He's a big lad. “Is he sharp enough on the ball to be a Man United central midfield player?”McTominay made his debut towards the end of the 2016-17 season, with a first Premier League outing taken in against Arsenal. The current campaign has seen him make his bow in Champions League competition, while also committing his long-term future to United by penning a new deal through to 2021.</blockquote>
