EURO 2024 is just around the corner, so we took a deeper look at some of the best talent. This piece discusses Scotland’s Scott McTominay.
The 27-year-old Scot has been in fine form recently while on international duty, so the fans will be hoping he can continue this on the big stage at EURO 2024.
Player Profile
Scott McTominay
- Overall Scotland: 49 caps / 8 goals
- 2023/24 Club stats: 43 games / 10 goals
- 2023/24 Club honours: FA Cup winner
Form in Qualifiers
McTominay was in inspired form during the EURO 2024 qualifiers, where he scored an impressive seven goals, just one less than England forward Harry Kane.
This purple patch of form at a crucial time for his nation earned McTominay Scotland’s 2023 men’s player of the year award, so he will be vital in the upcoming competition.
Premier League Pedigree
McTominay is one of just five players in the Scotland squad who competed in the English top flight last term, which is arguably the most competitive league in Europe. This means he knows what it takes to play against the best.
Not only did McTominay feature 30 times in the Premier League for Manchester United last term, but he also chipped in with eight goal contributions from midfield in an out-of-form side.
Versatility
McTominay primarily plays as a midfielder for United, but he grew up in the academy featuring as a striker, and he has shown his capabilities playing at the top of the pitch for his nation.
With versatility comes great responsibility, as he might be called upon to play in several different positions throughout the tournament. Steve Clarke will be aware that he is certainly up to the job.
