Scott McTominay gives verdict on Erik ten Hag's start as Manchester United manager

Scott McTominay says there is a real excitement at Manchester United after their strong start to life under new manager Erik ten Hag.

United recorded their second victory of pre-season as they came from behind to defeat Melbourne Victory 4-1 on Friday, just days after thumping Liverpool 4-0.

McTominay levelled the scores for United with a deflected effort from outside the box before Anthony Martial netted on half-time to level the scores. Marcus Rashford netted a third in the second-half and a late own goal completed the score line.

The games come thick and fast, with matches against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace next week, and McTominay can't wait to keep improving under the new manager.

"Whenever you get a new manager, there are a lot of new ideas and a lot of things we have to take on board in terms of the ideas that the manager wants from us and a slightly different formation as well," Mctominay told MUTV.

"I think tonight was a good test in terms of the team we played against. They played a little deeper, harder to break down. Obviously everyone is so, so happy with the new coach in terms of the detail and the work that we are doing.

"Everyone is so fit now. We can get fitter, I can get fitter. The whole team can, which is obviously a benefit for the future as well.

“There’s things we can improve on and we’re looking forward to that as well.”
