Scott McTominay: Manchester United man comes of age in impressive display against Barcelona in the Champions League

While his inclusion in the starting XI may have initially raised eyebrows, McTominay went about justifying Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s faith in him.Despite Manchester United narrowly losing 1-0 in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final, the Scotland international turned in a commanding performance, marshalling the midfield which earned him plenty of praise.

Scott McTominay outperformed Barcelona stars, Scotland legend tells talkSPORT


“He’s added to his name. He was very, very good. He was positive, he was reliable, he was aggressive. He’s proven to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he can be trusted, which is vital for a young player,” said former United defender Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport.Some may consider this an overstatement from Ferdinand, but in only his second European outing of the season, the stats suggest McTominay is worthy of the credit.

“Today he was the one to take the ball down to settle us because we had to slow the game down, we were too quick to give the ball away and after 15 minutes I thought we settled and Scott, Fred and Paul (Pogba), the three midfielders, did really well.”If McTominay can replicate his performance at the Nou Camp next week, United have every chance of making another miracle comeback which will require a similar effort to their heroics in the last round against Paris Saint-Germain.
