​Man Utd midfielder McTominay: What I need to improve on...

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay believes he can improve his game in specific areas.

The Scot has emerged as a key option for the Red Devils in central midfield.

But the 23-year-old believes he should be more of a goal threat, as he only has one in all competitions this season.

He has played 94 games for United and scored eight goals.

"I need to score more. Something in your mind just clicks together and you start to have a real belief," he told the club's website.

"Against Chelsea [in October], I had the first contact and should have done better, whenever you're getting in from a corner.

"The game before, in Paris, I had two opportunities. So it is just that mentality, going into games really believing you can score goals.

"I was just watching Harry [Maguire] and how many first contacts in the box he gets. I was like, well, why can't I do that? I'm the same size as him. It's just a little mindset tweak that can really make the difference."
