Having made his senior debut for the club in May 2017, Scott shares with Jake and Damian the attributes he has developed over the years, including consistency, dedication and discipline. Taking them through his teenage years, Scott reflects on how the unwavering support of his parents helped him navigate the balance of pursuing football while studying and being away from family, as well as the challenges to his physical development which almost halted his football career.
Scott shares some of the best advice he has ever received, including a humbling phone call from José Mourinho and important guidance from current Man United manager, Erik Ten Hag. He also illustrates how influential his relationship with coach Warren Joyce has been in reshaping his career trajectory as well as the learnings he took from United legends Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick.
Scott sheds light on the unique culture at Manchester United, how his hard work has enabled him to establish himself as a regular in the first team, and how his grit means he will fight to stay there.

Comment below your favourite moment from the episode for a chance to WIN a signed Manchester United shirt by Scott McTominay! 👇
It's nice to hear, how mentally Scott had managed to cope going through the ranks at Manchester United, being able to the big players around him and the entrance of going on the pitch at Old Teafford listening to the 75,000, fans applauding the team, the buzz he must of got feeling this moment. Just hope the team can get more consistency now. Come on Scott let's be that leader on the pitch, it definitely needs one.
Definitely the time when he was being brought up and how supportive his family was to him and how important family was. Dominic toretto approves 😂
When he talked about young players coming through and their passion - ultimately Scott came through the academy and whether we think he's our best player or not, you can't blame him for wanting to continue to play for his boyhood club. There's no doubt he cares for the club.
Where Scott talks about self doubt, he’s so humble and seems so down to earth and normal, it’s great he’s so open and honest and very relatable. It’s nice to know people in positions such as Scott also struggle with normal doubts and worries. Massive mctominay fan
He lived all of our dream. Supported Man Utd, got SAF backing from early on, and played for us, clutch performances. I just want this team to win PL or UCL as they deserve it. Him, Bruno, Rashford, Shaw etc. Great guy.
Lots of negative comments about Scott but this guy lives and breathes Man United. He is a great pro with the right attitude and mentality. He might not be as naturally gifted as others but he more than compensates for it by being ultra competitive and a really good team player. Makes me fed up when I read so much negativity by contributors here and so-called football expert you tubers who make destructive comments about McTominay because they’ve got an agenda against him. If we had more in the team with his positivity and can-do attitude, we’d be better off. As I say, not the most gifted but sets the right example. Well done Scott.
People seem to forget the teams Fergie fielded in all sorts of big matches.. names you wouldn't even recall now (not that they didn't have talent) but they were required to show a bit of mettle and fight.
Great comments.
@@TheKamikazenazhe’s this generations Darren Fletcher. Not first choice or world class but comes in and does his job 100%. 🏴 blood
High praise,, but I feel he is teddy or ole, he already is a fellani mould...@@robertdundee2011
I totally agree mate
McTominay, love to hear him talk. Big character on and off the field. He'll be the first one to admit he's no scholes, but he contributes and every great United team had players like him. Pure heart.
Scott talking about self doubt is such a great topic, so many people suffer from this and it is a major topic in everyday life it is great to see someone so high profile acknowledging this
too bad his ability doesn't come close to his attitude.
If Sancho had 1% of his profesionalism he'd be the best player in the world!
Professionalism? This guy is committed but he’s also far too up his own ass to realise how rubbish he is
wow can you imagine.. great comment
Sancho? No chance.
Sancho is 100 x the player McTominay is.
No he wouldn’t. No one else was in for him after his best ever couple of seasons at dortmund. Farmers league.
What an interview. And what a level headed young man player that has come through the ranks. He gets it all. What it means being a United player, determination to succeed and having to prove himself every day. Being polite. He spoke from the heart. His parents should be really proud. Well done Scott.
We love and appreciate you Scott. I'm from South Africa, but I watch every Scotland game all because of you. Don't take the negative to heart, some people are fans and not supporters.
Great comment, couldn't agree more my South African friend.
