Erik ten Hag has hinted that Scott McTominay could start Man United's next Premier League clash at Luton Town.
“He is [a super sub], but he can also start,” the Dutchman said of McTominay on Match of the Day 2. “You have to credit a player like Scott.
"He is an for many players these days. There are not many players any more who are ready for every minute they can be on the pitch. Today we have seen another example. He is always ready to come on and make a difference.”
McTominay scored a crucial 86th-minute winner to take all three points against Aston Villa away from home, closing the gap on the fifth-placed side to just five points – and six away from the top four.
No player in the division has scored more goals off-the-bench than McTominay (four), and he is also United’s top ‘scorer in the league with a remarkable seven to his name.
