Scott McTominay’s goals have resulted in 12 additional Premier League points for Manchester United this season. Watch all the goals here.
He may not be the most popular man at Old Trafford, but Scott McTominay has become a clutch player for the Red Devils this season.
His 86th-minute winner against Aston Villa on Sunday was the latest in a long line of crucial goals from the Scottish midfielder this campaign.
As a result, the academy graduate’s goals have secured 12 additional Premier League points for Erik ten Hag’s side this season, without which they would be languishing in 12th place in the table.
This puts him ahead of the likes of Tottenahm’s Son Heung-min (12 goals, 10 points), Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (16 goals, 8 points) and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (14 goals, 8 points).

Brentford – October
With Manchester United struggling for form in the early stages of the season, Erik ten Hag saw his side 1-0 down at home to Brentford with the game drawing to an underwhelming close.
Or so we thought…
With minutes to play, Scott McTominay came off the bench to latch onto a loose ball to score a 93rd-minute equaliser for the Red Devils.

Sheffield United – October
Just a fortnight later McTominay was at it again when he scored to give Manchester United the lead against Premier League strugglers Sheffield United.

Chelsea – December
The Scot came up trumps for Erik ten Hag once again in December.
McTominay scored a brace against the Blues, including a 69th-minute winner to give the Red Devils a much-needed 3 points and saw the Scot earn a rare run in the starting 11.

Wolves – February
Then in February, with United once again struggling for form in the Premier League, McTominay came off the bench to score yet another crucial header to give Ten Hag’s side a 3-1 lead at Molineux.
United would then allow Wolves back into the game via a stoppage-time equaliser from Pedro Neto, but the Red Devils would still go on to win the tie thanks to a stunning solo goal from Kobbie Mainoo.

Ten Hag On McTominay
Following McTominay’s latest clutch moment, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was full of praise for the goalscoring midfielder, saying: “You have to credit a player like Scott.
“He is an example for many players these days. There are not many players any more who are ready for every minute they can be on the pitch.
“Today, we have seen another example. He is always ready to come on and make a difference.”
