Midfielder’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain but he has taken his national side to verge of Euro 2024 qualification
If Erik ten Hag’s position on Scott McTominay is as entrenched as it would appear, the midfielder’s starring role for Scotland against Cyprus is unlikely to register at Old Trafford. Still, McTominay’s now continual use of the international platform to prove what value he could have at club level must turn heads.
Scotland’s comprehensive 3-0 success in Larnaca on Friday evening had McTominay at its core. The 26-year-old played with control and poise but would be forgiven pent-up frustration. Ten Hag has used him only in the dying stages of the wins against Wolves and Nottingham Forest in the domestic campaign.
