Scott McTominay determined to build on Man Utd breakthrough

Published on: 12 June 2017

Scott McTominay is determined to build on his Manchester United breakthrough late last season.

The midfielder came on as a substitute during the Premier League clash at Arsenal before making his full Manchester United debut in the final-day win over Crystal Palace.

"That's the thing with this football club," he told manutd.com. "It's built around young players coming through the ranks. Look at Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, they're now regular first-team players and that's what I need to aspire to be.

"I did an interview with you at the start of the season and spoke about Marcus and Jesse. They are still an inspiration to me, the ones I look up to. I want to be over there playing with them, training every day and emulating what they're doing in the first team.

"I had a little taste of first-team football against Palace and obviously that was the highlight of my season. Next season, I want to be in and around the first team and pushing as hard as I possibly can to get into that group and show the manager I can be trusted to play in those games.

"I am more hungry than ever at this moment in time. I've had a little taste and just want more and more. I will keep pushing for it every single day and hopefully can become a regular in the future. I definitely still need to be playing games with the Reserves, that's one thing I've spoken about before as game time is vitally important.

"At this age group, if you're not playing games, it's more or less impossible to improve by just training alone. The one thing you need to be doing is playing those matches and hopefully pushing on."
