Erik Ten Hag and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer Share The Same Sentiment On Scott McTominay
In Manchester United’s recent clash against Brentford, Erik ten Hag expressed his admiration for Scott McTominay, the Scottish player who made a crucial impact on the game.
McTominay, who emerged from the United academy, delivered an exceptional performance by scoring two goals during stoppage time after coming off the bench.
His remarkable contribution earned him the title of man-of-the-match, despite his limited time on the field.During his post-match comments, Erik Ten Hag emphasized McTominay’s strong bond with the club, stating, “He embodies the spirit of Manchester United. He plays with passion and dedication, representing the badge with his entire being. When he enters the game and displays such commitment, it speaks volumes.”
Interestingly, this sentiment aligns with the views expressed by former United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. McTominay enjoyed significant playing time under Solskjaer’s guidance.
Looking back on the decision to keep the midfielder in 2019, when there were talks of a loan move to Derby, Solskjaer shared with The Athletic, “I made a self-interested decision by choosing to retain Scott McTominay instead of sending him on loan to Derby, where he could have played more football. We decided to keep him, and after an impressive performance alongside Fred in the midfield during our victory against PSG, I believe we made the right choice. Scott is a true Manchester United player, devoted to the club through and through.”
