Former Ireland international Jonathan Walters has slammed Scott McTominay’s ’embarrassing’ tracking back in Manchester United’s 4-3 Champions League groip stage defeat against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Furious club supporters\u00a0have already blasted the Scotland international\u00a0for showing a ‘disgusting’ lack of desire to win the ball back just 10 minutes after coming on at the Allianz Arena.<\/p>\n
Just 10 minutes into his cameo, McTominay lost the ball on the edge of Bayern’s area before showing to will or urgency to win possession back.<\/p>\n
Footage highlighting the 26-year-old’s lacklustre effort has been criticised by Walters who made the observation that referee\u00a0Glenn Nyberg covered more ground than him.<\/p>\n
Posting on Twitter, Walters said: ‘The referee outpacing McTominay and the FIVE other attacking players in the 79th minute says all you need to know about Man Utd at the moment. Desire = Zero. Embarrassing.’<\/p>\n

McTominay was relegated to the bench after a similarly underwhelming performance in United’s 3-1 defeat against Brighton at the weekend.<\/p>\n
He has struggled for minutes under Ten Hag so far this season as a flurry of summer midfield additions but has starred for the Scotland national team in their European Championship qualifiers.\u00a0<\/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
