Man United legend David Beckham has sent a virtual pat on the back to Scotland hero Scott McTominay.It was the most outrageous of comebacks from the big midfielder when he saved United from being further plunged in to crisis at the weekend, salvaging a defeat to Brentford at home with two injury time goals off the substitutes bench.
The 93rd and 97th minute at Old Trafford saw the popular Tartan Army man come up trumps for under pressure boss Erik Ten Hag in what McTominay described as one of the highlights of his career.And game recognises game when it comes to United as former Red Devils star and England icon Beckham came out in support of the 26-year-old.
McSauce, as he's dubbed by rabid Scotland fans, has found game time tough under Ten Hag who was forced to admit following the heroics he has United 'in his heart'.McTominay shared a message of his own to his socials, saying "This is what it means to be at this football club," which Beckham replied to adding: "It's what it has always been about [love heart emoji], well said." United shared the interaction with the caption: "United, always inspiring."It's the highest of praise for the midfielder who now turns his focus to Scotland's crucial Euro 2024 qualifying game with Spain.
