# Manchester United: Red Devils fans divided by Scott McTominay’s ‘Player of the Year’ status

**Scott McTominay has been awarded the title of [Manchester United’s Young Player of the Year](https://theathletic.com/1748209/2020/04/16/manchester-uniteds-young-player-of-the-year-scott-mctominay/) by The Athletic.**

The Red Devils academy graduate has made 20 appearances in the Premier League for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist, taking 1.4 shots per game, averaging 1.5 dribbles, and completing at least 2 tackles on average in the English top flight ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/336915/Show/Scott-McTominay)).

Several United supporters suggested McTominay’s nomination was “fully deserved” as the 23-year-old is a “future captain” in-waiting, although some fans disagreed, with one even calling the decision “daylight robbery.”

His teammates Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford have also enjoyed stellar seasons under the club legend, as [the defender](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka) has played in 26 league games, providing 2 assists, making a staggering 3.8 tackles on average, registering 2 interceptions, and averaging 1.9 clearances so far. Meanwhile, Rashford has bagged 14 goals in 22 matches in the division ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/300299/Show/Marcus-Rashford)).

After making his international debut in 2018 under Alex McLeish, the centre-midfielder has won 12 caps for Scotland, and his current market value is estimated at £20.25m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-mctominay/profil/spieler/315969). United fans will be hoping the board can keep a hold of McTominay in the summer in light of his solid performances this campaign.

> Lol people saying Greenwood and AWB should have got it very easily forget what a leader McSauce has been on the pitch. The lad is 23 and future captain of our club.