This is fitting to watch after his winner against aston villa yesterday 😭
These comments hurt to read. Yes, okay you don’t rate him as a player. Whatever. He’s still a professional athlete. Playing at one of the highest levels you possibly can. Clearly he put in lots of time. And has reached a certain level of his career. Which most people only dream of. Goodness.
Yeah but it's about standards and this guys been punching above his weight for years now and 100% wouldn't be there if the Glazers weren't there.
Less than 0.5% of footballers don’t turn pro. 97% of academy players for PL clubs don’t play for the first team of that club. He’s unfortunate that he’s a squad player who’s played first team minutes in a terrible man united side.
Maybe, all along, he was a striker.
Be a professional is not just about training and tactical aspects. Practicing the fundamentals after practice will elevate your game as well. Free kicks, penalties, set piece headers etc.
Analyzing your game play and scouting your opponents to prepare you for what’s coming is essential.
Scott seems like great person and professional. Wish him the best in his career!
Jose is an enigma. The press hate him, but so many players love him. It baffles me at times.
Better than Pep in my view.
@@ZaahirJappiePep ain’t winning no CL with Porto. Doping and unlimited funds give pep the freedom to perfect his tactics whilst still winning.
yes Love Jose the time he smashed coco the clown Pogba in training so funny @@robertdundee2011
Listening to him talk about self doubt is such an important topic which so many people suffer with. It is a major topic in everyday life and it's great to see someone with such a high profile acknowledging this.
😢😂
You can see why previous managers like the Lad, he is likeable, but he still is a Man Utd SQUAD player, not a first teamer, If I were manager I would be thrilled to have Scott in the team, but as a Sub, he has a role as he scores goals and big ones, but just not as a first team starter, but I do like Scott a lot
We need better subs than him
@@thabisomathabahe is good SQUAD PLAYER
The thing is, he is better than a squad player for the vast majority of clubs and I feel like he is wasted by being one at United. I know a lot of people will disagree but stats don't lie and stats say he is well above average for a premier league midfielder. He would walk into 3/4 of the teams in the league and be one of their best players. Just look at him for Scotland.
I honestly think McTominay and Fred got WAY too much shit. We had way more control during the McFred Ole era than we have had under Ten Hag with Casemiro, Eriksen, Mainoo etc.
:O @@thebiglebrowski3695 What?!?! Tell me this then, how often has Mainoo and Case played together ??
please don't reply with "Wolves and Westham"
mr 100%.... love his mentality.... do think though that his best position is just behind the striker .... there is goals in him... great podcast he’s gone up in my estimation
No one ever questions his personality, drive, leadership etc. Clearly a top man. Just hasn’t found his position (always a worry when that happens) and doesn’t have the technical ability to compete with the best in the PL.
This have always been a big issue with Scotty. He played as striker in his academy days but it was Jose that promoted him to the first time and tries to mold him into a CDM to replace Matic or some kind of box to box midfielder due to his height and physique. Ole, Ralf and ETH continue to played him as midfielder. As fans watching him all these years, we all agree his not a great midfielder. I feel like he should played as a striker with his good scoring form.
I'd disagree.
Think he is a top player. Just not at United cause a team like United need players who can keep errors to a minimum.
Mentality great, but that should come as standard, not to be in on that merit
@@badboy250984he didn’t play as a striker. He’s been asked about it on camera and said it was only for a few games.
literally competes with the best in the PL.
His parents should be extremely proud.
He is a nice lad and very passionate his parents will be so proud of him. In all fairness tho he is not good enough for man utd just like alot of others that are there. He contributes nothing apart from a few recent goals. Is attitude to everything is spot on can't fault him there. I hope he can find a team that need a player like him. Celtic would love him ❤ good luck scott 👍
A very decent guy a credit to his family.
