Following the 2-1 victory at Old Trafford, McTominay remarked, “We watched the game and thought it was really difficult.” Meeting any Premier League club, let alone one with as much organization as this one is not simple. However, you must wait for the right moment and select the appropriate ones. And Man United has a never-say-die mindset.

Man Utd was counterattacked and let up a goal by Mathias Jensen’s penalty area shot in the 26th minute as a result of Casemiro’s own mistake. That state of affairs persisted until the conclusion of regulation time, at which point McTominay entered as a replacement. glitter. The Scottish midfielder equalized the score at 1-1 in the third minute of injury time by controlling the opponent’s poor clearance and shooting into the near corner.

Harry Maguire, a midfielder, battled in the air after a free kick in the seventh minute of stoppage time, and then passed to McTominay for the header, giving Manchester United a 2-1 victory.

One of McTominay’s best memories from the start of his career is hitting a double in stoppage time. “It’s difficult to describe since I’ve supported Manchester United my entire life—since I was five years old. This team is everything to me. I watched a David Beckham documentary last night, and it seemed to inspire me. At moments like these, Sir Alex Ferguson always glances at his watch. It proves that a goal may always be scored in the final seconds. It’s incredible,” the 26-year-old footballer said.

McTominay said that when he was substituted onto the pitch in the 87th minute, he may not have heard coach Ten Hag fully. “At that time, it was really noisy. I was unable to hear everything because of the nearby yelling fans. Perhaps he told them to go ahead and score.

Coach Ten Hag made a joke when questioned about it at the news conference that followed, saying, “I told him to score two goals.”

 

In 2002, McTominay became a member of the Manchester United youth team. In 2017, he was elevated to the first team and went on to score 21 goals in 215 games in all competitions. The 26-year-old player said, “We have to ignore such things,” in response to a question concerning the pressure of representing Manchester United. “Fans expect us to play well, score goals, and achieve good results.” It’s important for us to realize that we are capable of performing better and to avoid delusions of grandeur about our performance. It’s time to move on, and this victory might serve as Man Utd’s springboard.”

Ever since Steven Bergwijn’s double in the fifth and seventh minutes of injury time during Tottenham’s 3-2 victory over Leicester on January/February 22, McTominay became the first player in Premier League history to score two goals after the ninetieth minute. Only Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 11 goals from March 1999 to April 2000 have a longer home scoring streak than McTominay’s ten goals in his past ten Premier League games for Manchester United at Old Trafford.
