Man Utd midfielder McTominay: What Ten Hag is demanding personally from me

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits manager Erik ten Hag is demanding more goals from him.

The Scotland international has revealed Ten Hag has spoken to him personally about his goalscoring.

He told a fans Q&A: "I should score more goals. The manager has actually spoken to me about that and shown me little clips and little ways I can be more effective in the game: making assists, scoring goals. If you do certain little details, then you can get yourself in those positions more often.

"I know that I can do it. I've always liked to fancy myself that I can score goals and stuff like that, so it's important I keep practising and whenever the manager speaks to you, you've obviously got to listen and take it all on board.

"It's really good information that he's giving you. He's like that with a lot of players, where he'll sit them down and speak through clips of games – doing this, how you can influence this. Loads of fine little details that can help players and obviously give them confidence, putting his time into us, personally and not just in a group scenario."
