BIRMINGHAM, England -- Erik ten Hag might just have turned a corner at Manchester United after making it five wins from six with a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa on Sunday, but no matter how many of his big players are now available to him, the guy he didn't want continues to be the one who delivers when the team needs it the most.

No player in Europe's major leagues has scored more winning goals in the final 30 minutes than Scott McTominay this season. The Scotland midfielder, whom Ten Hag was happy to offload to West Ham United last summer, stepped up again at Villa Park after being introduced as a second-half substitute.
