Ralf Rangnick hails 'exemplary' and 'contagious' Scott McTominay after his dominant display in Manchester United's win at Brentford and insists the Scotland star was 'a leader' in midfield

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was hailed as 'exemplary' and 'contagious' by interim boss Ralf Rangnick after his stellar performance in their 3-1 win at Brenford.

United bounced back from a torrid run of form to snatch a much-needed away win at the newly-promoted side, with Anthony Elanga, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford among the goals before Ivan Toney's consolation.

But while United's attacking players stole the headlines - it was the hard working performance of McTominay in the middle of the park that helped the team tick, with the Scot putting in a dogged display to win the ball back and drive United forwards again - and his manager was left raving about him.
