Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool: 5 men who impressed for the Red Devils

#2 Scott McTominay

Manchester United v Liverpool FC - Premier League

Even during such a shortage of midfielders at Manchester United this season, the one silver lining has been Scott McTominay. In the Scottish footballer, Ole Gunnars Solskjjaer has discovered a new midfield general who has added much-needed steel in the middle of the park for United. Against Liverpool too, McTominay was in fine form and dominated the midfield for much of the game.

The Scottish midfielder had his hands full with the tried and tested Liverpool midfield combination of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum. However, Scott McTominay dealt with the threat pretty well. He was stellar with his pressing and shielded his back-line with gusto for most of the game.

McTominay burst forward on a couple of occasions in the first half and even tested Alisson with a shot on goal. And it was his quick thinking that helped United unlock Liverpool in the first half. McTominay unleashed Daniel James with a smart pass and the Welshman set up Rashford to score the first goal of the game. Even though United failed to secure all three points, Scott McTominay was impressive once again.
