# ‘Our future captain’ – Man United fans on Twitter react to midfielder’s Mourinho comments

**The Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern have been reacting to comments made by their 21-year-old Scottish international, Scott McTominay. Whilst speaking in an interview for the *[Manchester United website](https://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2018/Apr/scott-mctominay-reveals-jose-mourinho-advice-to-settle-into-senior-manchester-united-team.aspx?utm_campaign=ManUtd&utm_medium=post&utm_source=twitter)*, the youngster said how much Mourinho had helped him both on and off the pitch as he’s settled into life as a senior player at the Manchester club.**

The Manchester United fans propping our bar up have been delighted with Mctominay’s contributions to the first-team this season. The young Scot has made 20 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils and after a successful breakthrough season, it’s likely that the midfielder will be a regular feature at Old Trafford for years to come. The 21-year-old is yet to score his first Manchester United goal, but if he keeps putting in the displays that he has been this year then it’s just a matter of time until he finds the net.

McTominay is just one of a number of senior players at Manchester United who came through the club’s ranks. Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba all came through at United, despite the fact Pogba took a few years out to develop his game at Juventus. Now though, McTominay has been sharing how Mourinho has been key in his rise to senior football this year. The 21-year-old claimed that Mourinho’s advice has helped become more humble, better on the training pitch and a better person in general.
