Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says Scott McTominay deserves a Scotland call.

Eligible for England and Scotland, the United boss said he would be straight on the phone to the Lancastrian midfielder if he was Alex McLeish.

"We had some players that missed but we had some players that played so, so well," Mourinho told MUTV after Saturday's 2-0 win at Huddersfield in the FA Cup fifth round.

"Honestly, I think Scott deserves more than what he is getting.

"I think maybe it's because he's this kind of kid profile: a normal haircut, no tattoos, no big cars, no big watches, humble kid, arrive in the club when he was nine or 10.

"Last season he was almost leaving the club to go somewhere, who knows where, who knows in which division he would be playing now.

"He has now played already, I don't know, seven or eight 90 minutes - he's not played five or 10 minutes - in every competition: Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Capital One Cup.

"I think the kid deserves a little bit more [recognition].

"And because it looks like England is missing him, if I was Alex McLeish the first thing I would do would be to [makes phone gesture] come to me."
