The Portuguese’s decisions certainly backfired as United lost 3-1 to West Ham, cementing a terrible week for the club which also saw them draw 1-1 at home to Wolves and exit the Carabao Cup on penalties in a major upset at the hands of Championship side Derby County.

Mourinho is quoted in the MEN piece above as praising McTominay’s performance, but the youngster clearly didn’t impress his team-mates on the pitch with a rocky display.
