Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has explained the decision to honor midfielder Scott McTominay with the captain’s insignia.

As per the Dutch coach’s assessment, this football player is an ardent supporter of the team and merits the utmost regard.

“He embodies what it means to represent Manchester United on the field with this symbolism at the core of one’s being.” “I am certain he will become an example of passion and desire and a communicator,” Ten Hag is quoted as saying by journalist Fabrizio Romano.

In the summer of 2017, McTominay, who graduated from the Manchester United academy, was promoted to the first team.

The 27-year-old footballer represented Manchester United in 228 matches, accumulating 25 goals and six assists.

The transfer fee for the seasoned player, who was champion of the League Cup with the Red Devils, is twenty-five million euros.
