A club can take advantage of the international break to snap a poor run of form or, like in the case of Manchester United, it might stifle momentum after a successful outcome.

Everyone at the club believed at the start of the season that making it to the Champions League was a must, especially following an outstanding season the previous year.Erik-ten-hag-man

United States Premier League Unfortunately, Erik ten Hag’s team’s hopes of finishing in the top four are now severely diminished following their poor 1-1 draw with Brentford.

With a few minutes remaining, Mason Mount’s first goal for the Red Devils appeared to be the victory; however, the visitors’ celebration was cut short as the Bees equalised. However, the celebrations could only begin after the full 90 minutes of play because United’s performance—one player in particular having a terrible evening—deserved of a loss.

23/24, Scott McTominay’s campaign With so many significant moments under his belt, it’s safe to conclude that Scott McTominay is having the best season of his career while wearing a United jersey. This season, the Scottish star has participated in all but two Premier League games, starting 15 of them and occasionally coming on as a great substitute.Scott-McTominay-United Manchester With seven goals this season, McTominay leads the Red Devils in scoring despite starting from midfield and averaging just 61 minutes per game.

This emphasises his value as an attacker. The 27-year-old scored and assisted in the 4-3 FA Cup victory over Liverpool, demonstrating his potential to influence the game in the final third, but he hasn’t been able to consistently deliver that kind of play. In addition, it’s evident from the larger picture that the 39th player pulls the team back, and this was evident against Brentford.Scott-McCoy-Man-U.T.

The way Scott McTominay performed against the Bees It was expected that McTominay would perform at a similar level following the match against Liverpool, offering strength and agility in the middle of the park.

The Manchester Evening News gave the United academy graduate a 2/10 rating for his performance, calling him a “passenger.” His game statistics are shown in the table below, which further suggests that he struggled mightily from the opening whistle to the end.

Interceptions 0 Through Sofascore As you can see, McTominay was not very efficient when the ball was in his hands or when he was on it, which was not very often during the course of the ninety minutes.

Ten Hag’s team had the advantage in possession, but they lacked discipline miserably, which forced Brentford to attempt an absurd 31 times at goal and have an xG of 3.29.united-luton-scott-mctominay-man The Scotland international isn’t the only one to blame for this, but his 23 passes out of 33 at a 70% accuracy rate did give United problems and create opportunities for the Bees to respond.

The midfield player was also essentially unnoticeable off the ball, losing eight of his thirteen duels, making just one tackle, and failing to record an interception. All things considered, this kind of performance has been all too typical this season, and it is obvious that McTominay has to be benched because Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro are currently United’s strongest midfield duo.