Belongs in Scottish Div 2
Mcsauce should never get any hate when it's clear he always gives 100%
I think Scott is a huge breath of fresh air. There are not many players like him now. I personally believe he’s an attacking midfielder and has proven that this season so many times, and yet people keep trying to knock him down. EVERY TIME HE SCORES I SMILE KNOWING HE HAS DOUBTERS WRONG.
I agree 100%
Fans have the same passion its about talent
I love Scott because he tries his best every time and plays within his limitations. The day he maximises his skills, he will be a crowd favourite. He’s already doing it this season and will get even better next season. Love Scott. Proper United Man.
what a lovely polite lad all the best Scott
@@Charlie_Nicefax
My favourite moment of the video was when he mentioned that whenever the club bought an amazing player he had to show himself and show that he is capable of being in the first team. That is an elite mentality.
but he never did. he only plays because of injuries
@@ddha0000Pfff... How many games have you watched
@@ddha0000your just another non achiever. Jealousy a terrible thing.
@@jimgavin1726mate, he’s a bit crap… deal with it
Man the Carrick compliments were the most pleasing to hear.
Evidently a resilient man who is eager to learn and be humbled. We need players with this mindset coming through the ranks
so.........when is he gonna learn cause he has been shit for years
Wish others in the squad had this mentality
Would love to win the shirt. Just started the podcast. I love the way he talks about his parents and how he enjoyed driving in the car to the games so that they had quality time together. He said they were his best memories. Such a grounded young man
Met him in St Andrews pre season under Ole. My son has a signed McT Scotland shirt which is his pride and joy.
I’ve got my CL final 99 programme and Ole shirt signed and framed which is mine. ❤
I feel Scott is a Preofessional at Manchester United coming up through Ranks then having different Managers, has definitely had an affect on the whole team, not just Scott's performance. Give him the opportunities he still has a good work rate, score important goals. Is high up there for work rate. Keep it going Scott we still believe in you. Good interview by the way and keep up the great work in influencing the young ones coming through the ranks.
yes.......his work rate is incredible especially when we see him jog back help the team meanwhile opposition players are sprinting past him.
Listening to Steve Clarke give him the chance and motivation he needed to shine as the fantastic player he truly is! It's great to see a talent as brilliant as Scott truly making a different impact with just a few encouraging words, especially when things hadn't been going his way during that time. Great way to show why you should never give up!
The guy touches the ball 20 times a match ... stop talking wet.
listening to these Carrington grads speak with high maturity levels surprises me every time Scott, Rashy and even little Kobbie ...just incredible
I really loved that, thanks Scott. You are a credit to yourself, your family, your coaches, past and present and to the fans. Thanks for your attitude on the pitch. Brilliant!
The reason he keeps coming back is that the fancy dans brought in don't have the mindset, guts and fire that he possesses in his physique, determination and will to win.
But at the end of the day, he’s shite and ghosts. United will win nothing with him in CM
Scotland wouldnt be going to the Euros without him
Totally, his goals powered us to qualify. Also he played in the back three to help out. Get's criticised for his passing but has everything else.
Zero Technical Ability @@encouragesolutions2595
All great attributes, all he needs is a footballing brain and skill then he's good to go.
McTominay is a top player, really showing how good he is now. Has been showing it for Scotland for years and now showing it more and more for Man Utd.
My favorite moment was his halfway goal against city it just gave such a boost of optimism and confidence at that time qnd it completed a memorable double over city
True💯
There is no best part. As he says at the end it’s the whole. The whole interview was outstanding. His appreciation of his opportunities and his professionalism makes him one of my favorite footballers of all time.
His mentality is enormous. I like this man.
“I didn’t kick a ball from 16 to 18 in the youth team”- that answers a lot of questions
250 appearances for the club, don't think anyone cares what you have got to say lad
Scott aimt good enough to start and win us titles in a deeper role. As a last gasp sub and squad player I like him. Seems like a good pro and good lad. We need his attitude with more talent around him.
I’m completely happy with mctominay in the team aslong as he isn’t playing holding midfield, he is genuinely a decent player just never been able to play in his position
Great interview. Good to see this side of Scott. Great Player.
