Man Utd boss Ten Hag happy with McTominay, Maguire impact

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is delighted for Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay.

The British duo were linked with moves away from the club in the summer, with West Ham submitting a bid for the pair.

However, United decided not to sell, while both Maguire and McTominay are now key players for Ten Hag.

On the duo, he stated to reporters: “I think we have a squad and in the squad there is internal comp, if you want a successful season you need more than 11 players.

“Finally, in every season, it will turn and in every season it's what is the best team. They are here, they are great players and played into the team. That's what you expect from every player, there has to be dedication to aim for this."

On McTominay's goalscoring, he added: "Actually from the first moment I saw, he has a very good smell to make it in the box and he is a very good finisher, that is not a surprise when the team, when we bring it and the way we want to play and get the balls to them he will finish."
