After enjoying a breakthrough season in 2018-2019, Scott McTominay built on this, cementing his stake in the first team and was one of the best players in the current campaign before a knee injury sustained in December halted his momentum.

Following his return to full fitness, the Scottish international was slowly eased back into competitive action and was handed his first start in over two months in the clash with Club Brugge.

The 23-year-old was charged with anchoring the base of midfield alongside Fred and he once more showed what Manchester United have been missing, with an assured performance that belied the fact he has been out of action.

He and Fred were on hand to mop up any chance fashioned by Club Brugge on the rare occasions that they ventured forward, ensuring that the home side totally dominated proceedings.

The two men combined in the 41st minute, with the Brazilian international teeing up McTominay and the academy graduate did not make any mistake, rifling in a one-time shot past the dive of Simon Mignolet.

He was substituted for Mason Greenwood in the 72nd minute and with his performance tonight, he would be a shoo-in back to the first team.
