After Scott McTominay’s Saturday comeback against Manchester United to steal victory, Erik ten Hag thinks that every club needs players like him.

After being brought on in the 87th minute, McTominay pulled the Reds even before sealing the victory with a last-second header. The Reds were behind Brentford 1-0 going into injury time.

Scott called the sensation that followed the game a “out of body experience,” and Ten Hag was quick to commend a player who he claims “gives his life” for Manchester United in his news conference after the victory.”In his heart and in everything, he is Manchester United,” the manager said. He is presumably vying for the badge. He offers himself.

“And when you’re coming on and you give this to the team, it tells a lot.”

Scott’s brace was evocative of the kind of performance he has made for Scotland, where he plays a more forward position and has scored six goals to tie fellow Red Rasmus Hojlund for second place in the Euro 2024 qualifying round.

Ten Hag responded favorably when asked whether the 26-year-old had more ahead of him for the Reds.

Of course, yes. He’s here for that reason,” the Dutchman said.

He is a midfield player for us, and as you can see, he has the ability to make a difference in the boxes.

“He played against Burnley and was supposed to play against Crystal Palace, but he became sick and had to leave the squad, allowing others to take his place.

However, he must battle for his position just as everyone else does. Naturally, however, it helps when you make a contribution like you did this afternoon.”
