The decision about Scott McCoy’s future at Manchester United has reportedly been made.

During the summer, McTominay was for sale, and teams like West Ham and Newcastle expressed interest in the Scottish international.

Nevertheless, a deal that may have seen McTominay leave for as much as £50 million fell through.

Under Erik ten Hag, the 26-year-old had descended the social hierarchy.

However, his value to the squad has once again been recognized following his outstanding performance against Brentford, where he scored two goals in injury time to give United the victory.

Ten Hag has reportedly ruled out a January transfer, according to the Daily Star.

According to reports, the Dutch manager believes he cannot afford to lose another player from his injured team.

Additionally, McTominay’s track record in that area may provide Ten Hag with the ideal answer, as United is having trouble scoring goals.

Ever since he scored two goals against Cyprus in March, McTominay has averaged a goal or an assist for both club and nation every 89 minutes.

He stands out for having the best goal-contribution record of any Manchester United player during that time, with nine goals and one assist in 888 minutes.

In Thursday’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain, McTominay looked to have regained his scoring form with an incredible free-kick; however, the goal was disallowed, and Spain went on to win 2-0.

He recently addressed rumors that, in the club’s academy, he was a striker before disclosing his best position.

“Just being alive in the box and being quick with it and not being on your heels or sleeping in the box [is key]- whenever there’s a chance for a goal to go in the back of the net you need to take it,” he said in a statement to Man Utd media representative. That’s how I’ve always thought.

“People would often say, ‘You used to be a striker.’ I didn’t ever play forward.

“We didn’t have a striker, so I played two games there with [former Reserves coach] Warren Joyce. People often comment, “He used to be a striker, that’s why,” whenever I score a goal.

“I was never a striker before! Since I’ve always played as a number eight in the midfield, it’s weird to hear things like that.”
