Man Utd midfielder McTominay: Solskjaer has made us family

Scott McTominay has echoed the wishes of his teammates who want to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer given a permanent role at Manchester United.

A number of players, including star Paul Pogba, have publicly their wish to see United hire the Norwegian, who has been fulfilling his caretaker role since December.

McTominay says Solskjaer, a former United player, has brought a family-type atmosphere to the club.

He told Sky Sports of Solskjaer, who has handed an interim agreement upon succeeding Mourinho in December: "Every single player that's done interviews about him speaks in high, high volumes about him and that's the same as me.

"Everybody wants to work, everybody wants to do their best. It's about playing with a smile on your face and enjoying your football. I feel like you've seen that in the last 12 to 15 games.

"We've had a couple of bad results recently but even as a group we're all still together and working hard with each other.

"It's a similar sort of correlation to [the] Scotland [national team], everybody's got that family bond and everybody wants to do well for each other."
