Manchester United hero Wes Brown is delighted to see Scott McTominay at his best.

The midfielder has been in terrific form with the Red Devils this season, especially on the goalscoring front.

McTominay, who starred in a 4-3 FA Cup win over Liverpool before the international break, earned praise from Premier League and Champions League winner Brown.

“It's absolutely brilliant," the 44-year-old told the PA news agency.

“I love the fact he plays higher up the pitch now, I think you're seeing a really talented player.

“I used to look at Scott when he first started playing and, just because of his size and athleticism, you'd say he was a defensive midfield player.

“But he's a goalscorer, he's got the timing to get in the box when the balls are coming in and not only that, he puts it in the back of the net.

“He makes the runs defenders don't like, and he's saved United a few times this season. It always helps when you have a good run of games whereas Scott's been in and out quite a bit at United. You can see he's a player the manager really likes this season."
