Scott McTominay ‘looked liked Maradona’ for Manchester United as Erik ten Hag hails important role
Manchester United star Scott McTominay is the big man for the big occasion and now their top scorer.
A huge clash with Chelsea, manager Erik ten Hag feeling the pressure — no sweat. Two goals and a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.
Often considered a jack of all trades, McTominay is now the master of vital goals — six in all competitions.
His plundering with Scotland earned him plaudits and a ticket to Euro 2024 where he will no doubt star in the opening game against Germany.
For Manchester United, he's stepping up too — six times in all competitions now — and boy did they need him against the Blues.
'McTominay, he looked like Maradona in midfield today," former Premier League star Jamie O'Hara joked on talkSPORT.
With the Red Devils' forwards faltering in front of goal again, despite 28 shots fired, and Marcus Rashford dropped to the bench, up stepped the flying Scotsman.
On two occasions the 26-year-old steamed in and put the ball in the back of the net.
The first, a left-foot shot, was larruped home after Harry Maguire saw his own blocked.
Not even a Cole Palmer equaliser could derail McTominay and his teammates, clearly better than their opponents in blue.
Scott McTominay does it again!
