The past few weeks have been dominated with speculation surrounding Scott McTominay and a possible move to Newcastle United. The Scottish international midfielder, whose Manchester United career remains unclear, has certainly split opinion after being touted as a potential Eddie Howe signing this summer.
McTominay started from the outset at St James' Park on Sunday as Old Trafford favourite Casemiro remained sidelined through suspension. Sitting alongside Marcel Sabitzer in the middle of the park, the 26-year-old had a chance to prove the doubters wrong on Tyneside.
It wasn't to be, however, with McTominay and the majority of his team-mates struggling to deal with a confident and impressive Newcastle side. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag and club legend Gary Neville both saw their predictions about the player fall flat too.
