Manchester United star Scott McTominay says he enjoys playing as a centre-back for Scotland amid questions over his best position.

Ever since his debut for United in 2017, McTominay has been played in midfield and shown promise as the man providing protection to the backline.

But since the appointment of Steve Clarke as Scotland manager, McTominay has been selected as part of a three-man defence and looked comfortable in the unfamiliar position.

At club level, United have some issues with their centre-backs this season which has led to claims McTominay could be converted.
