A growing number of Manchester United fans are showing their appreciation for Scott McTominay’s efforts under new boss Erik ten Hag.
Many understandably expected him to be chopped when Casemiro came into the club after being branded not up to scratch following an underwhelming few seasons. Instead, it has been Fred who has been moved to the side, something not many expected when he dinked one over Alisson in United’s 4-0 pre-season thrashing of Liverpool.
McTominay has started five of United’s six league games and he can take his benching against Real Sociedad in the Europa League as a compliment given Ten Hag mostly fielded a second team.
