Scott McTominay, a defender for Manchester United, put on a tough display on Wednesday night as the Red Devils narrowly defeated Brentford in the Premier League.

The Scotland international struggled against Newcastle United last weekend, and there have been rumors that Fred might take his position as the number six.

However, boss Erik ten Hag kept the Scot against the Bees, and the 26-year-old showed why he was kept by putting on a strong performance for the full 90 minutes.

While McTominay’s distribution wasn’t always perfect, he displayed strong defensive determination by winning eight ground and air battles and inflicting four fouls on the opposition.

However, his two crucial blocks in the middle of the second half were the primary highlight of his performance.

The midfielder, in our view, was the star of the game for his outstanding performance at the center of the midfield, and he will be looking to repeat the feat against Everton.

After a spirited victory, United climbed back to fourth position in the league standings, three points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in fifth with one game remaining.

As a result, the team is in a good position to finish in the top four, but they must concentrate again quickly because of the match against Everton on Saturday at 12.30 PM BST.

As long as Casemiro remains out of the lineup, McTominay ought to retain his spot in the starting lineup. The fourth and final domestic encounter of the Brazilian’s four-match suspension will be played against the Toffees.
