A Tribute To Scott McTominay and United To Play Barnsley In The Caraboa Cup Third Round

 

Scott McTominay and Erik Ten Hag after winning the FA Cup last season



A Great Servant Leaves The Club

McTominay a Scottish international born and raised in Manchester has been at United since he was 5yrs old, spending an incredible 22yrs at the club, McTominay has spent 7yrs in Manchester United's first team, for someone coming from the generation of his more talented teamate Marcus Rashford, Mctominay stayed this long through his mentality and work rate not just surviving 5 managers, three of them permanent but playing an important role in each team.

Scott McTominay and Fred


The McFred era would not be remembered fondly by a lot of  United fans but the fact remains that though hindered by their talents, both players always sweat and bled for the club as former manager Solkjaer once pointed out. But McTominay would most definitely be remembered for his goal scoring ability and memories they bring, scoring 10 goals last season including a 2minute brace against Brentford helping United get a win from the jaws of  defeat, another brace against Chelsea, the winner against Villa at Villa Park and my personal favorite a strike from the centre of the pitch to an empty Manchester City net that famously completed the double over City under the rain at Old Trafford back in 2021, the euphoria caused by that strike is one I carry even now. McTominay departure would make way for an even more important addition in the squad in Manuel Ugarte who could possibly work into the starting eleven, but his 22 years of service to Manchester United would sholly not be forgotten by any United fan and most importantly the Old Trafford faithfull who sang his name last season.

United To Play Barnsley In The Third Round Of The Caraboa Cup

The Caraboa Cup being the first trophy won by Ten Hag after a six year drought without a trophy for the cabinets at Carrington, would bring good memories to United fans barring last season collapse against Newcastle at the same stage of the competition. On 17 of September United will play Barnsley at Old Trafford for a place in the 2nd round of the competition, hopefully we will go all the way as we did two seasons ago.
