Scott McTominay’s Man United journey comes to an end
McTominay has been with Man United since joining the club’s youth set-up in 2002 and has gone on to play 255 games for the Premier League giants, scoring 29 goals and assisting a further eight.
The midfielder became a fan favourite during his time with the Manchester club, not only because he was a homegrown player, but the 27-year-old was someone who gave everything for the club when he stepped onto the pitch.
The Old Trafford faithful will be sad to see McTominay leave this week but with a contract expiring in 2025, it was best for all parties involved to move on during the current transfer window.
