational lines - but we can all see that he has a clear opportunity at united and it's there for the taking

i grew up with SAF dominating the PL and i love an underdog, i dont want united to succeed anymore in my lifetime. but watching a young, talented england international throw his reputation and a full year of his prime away is just a bit sad all things considered

hopefully he turns it around with a change of scenery, some players just aren't cut out for the intense scrutiny of being at a historically great PL club

McTominay is generally good player, but is often misused, and can't find a place in team playing tenhagball. But I've never seen him bitch about not being picked. He's always keeping his head down and do what he's paid for. Sancho is behaving like a diva, but you can't be a diva when you don't even play in starting 11. You are rotation player, accept it or begone.

A £73m rotation player. United transfer strategy W

United were struggling to score and McTominay is a goal machine for the national team. Right now for United his positives outweigh his negatives.

The new Fellaini

Agree with what you say for the most part but it's not "somehow" for McTominay - the guy does have good physical attributes and is a fighter who works hard, and honestly I'll take that every day of the week over lazy world-class haircut merchants who inject more shit into their arse than Kanye's ex-wife

Of course we call him amazing, he is Spider-Wan.

Mctominay would suit Spurs/Liverpool in their 433

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Mctominay isn't getting in the team as a CM or AM with Macca, Szobo, Jones, Gravenberch, and Elliot all ahead of him

Spurs are probably the same

Bang on. He's a disciplinarian and while he's strict with his standards if you show contrition and work hard, he's happy to bring you back.

You cited Maguire, AWB and McTominay - All seem to be playing better now under Ten Hag after time out as other players were performing better. I'll also toss in when he did the same thing with Garnacho (criticised him as not training to the required standard which is why he was dropped) and Rashford (dropped him to the bench for a game last season for oversleeping and arriving late at a team meeting, Rashford accepted it and when the Boss sent him on he tore the game up).

You've also got what happened with Ronaldo, he gave him every opportunity and it got tossed in his face, so they cut him loose. Arguably one of the top 2-3 players on the planet for the last 15 years, and the boss told him to not let the door hit him in the arse on his way out. It's back to the days of "noone is bigger than the club" and Sancho right now is suffering the consequences of his own actions.

Hell, if he was like Eden Hazard where he trained like shit but was golden during matches, he'd probably get away with it. But he doesn't.
