Unlikely man sets standard in Benni McCarthy training session at Man Utd
The Daily and Sunday Express is the home of the 27-year-old midfielder who has impressed coaches away from the cameras by setting a training pitch standard. His late header past Emiliano Martinez continued United’s winning run and boosted their faint Champions League qualification hopes. McTominay’s impact prevented a problematic second season for Erik ten Hag from becoming more disastrous. Despite losing his starting position to 18-year-old superstar Kobbie Mainoo, McTominay has earned respect from his coaches at Carrington.
It’s claimed he was one of the first out on the grass for training sessions. Benni McCarthy oversaw a shooting drill, with McTominay setting the standard and rocketing his reputation within the walls of Old Trafford. Ten Hag is using McTominay as an impact substitute with the license to roam and arrive late in the penalty area. After United’s 2-1 win at Villa Park, Ten Hag expressed how happy he was with McTominay, praising his energy and spirit while training and contributing to the team.
He highlighted McTominay as an example for other players, always ready to give his best on the pitch and during training sessions.
