These have been quite the few weeks in the young life of Scott McTominay.
Since starting Manchester United’s FA Cup match at Huddersfield on Feb. 17 — a 2-0 win — the 21-year-old midfielder has man-marked Sevilla’s Ever Banega in a scoreless Champions League encounter, shadowed Chelsea’s Eden Hazard in a 2-1 triumph at Old Trafford and declared internationally for Scotland.
Later this month he’ll be part of Alex McLeish’s squad to face Costa Rica at Hampden Park, and with Scott Brown having retired from international football, he could well slot in for the Celtic veteran as a sort of like-for-like replacement.
