Swindon Town boss Ian Holloway has sent a blunt public warning to Manchester United loanee James Scanlon as his time with the side hits a rough patch. Scanlon sealed a deadline-day loan switch to Swindon during the January transfer window. The move marked Scanlon’s first loan spell and his first experience of senior club football, despite his regular appearances for Gibraltar. Though only 19, he has amassed 20 caps for his country, scoring two goals in that period. Scanlon got off to a dream start to life at Swindon, scoring a superb goal in his first start. However, things have taken a worrying turn in recent weeks. He has been left out of the club’s last three matchday squads and has only played in one of the last five games. Since joining Swindon, Scanlon has made just four appearances, totalling a meagre 192 minutes of action. His lack of game time is particularly alarming for United, who have grown increasingly concerned by young loanees struggling for minutes, a situation that often hinders their development. Holloway spoke to the media and explained why he has been overlooking Scanlon. The 63-year-old coach said when asked about dropping Scanlon, “We haven’t won, and we need to win. We need to get the results, and we need to get the performances. If we don’t, then we will make changes.”
