Watch: Sir Alex talks McTominay mentality & impact 'big-match Man Utd player like Fletcher'

Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson has declared Scott McTominay as one of the club's big match performers.

Considering Scottish football's influence on United, Sir Alex discusses signing McTominay as a junior and likens his progress through the club's youth system to former United and Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher. And he says McTominay's attitude and mentality is just like Fletcher in terms of being able to handle big games and big opponents. Sir Alex also name-checks Brian McClair in this chat with the Scottish FA.

Sir Alex was speaking as the Scottish FA and Glasgow Life join forces to release 50 individual UEFA EURO 2020 Glasgow Club Legacy Packs.

The first club to secure a pack is Sir Alex's former youth side Harmony Row, who will benefit from kit such as balls, bibs and goals to support their club activities and capitalise on surging interest in the national game ahead of this summer's competition.