12 points and counting, from his best number 10 position. He should be understood as a ‘different’ type of 10 than Bruno et al. Guy deserves everything. Kind words about his family and luck in his life!
What a grounded lad, I hope young players see this and look to Scott at a role model.
one of the greatest interviews ever. One sauce a true professional. big up mi balla
What a guy McSauce is 🏴
Great to hear from one of my favourite players.
The only person that will put my dream up.
Train for yourself that's what really matters
Later came on against Wolverhampton and scored the third goal.
Our current season supper sub.💯💯
Keep going McTomminay
We love and appreciate you scott . I am from Malta 🇲🇹
I hope this guy is making his voice heard in the changing room been there 21yrs some of the higher paid young guns could learn a thing or two off him! Great video again team keep them coming thanks
when is he gonna learn how to play football?
Loved the humility and authenticity. His focus and winning mentality is something to be admired
Wow i have a lot more respect for him after this podcast
nice guy. Everton or West ham would be great for him
its absolutely ok for him to stay and be a squad player...sir alex had john o'shea, darren fletcher etc
@@RAHMAN-qb5ed Both have them still way better players than Mctominay both track back and defends.
@@vickywitvickyMcTominay scores goals. He's top scorer soooo 🤫
@@silewis9396 I still wanted him out.
Loved this ❤
GGMU 👊
One of the best podcasts ❤
You can say whatever you want but one thing for sure is h plays for the badge and I sometimes think he doesn't get the credit he deserves.If everyone in the team has Scott,s work ethic we would be set to top 4 .Side note I have a friend who is a member of Morecambe golf club and he said Scott,s dad is a member and say he is so down to earth and this podcast points to the reason why!
Mate, he’s crap
A decent pro but he isn't good enough for United longer term . Would be a great signing for a team like Crystal Palace.
Can’t lie - enjoyed it still
Mctominay has the right mindset for a united player. Thats where it all starts towards becoming top class player and he is definitely headed there in no time.
Fabulous!!
Big up Scott! Much love from Africa!
I'm trying to learn English by my self, and this podcasts are the grate way to do it, and the British accent, as well, thanks and way to go)
great, grate means to like to grate cheese or carrots
@@blazejgruchala4361 or annoy...like when people correct people on TH-cam 😉
@@bagpussmacfarlan9008he is correct to do so as the wrong must be explained
Thanks for correcting
It’s all good mcsauce the Scot’s took you in like yer auld da said. We love your passion and we know you play for our badge. Keep yer head up
I loved how he said you have to prove what you can do at united every time a player steps on that pitch uts a clean slate they all need to prove what they can do
Loved all of it but pzrticlulary the bit about his struggles and how he kept belief, and also the part about his Grandparents, shows his character - what a guy!
Show some respect. Scott is a top lad, just wish he was also a top footballer
Alex Ferguson recently commented "McTominay should be the first name picked". Moyes was picked by AF, Darren Fletcher has a technical director job thanks to AF, McTominay has a career thanks to AF. Do the math, Scottish denominator.
Currently top scorer. Does everyone else deserve the nepotism tag as well then?
Love this guy
He is 100 million times more a legend than anyone who writes comments on social media. Fact
True but also everyone is entitled to thier opinions in the end the fans are the ones that make the sport what it is
Great interview with Scott - admire his commitment & dedication. Despite this season being frustrating for Utd, I'm proud that we have so many academy players at the core of our team (Marcus, Mainoo, Scott, Garnacho + Dan Gore, Willy etc). Can any other Prem team compete with the Utd academy output....?
None are great...thats include this scott and rashford...2 academy players that is so shite
They bought Garnacho from atletico
He should have doubted himself too. Even though he is crap and keep getting tons of chances while others are given one to none chance and got kicked out.
There must be fairy godfather on his Scottish shoulders, who cast spells on every manager to pick him.
Great lad got a decent family behind him. Not a starter but great to have on bench
My new favourite player!!
