Scott McTominay is a versatile midfielder with a knack for goal threat and efficiency, as evidenced by his exceptional season with Manchester United in the 2023-2024 season. While primarily operating as a defensive midfielder, he managed to notably excel in offensive actions, with a significant threat level and efficiency when it comes to goal scoring. This is further reinforced by his high percentile in one versus one defending, showcasing his ability to deter opponent threats effectively.
His aerial duel win percentage and duel win percentage sit around midway, suggesting a solid, albeit not outstanding, performance in these areas. However, his ball recovery and progressive carrying abilities seem to be lacking, hinting at potential weaknesses in these areas. These might limit his effectiveness in robustly maintaining possession and advancing the ball forward.
Additionally, he seems to struggle with pass accuracy, with his percentile quite low. His touch ranking is also lower than average, suggesting that he doesn't dominate possession during matches. Though his assist rate is moderate, it could be much higher considering his evident offensive capabilities and his role as a midfielder.
Despite these areas for improvement, McTominay's unique ability to balance firstly as a defensive pivot and secondly as a goal threat makes him a valuable player. His playing style seems to lean towards being more direct in the attack, capitalizing on opportunities to push forward and maximise goal threats, despite perhaps not being in possession as frequently as other players in his position.
