​Man Utd midfielder McTominay determined to improve

Manchester United starlet Scott McTominay says that he is determined to improve following his League Cup cameo against Burton Albion on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old midfielder was the 64th-minute substitute in the game at Old Trafford. It was the third senior appearance for McTominay, who has also skippered the U-23 side this season.

"You have to think quicker, you have to be quicker on the ball, and you have to move your feet quicker," he told MUTV. "You just have to be switched on so much more than the Under-23s games.

"Eventually, you will just end up adapting to the scenarios within the game, moving your feet quicker, checking your shoulder and everything.

He added: "So it's been great for me to be training in this kind of environment and I can only get better.

"You always want minutes and that's what you work for every day in training.

"Training with the first-team group is a massive step up in standard and it's brilliant for me to be training in this environment because you're only going to get better with these guys coaching and playing with you every day.

"You just adapt to their standard and want to improve yourself as much as you can and be ready to play in games like this in the future."
