[인터풋볼] Reporter Lee Hyun-ho = Scott McTomini (24, United)’s past photos are a hot topic.
Born in 1996, McTomini is a midfielder who grew up in the Manchester United youth team. When he was young, he played in the striker position, but now he is playing the central midfielder role. His professional debut was in the 2016-17 season. Having gradually increased the number of appearances, McTomini made 14 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) this season, scoring two goals and one assist.
This time, he even wore the captain’s armband. McTomini played with an armband in the 2020-21 season England FA Cup 3rd round (Round of 64) Watford held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England at 5 am (Korean time) on the 10th. In addition to McTomini, Greenwood, James, Lingard, Mata, Van der Vik, Teles, Tianzeb, Bai, Williams and Henderson participated. Manchester United entrusted the captain to the new McTomini, not to veteran Mata.
In the 5th minute of the first half, McTomini connected the corner kick raised by Mata with a header shot. The ball, leaving McTomini’s head, hit the goal post and shook Watford’s goal net. This one goal helped Manchester United to win 1-0.
Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solshar said, “McTomini is a player with leadership. I wondered what it would look like when he wore the captain’s armband. He did really well as expected. I wasn’t hesitant at all. I led the team well.”
“Our team always trusts young players. McTomini is one of them,” he said. “McTomini is a player with Man U DNA. I know what it means to belong to United. He is a very strong and fast player who can score more goals.”
McTomini, who wore the Manchester United captain’s armband at a young age, said, “I started playing for the Manchester United youth team at the age of five, and it’s already been in my 18th year. It is a great honor to leave the captain’s armband to me. I am very grateful to Director Solshar.”
Manchester United brought out old memories through the club’s social media (SNS) after the victory at Watford. He said, “First start. And now” he left. In the first faded photo, Mactomini and former Manchester United director Alex Ferguson appeared together. This is the moment McTomini joined the Manchester United youth team. Ferguson laughed, putting his hand on McTomini’s shoulder. In the second picture, McTomini was wearing a captain’s armband and performing a goal ceremony against Watford. This is McTomy, which is growing well to meet the expectations of the club and fans.
