Scott McTominay, 26, may find himself down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag.

But he has firmly established himself as one of the first names on the team-sheet for Scotland.

And the midfielder is now the second-joint top goalscorer in the Euro qualifiers.

McTominay was on target in last night’s 2-0 win over Georgia at Hampden Park.

The strike has taken his tally for the campaign to five, putting him level with England captain Kane and Portugal legend Ronaldo.

Indeed, it’s more than he’s ever managed in a single Premier League season for United.

And some supporters reckon McTominay should have been stuck up front last season instead of loanee Wout Weghorst, who failed to net once in the league during a loan from Burnley.

One declared: “On my mother’s life, better striker than Weghorst.”

Another said: “We should be getting £40m if we sell him.”

One noted: “Him playing most of his career as a DM is such a big mistake.”

Another added: “Might as well have played him at striker instead of getting No 27 (Weghorst).”

McTominay’s future at United remains unclear as Ten Hag chases a new midfield signing.

Chelsea’s Mason Mount is the preferred target.

And his arrival could see McTominay pushed towards the exit.
