Furious Manchester United fans have blasted Scott McTominay for showing a ‘disgusting’ lack of desire to win the ball back just 10 minutes after coming on in his side’s 4-3 defeat by Bayern Munich on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
With United trailing 3-1 and changes needed, Erik ten Hag decided to sub on McTominay in the 69th minute in the place of Christian Eriksen.<\/p>\n
However, just 10 minutes into his cameo, the Scotland international loses the ball on the edge of Bayern’s area before showing to will or urgency to win the ball back.<\/p>\n
Damning footage of the incident sent United fans into a fury, as they labelled the midfielder’s lack of desire as ‘disgusting’ as he casually jogged back to defend while Bayern burst into life and counter-attacked.<\/p>\n
A United fan account shared the clip of McTominay, pointing out how he had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

They tweeted: ’69th minute – Scott McTominay comes on. 79th minute – Scott McTominay loses the ball and there\u2019s no desire and sprint to win it back Unacceptable!’<\/p>\n
Other United fans agreed with the criticism, labelling McTominay’s efforts as ‘disgraceful’.<\/p>\n
‘Disgraceful and uncharacteristic for Scott \u2014 there\u2019s something badly going wrong behind the scenes,’ another X user wrote.<\/p>\n
One social media user accused the 26-year-old of showing that little effort that he was getting out-paced by the referee.<\/p>\n

United went\u00a02-0 down at the Allianz Arena after Andre Onana’s howler\u00a0gifted Leroy Sane the opener in the 28th minute before\u00a0Serge Gnabry\u00a0doubled the host’s advantage four minutes later.<\/p>\n
They pulled one back through new \u00a372million striker Ramus Hojlund but again wilted after Harry Kane’s controversial penalty restored Bayern’s two-goal lead.<\/p>\n
Casemiro scored two late goals for Ten Hag’s team, either side of Mathys Tel adding a fourth for the hosts in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
The defeat means the struggling Red Devils have now lost four of their first six games in 2023-24, including three in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 4-3 defeat to Bayern means United have now lost four of their first six games this season<\/p>\n
