‘McTominay Gives His Life For United’ – Ten Hag

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag believes every team needs players like Scott McTominay, after the midfielder delivers an amazing victory to United.

VerseNews reports that the Reds entered injury-time a goal down to Brentford and, having been introduced in the 87th minute, McTominay hauled the Reds level before clinching the three points with a last-gasp header.

Scott described the feeling after the match as an “out of body experience,” and in his press conference following the win, Ten Hag was quick to praise a player that he says “gives his life” for Manchester United.

“He is Manchester United in everything and in his heart,” began the boss.

“So he’s playing for the badge. He gives his life.

“And when you’re coming on and you give this to the team, it tells a lot.”

Scott’s brace was reminiscent of the kind of form he has displayed for Scotland, where he occupies a more advanced role and has scored six goals in qualifying for Euro 2024 – joint-second with fellow Red Rasmus Hojlund.

When asked whether the 26-year-old has a future further forward for the Reds, Ten Hag gave a positive response.

“Yes, of course. That’s why he’s here,” said the Dutchman.

“He is one of our our midfield players and yeah, he can make the [difference in the] boxes, you see.

“Against Burnley he played and then he should have played against Crystal Palace, but then he was ill and then he comes out of the team and then others take over.

“But he has, as everyone [does], to fight for his position. But of course, it helps when you when you contribute like this afternoon.”
