No matter what happens to midfielder Scott McTominay, over the course of his career, he’ll always have October 7, 2023. The Scotsman came on in the 87′ today and created a legend for himself.
Fergie time? Today was McTominay time! Let’s recap it all.

McTominay (who doesn’t really rate by manager Erik ten Hag) came on in the 87′ for Sofyan Amrabat. He made an instant impact, as United soon scored, or so that they thought.
The potential goal, of which no one was sure who it would have been attributed to, was disallowed to due an offsides ruling, via a VAR check.
It wasn’t long until McTominay scored the equalizer, three minutes into stoppage time (we’ll refer to it Fergie Time again, as we’re talking about a Scotsman, and this is a weekend to honor Sir Alex Ferguson, who is grieving the loss of his wife Cathy this weekend).

And then, at 90’+7, McTominay, who has been at the club since he was five-years-old, completed his instantly legendary double from the bench!
