Scott McTominay outperformed Barcelona stars during Manchester United defeat, claims Ally McCoist
Ally McCoist has singled out countryman Scott McTominay for praise following his performance during Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Barcelona.The Red Devils were largely uninspiring and Luke Shaws own goal has given them a mountain to climb at the Camp Nou, but McTominays display gave some cause for optimism at Old Trafford.McTominay was a standout performer against Barcelona1
McTominay was a standout performer against Barcelona
The 22-year-old showed no fear against one of world footballs greatest midfields, regaining possession on numerous occasions with his relentless and energetic determination to press.In fact, in L’Equipe’s infamously brutal player ratings, the Scotland international was given a ‘7’ – the highest of any player on the pitch.I thought McTominay mightve been one of the best players on the park last night, Scotland legend McCoist told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast. He was top class. However, his performance was not matched by those in front of him as United failed to register a single shot on target during the match.And McCoist doesnt fancy their chances of progression following the underwhelming result.It wasnt a brilliant Barcelona, he added. Thats one of the concerning things for United because you could look at it as an opportunity missed.Messi wasnt at his best, Suarez wasnt at his best. But they were still comfortable.I fear for United at the Nou Camp, I really do. As brilliant as the result was in Paris, to knock Barcelona out theyre going to need an even better result.
