Scotland star Scott McTominay has been named Manchester United’s player of the month following a sensational September.
McTominay, 22, scored his third goal for the Red Devils on Monday night as his screamer from 20 yards secured a 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
The combative midfielder was also named man of the match in a 1-0 win over Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City and was one of the few players to receive pass marks in a dismal 2-0 defeat at West Ham.
Scott McTominay: ‘Just don’t ask if I regret choosing Scotland’
Announcing the award, the United website read: “The homegrown product is maturing nicely and is capable of driving forward with the ball. His range of passing is getting more and more expansive too and he is a goal threat.”
McTominay is suspended for Scotland’s trip to face Russia on October 10 but will be hoping to add to his 11 caps when Steve Clarke’s men host San Marino four days later.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
