Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits he dreamed of Scotland call-up

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits he will be fulfilling a childhood dream when he makes his senior Scotland debut.

New national team boss Alex McLeish travelled to United's Carrington HQ earlier this month to hold crunch talks with the 21-year, who was also being courted by England.

McTominay, who was born in Lancaster to a Scottish father, has burst on to the scene at Old Trafford this season, at times keeping £89million French midfielder Paul Pogba out of Jose Mourinho's side.

Despite interest from Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate, McTominay's meeting with McLeish was short and sweet because his international allegiance always lay with Scotland.
