Scott McTominay said he understands why Manchester United's midfield has been criticised in recent years as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen in that area of the team this summer.
Ten Hag added Christian Eriksen to his squad this week, and work is ongoing to try and bring Frenkie de Jong to Old Trafford after a fee was agreed with Barcelona.
The new United manager has resorted to a midfield pivot of Fred and McTominay in his opening pre-season matches, with teenagers Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal also given a chance to impress across both matches.
