Manchester United have had a poor start to the season in the Premier League after horrid losses against Crystal Palace and Tottenham. But since then, the Red Devils have changed their fortunes, and most of it goes to the change in midfield setup and personnel. McTominay has been great for United lately, as he talks about Manchester United’s competition in the midfield, with United Review.
Since the Tottenham loss, Fred and McTominay and started almost every game since then as United haven’t lost since. Both the midfielders provide solidity in the midfield and shield the centre-backs giving United a great defensive shape. McTominay has been great in the midfield, as the Scot has covered almost every blade of grass keeping the opposition out from scoring goals against the Red Devils.
In his recent interview, McTominay said: “I feel like obviously Fred is a terrific player but we’ve got Nemanja (Matic), we’ve got Paul (Pogba). There are endless options in midfield really. We can play Bruno in midfield. Donny is a great lad and a brilliant football player. I’m sure, the way he is working in training and how hard he’s working.”
Manchester United and Solskjaer has a lot of option in his squad when it comes to midfielders. This allows Solskjaer to chop and change systems and personnel according to the opposition, which he has done in the recent past to great effect. McTominay himself has been great for the Red Devils so far and looks to carry on for the rest of the season as well.
