Most of United’s best stuff came from his link up play. The touch/flick near the end which almost led to Rashford being played in was sublime. Not really his fault the service to him in the box was so poor. McTominey played a few shocking passes when he was in a promising position. I know there’s not much point be discussing him with you, as, like with other players, you’ve already made your stance with him and nothing will possibly change it.
You’re missing the point with him. There’s a reason every time he plays in this league the service is crap. It’s because he is dominated by better athletes. They couldn’t get the ball to him tonight because he lacks a yard of pace to make space.

His stats tonight were shockingly bad and I didn’t see anything to suggest otherwise.

I’m not missing any point. Ten Hag knows his game, he knows how to play him, which is as a 9 that drops deep to link play, and has runners beyond him. This happened several times in the game. Unfortunately Antony was abysmal.

Your ‘they couldn’t get it to him’ is daft, none of their crosses beat the first man and McTom managed to misplace a rather simple pass to him inside the box. It’s also worth noting Arsenal’s two cb’s are having outstanding seasons.
