Pundit Michael Owen has heaped praise onto Scott McTominay following the Manchester United star’s last-ditch winner against Aston Villa.
McTominay’s Goalscoring Exploits
Scott McTominay came off the bench for Manchester United on Sunday to score a crucial last-ditch 86th-minute winner against high-flying rivals Aston Villa.
The Scot has scored 7 Premier League goals this season and has developed a bit of nack for notching when the Red Devils are in desperate need of inspiration.
In fact, McTominay’s Premier League goals this season have accumulated a stunning 12 points for the Red Devils, without which they would be languishing in 12th place in the Premier League table.

Michael Owen On Scott McTominay
One man who is certain of McTominay’s contribution to Manchester United this season is former striker Michael Owen.
The former Ballon d’Or winner was renowned for his finishing ability and he has been heaping praise onto Scott McTominay for his surprising scoring form.
“He has got attributes that you can’t really teach. His fitness levels, his size, his strength and the way he marauds forward.
“It’s a fascinating conundrum because he has almost burst into my mind now and I am thinking, ‘Wow, you have to find a place for this type of player.’ I never had him down by this type of player before, this real marauding midfielder.
“With his size and knack of scoring goals, you can only ignore that for so long.
“Okay, he might not get ahead of Bruno or Casemiro, at the moment. But if he keeps on doing what he is doing, then you are going to have to find a role in the team for that type of player, if he keeps improving, then he can be absolutely anything.”
Do you think Scott McTominay should have a more prominent playing role for Manchester United?
