"Scott McTominay? Fabulous," said Erik ten Hag when asked about the midfielder's game-changing brace against Brentford.
"When you come in with the end of the game near and you bring that mindset, that energy and that confidence, he fought for every meter, for every ball, and he was rewarded.
"McTominay pushing for a starting spot? I like this kind of problem."
The Manchester United boss continued raving about McTominay, adding: "He is Man United in his heart. He is playing for the badge and gives his life."
Before McTominay came on, the game looked hopelessly set to end in a 1-0 defeat. The Red Devils looked tired and devoid of any chances of scoring.
However, Scotty came in and made all the difference - but that doesn't gloss over the fact that the team is still not good enough.
All we can hope for is this win gives them the morale booster needed to continue winning games despite the poor start.
