Whatever, all I see are a bunch of forward players who often aren't committed, in the wrong positions and can't finish. The numbers don't lie. McT has shown himself to have an eye for goal - albeit in a pretty small sample -, a surprisingly good technique - his takedown and finish for the equalizer vs Brentford was top drawer -, and a real willingness to get in the box - something we've been shit at for ages.

I wouldn't mind giving him a crack to see what he can do, especially since he's one of ours.

We looked more cohesive as a team with Weghorst because our only other centre forward had DOMS after training, Casemiro still had 20% battery left and Rashford was flying. Casemiro is now a big dog with arthritis and Eriksen seems to have aged two decades in the span of one year.

I’m (tentatively) happy to have The Scottish Player as a squad player, and if brought on yeah I’d probably go for having him in an attacking role. But starting him is probably going to disrupt the team further, and they’re already in turmoil. I’d rather try and let players like Amrabat, Mount and Bruno gel first.

Nah. He’s been working with some of the best coaches in the world for United and we know how well they’ve coached for the past 20 years.

I had a fellani post read to go at almost the exact same time. Thought better of it but I get what you mean.

Hopefully being denied such a wonder goal so unjustly will motivate him

Still

We have much bigger problems than him.

He did alright against Brentford or have you forgot?

he's shit in a shit system

He’s fine if you don’t ask him to play in midfield.

Our leading goalscorer in the Premier League this season. We clearly have bigger issues.

he picked him because hes desperate for players showing any kind of form going into a massive game.

The Scottish Player was in goal form, that's why he got picked.
