Scott McTominay has been criticised for showing too much passion while playing for Manchester United. The Scottish midfielder has become somewhat of an ever-present at Old Trafford this season. McTominay has made 29 appearances for United scoring two goals.
But what has become a concern for ex-United defender Paul Parker is that the 25-year-old has received nine yellow cards in those games. Parker believes that his passion could see him being sent off sooner rather than later.
He told bettingexpert : "You look in the midfield, you got Scott McTominay, you don’t know if he’s gonna get sent off or not because he’s trying too hard to impress all the time, pumping the badge, kissing the badge.

"It’s no guarantee that you’re a good player. It means you’re showing that you want to be committed but might end up getting sent off or injured because you’re trying too hard."
Parker's comments come as United prepare for what is sure to be a passionate game on Sunday. Ralf Rangnick's men travel to the Etihad Stadium for the Manchester derby.
The Reds will be looking for three points to help them in their battle for the top four. City, meanwhile, sit top of the Premier League and need the victory to boost their title aspirations.
