Scott McTominay has opened up on his fitness journey which led to him gaining over 15 kilograms in muscle weight.
In an interview with FourFourTwo, McTominay also revealed advice from Paul Pogba which helped him achieve his goals.
The Manchester United midfielder said: "I think people would have their eyes opened if they knew how hard players work in the gym and the level of intensity that's required to push yourself to hit those goals.
"My body has been transformed over the past seven years. At 17 or 18 I was 70kg, at 6ft 3in. Now I'm 85kg.
"I had to work exceptionally hard to put on muscle.
"I spoke to Paul Pogba about it once: he said: 'When you get to 23, you'll put on the muscle,' but it didn't happen and I remember thinking: 'Where is it then?'"
Despite all of his troubles on the pitch, Pogba had quite an influence on the youngsters at the time - McTominay, being one of them.
The Frenchman ultimately left Old Trafford on a bitter note and his move to Juventus has not spanned as well as he may have hoped for.
