6 goals in 5 matches Out-of-favour United star is giving Hojlund competition at international level
6 goals in 5 matches Out-of-favour United star is giving Hojlund competition at international level
Scott McTominay scores again as Scotland down Cyprus 3-0 in UEFA Euro Qualifying 2024
He just can’t stop scoring.
Scott McTominay looks like a man reborn every time he puts on the Scotland jersey and that was on display again against Cyprus.
The Manchester United midfielder scored with a poacher’s finish against Cyprus to lead his team to a 3-0 victory in the UEFA Euro Qualifying 2024 fixture. This was his sixth goal in five games, a remarkable return from midfield.
With this goal, he is now the joint-top scorer in qualifying fixtures, alongside former United man Romelu Lukaku and current United prodigy, Rasmus Hojlund.
Scotland have won all five games, leading the Group A standings over the likes of Spain and Norway, mainly due to McTominay’s world-class scoring exploits.
It has been a different scenario for the midfielder at club level, however.
He has been ignored to such an extent that Gary Neville recently opined that Erik ten Hag was subtly forcing him out of the club.
The midfielder was the subject of a bid from West Ham United in the summer but it didn’t meet United’s demands and the move was swiftly quashed.
However, Ten Hag has barely looked towards the Scotsman in United’s fixtures so far.
McTominay has played just seven minutes of Premier League football in United’s four games so far. That is despite injuries to Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo.
Their return will push the player further down the pecking order, leaving his Scotland exploits as a break from his underwhelming time at the club.
At the international level, he is mainly used as a box-crashing central midfielder which makes the best use of his anticipation and finishing skills.
Shoehorned as a specialist defensive midfielder at club level, he looks cowered by the responsibilities of being an orchestrator, leaving his best skills to rust.
If he keeps up his world-class displays for Scotland, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see another club throw the bag at United to secure his services.
Perhaps that would be the best-case scenario for everyone involved.

Cole Palmer scored in the 100th and 101st minute as Chelsea secured an epic and extraordinary 4-3 win against Manchester United.
Man Utd were leading in this game at 99 minutes and 17 seconds – the latest a side has ever led in a Premier League match they have gone on to lose. It is also the second time in less than a week that Man Utd have lost a lead in added time.
Erik ten Hag’s side now have just three days in which to pick themselves up from the shattering defeat before facing fierce rivals Liverpool on Super Sunday.
Video: Moment of magic from Martin Odegaard leads to Arsenal opener
Arsenal have opened the scoring in their huge Champions League match with FC Porto as the Gunners level the tie at 1-1.
Mikel Arteta’s team needed to score first having been 1-0 down from the first leg and a second would have made life very difficult for the North London club to progress.
That came just before halftime when some beautiful footwork from Martin Odegaard led to the Norweigan playing in Leandro Trossard.
The Belgian star remained composed and finished clinically as Arsenal will now turn up the heat in search of a second.

Manchester City have a taken the lead at Anfield from a brilliantly rehearsed corner.
Kevin de Bruyne whips in a low cross from the corner towards the front post, where Nathan Ake cleverly blocked Alexis Mac Allister to allow Stones to sneak into the six-yard box and slot it past Kelleher.
This early strike from the champions deals a significant blow to Liverpool, who will now have to come back from behind to grab anything from this match.
