Man United have struggled so far this season but Erik ten Hag has a chance to go back to the drawing board in the international break.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and things have got pretty desperate for Manchester United this season.
However, a chaotic 3-2 defeat at home to Galatasaray certainly is. Especially when their own mistakes twice threw away the lead and they now sit bottom of the group on zero points. The first of which is McTominay's role in the side. The midfielder has hardly had one since Ten Hag took charge and looked likely to leave in the summer. His age being the main factor why he was kept and Fred was sold.
By no means graceful or elegant, McTominay is a battering ram whose presence and strength make him a concern for defenders and he has a great finish on him as well. Both goals against Brentford were excellent, 'striker's' finishes. Elsewhere in attack, it's time Marcus Rashford was dropped from the side. It's a remarkable thing to write given he bagged 30 goals last season but the forward hasn't reached anywhere near those heights this time around.
