Not so long ago, Scott McTominay was billed as a future Manchester United captain.
Former manager Ralf Rangnick - who briefly took charge at Old Trafford after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking last season - rated the Scottish international highly. McTominay started 18 of the Austrian’s 23 Premier League fixtures as Red Devils boss, with injury or illness ruling him out of the other five.
“He is an academy boy and his energy is amazing,” Rangnick said after the midfielder scored a match-winning header against Aston Villa last January. “He's now also started scoring goals, and also with some leadership skills. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a couple of years, he would be the captain of this team.”
