Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool - 5 Talking Points

#3 Scott McTominay keeps on growing

McTominay gave Liverpool no joy at all

For a young kid in his first season with the United first team, Scott McTominay has not once left any room to question Jose Mourinho's faith in him.

As in United's last home game against Chelsea, McTominay once again was splendid in midfield, doing all the dirty work effectively, if unspectacularly.

That was really the mantra for Mourinho's team in this game - efficiency.

McTominay's role in this side is very clear. He provides them with energy, and he does the dirty work for the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata to do what they do going forward.

McTominay's growth bodes well for Mourinho and could not have come at a better time for them.
