I liked Scotty and didn’t want him to leave, Eth wasn’t good enough to bring the best out of him.
I don’t give a shit if you don’t get it, Eth didn’t take Scot to the next level, but that isn’t really that much of a shock not many players have performed to their best under this enigma.I really don't get this? His best season was under ETH was it not? You literally on this thread praised his good season.
Teams like Napoli weren't coming in for McSauce before ETH coached him and moved him further forward. He'd have ended up at a bottom end premier league club.

Hasn't he best performed for Scotland?

Exactly this. ETH identified his best position was higher up the pitch and that’s probably where he is most effective now. ETH deserves the credit for this and anything other than credit is just pure manager hate for the sake of it.Who did he perform better under for us than his performances under ETH? He wouldn't have been on Napoli's radar before last season and guess what they've brought him in to play that 10 role. Not at CB like Scotland did or as a DM like Jose thought.
Maguire and Rashford have been all over the place give me a break, no consistencyDalot
Maguire
Rashford
McTominay
All played their best football at Utd under the current boss.
Could possibly add Fred, Lindelof and AWB.
Add in the 3 academy grads he’s promoted Amad, Garnacho and Mainoo.
He got quite a lot out of what he inherited but did need to move a lot of them on as even their best isn’t going to be good enough.
The current manager has a reputation as a great coach or he did before he came, I’m not seeing it.Who did he perform better under for us than his performances under ETH?

Lindelof? I’m literally laughing my head off
I'm pretty sure it was for Scotland McTom started to play higher up the pitch.
Some got better. some got better then worse, some got worse. Not sure he can be hailed as a player developer myselfMy point was for a lot of players ETH has rejuvenated them and got the best out of them

Ronaldo, Rashford, Sancho, Cas, De Gea, Antony, Bruno, AWB, Fred, Martial, Weggy, Sabitzer probably loads could be argued have had their worst season under him.
I mean last season was the wort for all of them wasn't it?
Even Mainoo is having a down turn.
He's no player developer.
Most of those he has brought in have been crap to start with, so nose diving was not an option.I would say there’s more positive than negatives in term of individuals. Easy to forget the absolute mess he inherited from Ole/Rangnick.
Struggling to think of anyone who’s career nose dived since Ten Hag came in.
Think we’ve reached the point where the bad eggs, time wasters and low ability group in the squad are now gone.
His big issue is not enough of the signings we’ve made as replacements have been consistent.
He’s been a bit all over the place for them in euro 2020 he was playing in a back 3.
They now play him as a centre mid with license to get forward and he banged in the goals that got them to euro 2024.
He’s a very good finisher but it was his general play that wasn’t at a high enough level to be a midfielder in a top side.
Conte’s way of playing which can be very physical will suit him.
But thats not what I said, I said I thought it was Scotland who discovered Scott was better in a more advanced role. And not ETH. All the other positions I didn't mention
