Bryan Robson believes Scott McTominay can blossom for Manchester United into a box-to-box midfielder - and thinks the Scotland international can get 'between 10 and 15 goals a season' if he plays in that role

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson believes Scott McTominay can excel as a box-to-box midfielder just as he did - and believes the Scot can reach double figures for goals if played in that role.

Robson scored 99 goals in 461 games for the Red Devils across 13 seasons and won two Premier League titles, three FA Cups and a League Cup under Ron Atkinson and then Sir Alex Ferguson.

McTominay has predominantly featured as a sitting midfield player during his United career and Robson is keen to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer give the 24-year-old an opportunity further up the pitch.
