Manchester United legend Roy Keane was full of praise for Scott McTominay after his quick fire double against Leeds United.

McTominay was in fine form at Old Trafford on Sunday, with the midfielder scoring two goals in three minutes for the Red Devils.

United went on to win the game 6-2, and McTominay more than justified his selection ahead of Paul Pogba in the starting lineup.

"He's 24, he's maturing, he's a good shape, he's played a lot of games at the top level. He's played in one or two different roles for the national team," Keane told Sky Sports.

"I even like his haircut, I think his haircut looks sharp. He needs to be thinking, can I pass to a forward more.

"We see a lot of teams who think about possession and tippy-tappy football, but for a midfielder, if the space is in front of you, just run.

"It was the perfect game for him. He kept it simple and the kid's maturing really well.

"He'll need to improve more on his stats and goals, but his role in the team has generally been to protect a back four that is dodgy."
