Scott McTominay may have scored four goals for Scotland during the international break, including two against Spain, but Erik ten Hag has made it obvious that he will not likely reprise the striker role of his youth in the Manchester United first team.
“It's clear he has scoring capabilities,” the Reds boss admitted this week. “Also this season for us he's a really good finisher. But I see him as a midfielder.”
The fan feeling is still very much against the ‘McFred’ midfield partnership that drew so much criticism last season when McTominay and Fred waned and wailed as a combination. It looked a case of as it was on the opening day of the season when the pair started together in the 2-1 home loss to Brighton.
