Man Utd boss Ten Hag: I'm proud of McTominay Scotland success

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag was "proud" of his international players performing well in the past week.

Scott McTominay scored four goals in two games for Scotland, while Marcel Sabitzer struck for Austria.

Ten Hag said, "I am proud of it because it also tells something about Manchester United and the process we are in.

"That our players are in action and in form, and during the whole season you see [that] and you feel them progressing across the whole season. So they show it also for their nations and it's good to see that most of the nations performed really well."

Of how he used the international break, Ten Hag added: "I had a breather and turned off from football. A couple of days to think about other things, about family of course, and getting away from football to do some relaxation. But also, to analyse the games we played [over] the past three months where we had to face [many sides] - analyse how we have performed. Analyse [our] development and I think it was good.

"During games you don't have the time for that. I think we had a good analysis, good evaluation, we set the right conclusions and from here on we have to move on."
