United briefing: Ole keen to unleash McTominay

Our 24-year-old Scotland international lashed in the Reds’ FA Cup fifth-round winner in extra-time to beat West Ham United 1-0 at Old Trafford and secure a place in the last eight of the Emirates FA Cup.

McTominay was a late second-half substitute against the Hammers and broke the deadlock in the 97th minute of the tie.

The boss had lamented in one post-match interview that United were sometimes too “sidefooty” with our attempts to find the net. But McTominay continued his recent fine form to bring a lethal, clean finishing quality to win the match.
