McTominay hopes to emulate Man Utd legends Scholes and Carrick

Scott McTominay hopes he can emulate Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick after scoring his first Manchester United goal on Tuesday night.

The Scotland international scored with a sensational long-range striker, but it wasn't enough to stop United losing 2-1 to Wolves.

Speaking after the loss, McTominay said: "It's so important for you to get off and running for your football club.

"You watch players like [Paul] Scholes and [Michael] Carrick and midfield players like that coming through and that's who you want to emulate."
