Scott McTominay held an interview with the media on Friday ahead of the Manchester derby. The Scottish international has been on form with the arrival of Carlo Casemiro.
Manchester United official website qioted McTominay who said:
“Whenever you go away you’ve always got half an eye on coming back and helping the team here so no matter where you’re playing, you always want to give your best”, Scott McTominay told Manchester United.
“That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing over the last six to eight weeks, whenever we started back this season, and we just want to keep it going.”
The former Manchester United Academy graduate focused on the competition for places in the team and stressed on how this has improved the team.
“For us, it was a real tough start” he uttered. “We knew that and now we’ve got real good players and a real good group in terms of everyone together and fighting for each other and that real solidity, knowing we can all rely on each other.
“There have been many games when players have come off the bench. Arsenal was a great example, Liverpool.
“They’ve made a big, big difference and it’s helped the lads who have started the game a lot.”
“For sure, I would say the competition is healthy. It’s important. You need that in terms of pushing each other and stuff like that.
“I don’t think there’s anyone in the team who has got a plain sailing ride to the end of the season when they know they’re going to play all the time or be one of the first names on the team sheet. You have to work for your place.
“That’s the way the manager produces great teams and for us we wanted to buy into that”.
