The Scottish midfielder continued to shine brightly to save the Old Trafford team.
Man Utd entered the match hosting Chelsea with low morale after drawing with Galatasaray in the Champions League and losing comprehensively to Newcastle United in the Premier League.
However, the Red Devils surprised everyone with a spectacular transformation. They attacked hard and deservedly won 2-1.
In that quality performance, Scott McTominay was the hero. He scored a double in each half to bring 3 valuable points to the Red Devils.
Since the beginning of the season, McTominay scored 5 goals, becoming Man Utd’s number one scorer in the Premier League. When given the opportunity to enter the penalty area, McTominay plays like a striker with terrifying finishing ability.
According to Statman Dave, McTominay’s 5 goals brought Man Utd 7 points. Without these goals, the Red Devils fell to 13th place on the Premier League rankings, worse than Chelsea.
During his minutes on the field, McTominay passed with 95% accuracy (21/22 successful passes), had 41 touches of the ball, 5 shots on target, won 2 duels and scored 2 goals.
In the summer of 2023, Man Utd almost sold McTominay to West Ham. For many reasons, this deal did not happen.
At that time, McTominay’s position was low. However, the Scottish midfielder always shows professionalism.
When the opportunity came, McTominay really took it.
Along with Harry Maguire, McTominay turned the situation around to become a pillar of Man Utd.
