Scott McTominay is the best player at Manchester United because of me, says Mourinho

Jose Mourinho believes he is responsible for Scott McTominay's rise at Manchester United, claiming the midfielder is now the best player at Old Trafford.

The 23-year-old has become a regular at the Theatre of Dreams under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season and earned rave reviews in the recent victories against Mourinho's Tottenham and Manchester United after returning from injury.

McTominay made his Red Devils debut in 2017 under Mourinho while the Portuguese coach was in charge of the club, with the Scotland international receiving a Manager's Player of the Season award from his boss at the end of the 2017-18 season.
