# Manchester United: Fans react to Scott McTominay’s leadership skills

**Manchester United fans have [praised](https://twitter.com/themanutdway/status/1189884064536449025?s=12) the leadership qualities of Scotland international Scott McTominay after his side’s [2-1](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2019/oct/30/chelsea-v-manchester-united-carabao-cup-fourth-round-live) victory against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.**

The 22-year-old was a [key fragment](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2019/oct/30/chelsea-v-manchester-united-carabao-cup-fourth-round-live) for the Red Devils as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition.

McTominay was [beloved](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/andy-mitten-column-praise-scott-mctominay-beloved-mourinho-blooming-under-solskjaer) by former manager Jose Mourinho and is now a key member of the Norwegian manager’s squad after a string of solid individual performances for United.

The Scottish middle man has scored [two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-mctominay/profil/spieler/315969) and provided [one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-mctominay/profil/spieler/315969) in 13 games this season and finds himself involved a lot more under Solskjaer than he was under the previous managerial reign.

The footage posted by [@TheManUtdWay](https://twitter.com/themanutdway/status/1189884064536449025?s=12) via Twitter showing McTominay pleading with his teammates to regain their shape as United were running down the clock late on in their Carabao Cup tie.
