Scott McTominay growing as a part of Manchester United's midfield

Manchester United midfielder, Scott Mctominay, has become a crucial part of the team's midfield as the Scottish player has showcased a lot of convincing displays in the past few matches. He showed his worth during the 2-1 Carabao Cup win against Chelsea on October 30. Scott also booked himself a yellow card as he rammed into Mateo Kovacic as his towering presence helped him recover the ball from the Chelsea player. He dominated the midfield, used the breaks to instruct his fellow teammates as United cranked up the pressure on Frank Lampard's Chelsea.

A pillar for Manchester United

Every few minutes he proved to be a brick wall for the Chelsea attack as he smartly positioned himself in the midfield, making it difficult for them to cross the midfield and cause trouble for United's defense. He made the most tackles and interceptions as compared to his teammates in the round of 16 matches. Scott also made the most ball recoveries or contested more one on one duel during the match without risking a second yellow card

His performances justified the reason as to why former manager, Jose Mourinho, regarded him as a very valuable and a skilled player and it is very obvious that Ole thinks of the midfielder in the same way.  Since the start of the 2019-20 season, McTominay has played a total of 887 minutes in the league.
