Scott McTominay just accidentally sent Manchester United an urgent transfer reminder

An emotional Scott McTominay was the first visiting player to emerge from the dressing room after Arsenal beat Manchester United last month, to end their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. McTominay's interview was refreshingly honest.

McTominay questioned the desire of his teammates and admitted that United just had 'pride' to play for across the last few remaining fixtures of the season. McTominay's heart was in the right place but his comments weren't strictly true. The players were also fighting to provide Erik ten Hag with a shred of evidence that would suggest they're worthy of staying at United beyond the summer.

However, Ten Hag will make that assessment from the picture of the full season and that evidence will show the club's gutless playing squad needs a major overhaul. There can't possibly be enough departures this summer. United's players have failed to save some face over the last few months and that includes McTominay. They haven't even been close to being average.

McTominay isn't a defensive midfielder and fans' patience with the player has grown increasingly thin. The Scot returned from injury to make the bench in the latest Liverpool debacle, but it might have been best if had continued to be sidelined.

McTominay has started in each game since that defeat at Anfield — against Arsenal, Chelsea, Brentford and Brighton — and he's been poor in each of those fixtures. McTominay was woeful against Chelsea and lucky to keep his starting place for the Brentford win.
