Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has snapped at a reporter over his playing style.

McTominay lost his cool during the interview when asked about he and Fred's passing.

The Scot was asked: "After the Palace game, [Ralf Rangnick] said that if he had one criticism of you and Fred, it would be that there were too many square passes."

Despite vowing to be 'thick-skinned', McTominay snapped in his reply, saying: "He said 'one' not 'too many'."

Clearly taken aback by the aggressive answer, the reporter pushed on, asking: “One from him, one from you, too many as a team.

"On that, is he asking you to be a bit braver on the ball? Is that the message he's trying to get out of you two as a pair?"

McTominay replied: "Well, pretty much every team in the Premier League presses the middle of the pitch with the biggest intensity.

"You look at Liverpool, they close the middle of the pitch because they don't want you to play in the middle."
