In a recent interview, Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay spoke candidly about the challenging times the club has faced under former managers but emphasized the current players’ unwavering support for manager Erik ten Hag.
McTominay acknowledged the responsibility of the players and highlighted the unity within the dressing room, dismissing past toxicity.
Despite Saturday’s Premier League loss to Bournemouth, McTominay expressed the players’ determination to perform well for the football club.
“It is the players’ responsibility, first and foremost,” McTominay said.
“We have had many amazing players and right now we are at the stage where we have big characters in the dressing room.
“It is not just a case of like [with] some of the other managers where it has been a little bit toxic at times – the boys are firmly behind the manager.
“We’ve got amazing coaching staff. We just want to do well for the football club and it’s as simple as that.”
With United facing Bayern Munich on Tuesday for a crucial Champions League match, McTominay emphasized the need for consistency and unity among the players.
Meanwhile, manager Erik ten Hag has attributed the team’s inconsistency to injury issues, expressing confidence in the squad’s ability to perform at high levels with the right attitude.
“We had a regular team [last season], not so many changes, especially in our backline – we had a regular formation and that helps you,” the Dutchman said.
“When we get back to a regular base, we will play better and there is a better chance you are consistent.
“I know this team can perform at really high levels. It is not like we did it three months ago – no, we did it last week. It starts with the right attitude.”
