The player in question is Scott McTominay.
McTominay is currently on international duty with Scotland, looking to qualify for Euro 2024.
Scotland played out their first qualifier over the weekend and ran out 3-0 winners. John McGinn opened the scoring before McTominay netted a brace.
Following the victory, McTominay uploaded a picture from the game alongside the caption: “Good start.” His Old Trafford colleague Bruno Fernandes sarcastically responded: “striker now?” in reference to the 26-year-old’s brace.
Under Erik ten Hag, McTominay has struggled for minutes. However, his brace against Cyprus may make the United boss sit up and take notice, as past comments from the midfielder would suggest:
“He [Ten Hag] likes to fill the box with players,” McTominay explained. “He wants players in the box ready to score goals. If you don’t have enough players in the box you never are going to score goals, because a striker can’t beat four players by himself.
