Man Utd midfielder McTominay slams Georgia players: Cry-baby disgrace!

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was not impressed by his international opponents last night.

McTominay and his Scotland teammates had to battle for a 2-2 draw in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia.

The 26-year-old, who got yet another goal in the game, was not impressed with how Levante midfielder Giorgi Kochorashvili went down holding his face during one incident.

"Obviously they've got some really good footballers, but tonight, the way they were acting on the pitch, I thought was a disgrace in terms of provoking the referee and us as players as well," McTominay told Viaplay.

"It's not the way it should go. We have to keep our heads but it's difficult.

"They should do something about people pretending they're injured when they're not, and stuff like that. It's a difficult one to call but rolling around and crying like babies all afternoon is not football.

“For us we just wanted to get on with the game and do our best to try and win, whereas on the other side they were provoking the referee a lot."
