Man United midfielder Scott McTominay has been impressing a lot of people with his performances since last season and many believe the academy lad could have his big break this campaign.

Last season, Scott McTominay played in a variety of roles last season under Jose Mourinho and the Portuguese manager was clearly impressed with the youngster.

But the club already have a number of midfielders amongst their ranks and reports suggest they are also trying to bring in someone like Bruno Fernandez or Sean Longstaff.

While this could potentially mean Scott McTominay falling down the pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the Scottish international is willing to stay and fight for his place in the first XI.

“Regardless of what other signings come in or who plays where you have to back yourself to be a Manchester United player,” McTominay said.

“That’s one thing I’ve done over the last two years, I’ve always backed myself.

“I’ve tried to train hard and I’ve always wanted to do extra things to try and give me that one per cent ­difference.

“When it comes to crucial times in big games like ­Barcelona or PSG in the Champions League, it’s important you’re ready for them.

“I’m ready to be a regular starter. That was my goal two years ago and last year, it has always been my goal.

“My main ambition is to be a regular No 6, No 8, a box-to-box player – and it’s important I really go for that now,

“An opportunity is there and you have to take it with both hands.

“Last year I had some decent performances. It’s important I carry on from that.”
