McTominay: This club never gives up

The Scotland intenational was the catalyst for a remarkable comeback against Brentford on Saturday afternoon, as his late brace saw us snatch all three points at the death. 

“We were watching thinking this is a tough game - it’s not easy against any team in the Premier League now, especially teams so well organised,” he told MUTV. 

“But you have to bide your time and pick your moments, and that’s what this club is about - never giving up.”

With the pressure mounting on the Reds after two successive defeats in the run-up to this game, our no.39 is aware of the expectations that come with playing for United. 

“We’re in our own bubble and at this football club you have to be in your own bubble because the pressure to play well and score goals is immense,” he added. 

“People demand results and for us, at the minute, we just need to block it all out.

“We have to know that we can do better and not be naive and think we’re doing great when we’re not. 

“I feel like now is the time [to push on], things like this can be the catalyst to push forward.” 

Scott’s brace is all the more special for an Academy graduate and boyhood fan who just wants to see the club do well.

“I can’t put into words the feeling that I had when the second one went in, it was like an out-of-body experience,” he said.

“I was watching the David Beckham documentary last night and you can see all the history and the people behind the club and that’s who the lads do it for and that’s what means the most.

“It’s so important that we all come together and that’s what it means at this football club - we do it for the people. 

“That’s the same as me, I’m a fan so I want us to do well.”