Honestly, Elite Mentality!!
Give me a team of players with Scotts professionalism,dedication and heart over a team of superstar prima donnas anyday.The lad is an absolute credit to his parents and the clubs academy system
He was not roasted to be better at football, BUT to build the mental resilience to deal with away fans!! Have you been to an away stadium and see or hear what the fans shout at visitors??? They need to build the resilience against fan abuse and remain focused. That is the way it's!
I like the lad even though people complain sometimes about him not being good enough I’ve always supported him as there is a certain character in people of high value that you can sense at times…Respect Tom, keep fighting bro
He ain't only going to inspire young people, I'm a 45 year old fat bloke, and he has inspired me, what a impressive young man.
I've always felt he's a solid fourth choice CM, that isn't meant to insult him but he's a good backup/super sub for any team
This is a great interview …
He doesn’t half waffle! Stop with the annoying ads too!😊
Bro just saved our ass again. #munast
Fair play to the lad
Brilliant
I love Scott his mentality is great and he’s a great lad. He always fights for the badge!
How can i believe this guy.
A very honest professional who is maximising his talent as a solid Prem player and Scottish international. He shouldn't be doing this feature at this stage of his career and would nice to see him somewhere like West Ham or Everton where he'd play regularly and be appreciated (note Mark Goldbridge's comments about him).
McTominay always scoring in the winner 😊
I genuinely believe if he was to be made captain instead of the hot and cold Fernandes who brings the team down when they are losing, we would see a different player. He is captain material, but does he have the talent as well, maybe not. Still would love to see him captain utd
He must be captain and play 10, it's sick that he isn't captain, he's the best character by far at the club.
The way hes talkin bout Rooney and Carrick,,,They should be coaching our players,,They have the Ferguson Mentality it should be kept in our club,Our old skool should be our coaches
My favourite moment was Scott talking about Mourinho leaving and the self doubt around that. Fascinating to hear that perspective from a player, we don't often get to hear that insight from a player, it's usually a robotic "we're all on board with the new manager "
I don’t get people who don’t like or rate him -he’s class both at club and international level
People being rude in the comments he is obviously not suitable for this man united vision but he has tried his best you don’t know if he reads the comments be nice people
Hes got a great attitude Scott its a shame they play him DM
Some right beauts in the comments this McT epitomizes passion for his club, like any player he had a downer and upper, bet you love him when he bags the winners like he has tho.... Needs to stay he is gonna get even better and be an great example to young players
Amazing to see the drive and passion of Scott, sadly the missing factor is ability. I’d wish that rashford, sancho, Anthony, had that desire with their natural talent.
Hopefully we’ll see these average joes being moved on from the biggest club in the world and resume the number 1 position.
He should not be first team player but he loves the club, gets the club and got a decent shot in him so woudn't mind keeping him as a squad player.
Mentality is key without it all else fails
Big up and Luv Scotty he can be a squad player
That was brilliant; thank you, Scott. I am a Manchester United fan who often criticises your performances (justifiably so, I think). But today, in this podcast, it has shown that as football fans, we need to remember that you guys are only human (somebody's son, daughter, brother, sister) - strangely, this is something we can forget due to the emotion and tribalism football carries. Now I can see why Robbie Savage respects you so much.
I have shared the link to this episode in our family WhatsApp group - Thank you again for the insight!
everybody is somebody's son, daughter and parent. that doesn't mean you get paid 300k grand a week to just get sympathy for having a family and being like everyone else?
@redblazer29 Scott certainly ain't getting that kind of money. He is one of the only United players that I actually like even though he hasn't got the top quality needed.
But the money players get is absolute obscene, especially the shower of charlatans at United (excluding the youth players & lower paid ones).
The ridiculous wages causes a big disconnect between players & fans
‘Play like you mean it’ - acknowledging that the fans just want to see players ‘work hard’ (I may have mentioned this on my episode) 👍🏼
Lol people think this guy scores goals. He’s got 1 in 10
