McTominay 'always wanted to play for Scotland', with England never an option for Man Utd star

The Red Devils youngster insists playing for the Three Lions was never a realistic possibility, as his heart was set on representing the Tartan Army

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay says he has always wanted to play for Scotland, despite reported interest from England.

McTominay has won a place in United's midfield this season, his form leading to rumours of a battle between Scotland - his dad's birthplace - and England to secure the 21-year-old's allegiance at international level.

But the Lancaster-born starlet put the speculation to bed this month when he accepted a senior call-up from Alex McLeish, insisting it was an easy decision to make.
