Newcastle United defeated Manchester United 1-0, although to be honest, we could have expected more.

The Geordies were just superior over Erik ten Hag’s team. Manchester United was the exact opposite of Eddie Howe’s Magpies, who were passionate, full of energy, and played some great football.Bruno Fernandes failed to leave his imprint on the game, Anthony Martial ghosted again, and Marcus Rashford was subpar once more. Fans of the Red Devils found it difficult to watch.

Scott McTominay was maybe the most absentee player on the field despite some startling performances. This is seen in the utterly absurd statistic.

Scott McTominay vs Newcastle United

Yesterday, McTominay was hardly seen in any of the action. It was obvious in both the assault and defense that the Scotsman was not interested in getting involved.

With extra time added in both halves, he was one of the United players that was judged worthy of playing the entire match, which amounted to an incredible 100 minutes.

In the 100-minute game, the 26-year-old only managed 30 touches, according to FOTMOB. This comes up to slightly more than one touch per every three minutes. Regretfully, this is not the only instance of this kind of thing happening this season.
