McGinn would be happy if Aston Villa signed Man Utd midfielder McTominay

John McGinn wants to see Aston Villa sign Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

The pair form Scotland's midfield.

"That could be a number of people by the way," McGinn told the Big Interview. “Most like to sign? I hope nobody at Villa will be offended by this. I'll go with big McTominay, I'm not choosing between Tierney and Robertson because that will be a debate.

“The nice thing about the big man is that not only is he a star for Man U, he's a brilliant guy and extremely humble, and the nice thing is that even though Scotland have a history of playing players with an English accent, whereas big Scott sees himself as Scottish, there wasn't any doubt.

“He didn't really play right away, but he didn't complain, not one bit, he wasn't like 'I'm McTominay I play for Man U', and now we're seeing rewards of not only how versatile he is, but he's an incredible athlete and an incredible player, so if we could have him at Villa beside me, that'd be nice."
