Having made two appearances in Serie A, he has made one start and one replacement appearance. The Italian media gave him high marks for his performance over the weekend.

To tie the record set by former Manchester United and Scotland player Denis Law during his tenure in Torino, McTominay must score ten goals in Serie A.

This was the highest point ever achieved by a Scot in the division until Lewis Ferguson recently passed him, reaching 13.

McTominay will shortly begin to pursue him. Although it doesn’t go toward that total, this Coppa Italia goal shows off his abilities.

In both of the previous week’s games, Manchester United could have used a substitute who could have scored with his very first touch.
