For Scotland, Scott McTominay is on a scorching goal-scoring spree. Six goals have been scored by the midfielder in Euro qualifying games.
This excellent return is expected. McTominay, who began his career as an attacker, is used by his country manager in a sophisticated capacity.
He has primarily played for Man United as one half of a double pivot, with more defensive than offensive responsibilities. But everything might change.
On deadline day, Sofyan Amrabat’s signing might have given McTominay the chance to play a more important role.
In order to make room for McTominay, Ten Hag could team the Moroccan with Casemiro while relocating Bruno Fernandes to the right wing.
In games against deep defenses, the Scotsman’s off-ball movement and late entries into the box may be advantageous to United.
McTominay, who has played only seven minutes this season, will be desperate for additional playing time regardless of the circumstances.
