Scott McTominay is excited about his future with Scotland after receiving his trophy for being named the Player of the Year for the men’s national team.
The Manchester United midfielder was given the award at Carrington by Darren Fletcher. He beat competition from John McGinn, Andy Robertson, and Callum McGregor.
This recognition was well-deserved for his exceptional performances and gives him a boost before the big Emirates FA Cup quarter-final match against Liverpool on Sunday.
Fletcher praised him for earning this accolade and expressed his anticipation for the Euro 2024 finals in Germany, where he hopes to support the nation he led as captain.
McTominay had a fantastic year for the national team and played a crucial role in helping Steve Clarke’s team qualify for the upcoming major tournament.
He scored seven goals, including a memorable brace against Spain at Hampden Park.
Despite his goal being controversially disallowed by VAR during the match against Spain, McTominay is proud of his achievements.
Winning the Scotland men’s Player of the Year award is a tremendous honor for him. He is eager to build on the team’s success and make a mark in future competitions.
Reflecting on his standout moments, McTominay mentioned the disallowed goal in Spain as one of his favorites. He hopes to experience more historic nights with the team and prove their ability to compete against top teams like Spain.
He emphasized that Scotland’s success is a collective effort and highlighted the unity among the players and coaching staff. Everyone played a part in reaching a major tournament, and McTominay appreciates the support from his teammates.
Looking ahead, McTominay shared some banter with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, as Portugal and Scotland were drawn in the same UEFA Nations League group.
The friendly exchange between the two players adds to the excitement for future matchups between their national teams.
