Former Scotland coach Alex McLeish feels Scott McTominay can boost Manchester United by being played further forward.

McLeish says United manager Erik ten Hag should follow Scotland coach Steve Clarke in using McTominay further forward.

He said, "Scott's versatile and I wonder why Man United and Ten Hag didn't take a leaf out of Steve Clarke's book. he's played him in the back three, as a holding midfielder. But as an attacking midfielder, it seems to be more of his niche.

"So you think that Ten hag would play him in an attacking role. It's no shame on Ten Hag thinking he knows where his best position would be, but he can learn from other things.

"For me, he should have looked at how Steve Clarke was playing him."
