Manchester United development chief Nicky Butt believes Scott McTominay is now the first name on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team sheet.
Butt also had a special word for Brandon Williams.
He told the Manchester Evening News, “Those two lads have done amazing.
"Scott is probably the first name on the teamsheet at the minute and Brandon has done really well.
"It's a mixture that makes Man United players. It's not just always about raw talent, there's a lot more than that.
"There's been many players who have come through the gates at the training ground and been better than most people, but haven't made it. It takes more than that to make it through to the first team.
"Talent gets you through the gates, but determination, grit and drive keeps you here for many many years.
"That's what we've got to do with our academy players, because without the will and the drive to do well, you're not going to make it here."
