Scott McTominay hails 'great lad and brilliant footballer' Donny van de Beek as rival for midfield spot insists Dutchman's 'time will come' at Manchester United

Scott McTominay insists 'great lad' Donny van de Beek will go on to establish himself as a mainstay in Manchester United's midfield.

The Scot, a rival for the £35million midfielder's position in midfield, has been struck by the former Ajax man's quality despite the fact that opportunities under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been few and far between.

Van de Beek was given only his second start for the club in Wednesday's 5-0 demolition of RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
