Man Utd boss Mourinho convinced England have missed out on McTominay

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho believes England are set miss out on Scott McTominay to Scotland.

The 21-year-old Manchester United midfielder is wanted by both home nations after a breakthrough season at Old Trafford.

“I have given Scott my advice but I think the advice of his parents is more important than mine," said Mourinho.

“His own heart is more important than my advice, because mine is purely from a career point of view.

“More important than his career is his feeling, his family's feeling and also the overall situation with him.

“He's going to have a very good career independently of his international choice – if he has the choice, because maybe Scotland or England don't want to select him.

“But the most important thing is for him to feel good with himself."
