The autumn breeze is blowing and the orange leaves are fluttering. This autumn, a Manchester United midfielder named Scott McTominay was in the spotlight. In the Euro 2024 qualifier list of goalscorers, he topped the table with an unexpected six goals. Along with Danish Reds team-mate Hoylund and Roma's former Manchester United centre-forward Romeo Lukaku, he is a shining star in the top scorers' list. Such a performance is surprising, but perhaps not surprising.
In United's youth team, Scott McTominay has frequently appeared in the centre forward, which may have laid the foundation for his rise to prominence in the national team.
Even in United's first team, he spent most of his time as a defensive midfielder, but his best performances were often in attack, especially in the back row, rather than in his old defensive position. Perhaps it was this all-around quality that earned him the nickname "Mike the Terminator."
However, the national team and Scott McTominay's situation at Manchester United is stark contrast. Although Manchester United have been plagued by goal-scoring prowess this season, they have not put this potential treasure to good use. In United's midfield position, Scott McTominay is near the bottom of the table and there are even rumours that he could be purged in the summer window. Fulham, West Ham and even Bayern Munich have expressed interest, but Manchester United's high price demands have discounted everything.
However, he was not knocked down by these setbacks and instead shined in the national team. In the European Cup qualifier goalscorer list, he surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, Haaland, Kane, Mbappe and other superstars to become the leader of this scorer list. Scotland are more likely to win without a fight and advance to next summer's European Championship final.
Scott McTominay said in an interview: "We have to control the game. We have good players. We are a very united team with great character. McKim is a great player. He unites the whole team and motivates us to keep going. ”
So I think it's simple, we have to be down to earth, win games and not concede goals. ”
This season, he has performed very little at Manchester United, making only two appearances for a total of seven minutes. With Amrabat's arrival, he may have fewer opportunities. However, Scotland manager Steve Clarke is not worried. He revealed he had communicated with Scott McTominay and encouraged him to learn from team-mates Gilmour and Tierney, two players who have faced similar situations at the club.
Coach Clark explained: "I had a conversation or two with Scott about what the season might look like.
Similar to last year's Tierney, it's important that when they don't have many opportunities at the club, they train and work very hard and give it their all when they get a chance to play. Everyone's approach is different. Scott's approach may be different from Kieran and Billy, but we should be happy as long as they continue to give themselves for Scotland. ”
Autumn is a season full of changes. This fall, Scott McTominay used his performance to interpret the spirit of struggle and perseverance. He showed his value and the strength of his team.
