Scott McTominay was our Man of the Match in the 1-0 win over Leicester City at Old Trafford, after coming out on top in the poll.
The hard-working Academy graduate was a tireless performer as the Reds dug deep to see off the challenge presented by Brendan Rodgers’s side.

commented Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at his post-match press conference. “I thought, today, he was excellent. He lost the ball a couple of times, which you expect because he’s still learning his new role of sitting midfield. But he goes into tackles, challenges, and fights.
