‘He has the snout’ – Erik ten Hag gives Scott McTominay strange praise after Man Utd win v Chelsea

After Manchester United’s victory over Chelsea, Erik ten Hag made an unusual comment about Scott McTominay, calling the midfielder a “snout.”

He said McTominay had the “smell” of when to get to the penalty area, alluding to McTominay’s goal-scoring prowess. On Wednesday, the 26-year-old scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Chelsea thanks to a series of pinpoint moves into the penalty area.

With this goal, McTominay has scored five goals in twelve Premier League games this season, making him the club’s leading scorer. United have won eight points in the league this year thanks to his goals alone, and it’s been quite a turnaround for a man that could have left Old Trafford last summer.

In recent times, he has not only been prolific for his club, but he has also excelled for Scotland in Euro 2024 qualification, scoring seven goals in eight games—a total that only Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Romelu Lukaku could equal.

Ten Hag wasted no time praising the player following the Chelsea match, following an outstanding run of goalscoring. When he gets there, he knows just when to do it since he has the abilities necessary. “He has the snout,” announced the United manager.

And then he comes up with a solid finish. However, when it comes to dynamics, there are moments when he is deep and other times when he is lower. However, our strategy, tactics, and game plan frequently involve wanting him to be high.Therefore, it is imperative that the squad ensures he is able to climb, get into situations to go around strikers, and score goals. He comes with a pleasant aroma, as I mentioned before. And his finishing is top-notch as well. The next step is for the squad to guarantee that he carries the ball.
