Scott McTominay named the three ‘world-class’ Man Utd players in the 2-1 victory over Chelsea

In the 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Scott McTominay feels that three players for Manchester United were “world class.”

At Old Trafford, Manchester United prevailed thanks to two goals from Scott McTominay. The Scottish midfielder denied Chelsea a point after Cole Palmer had tied the score in the first half.

The Red Devils came out swinging after suffering such a depressing and dull loss to Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. If McTominay had been more clinical, the 26-year-old might have scored three goals for United against a subpar Chelsea team.

Erik ten Hag’s team gave a great effort from all 11 players on the field, and the outcome will undoubtedly give them a lot of momentum.

In an interview with Amazon Prime following the game, McTominay named three United players he thought were elite on a crucial night for the Red Devils.

The midfield player, who now has six goals for the season across all competitions, was asked about his goal-scoring exploits and he singled out three players in particular.

The Scottish midfielder said, “I have to give credit to all the boys, but I am delighted to score two goals.” “Here’s a list of players who were top-notch tonight: Anthony, Bruno Fernandes, and Harry Maguire.”

United turned up

After their crushing loss to Newcastle United, things were looking very bad for the Red Devils, but a tenacious and gritty victory over Chelsea has taken the edge off of the Dutchman.

Following the loss to the Geordie team, Bruno Fernandes in particular gave the Red Devils a true captain’s performance.

After the Red Devils’ match against Mauricio Pochettino’s team, any doubts over the players’ allegiance to Ten Hag would have been dispelled.

The Red Devils’ next few weeks will be crucial as they take on formidable opponents like Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Aston Villa—who just defeated Pep Guardiola’s team 1-0 to go ahead of Manchester City.
