Scott McTominay believes Jose Mourinho has made him a better person in his breakthrough season at Manchester United.
The Scotland international made his United debut in the final weeks of 2016-17, but he has established himself as a first team player this campaign, tallying 20 appearances in all competitions.
And McTominay paid tribute to Mourinho for his instruction, particularly the Portuguese s pointer that the midfielder would need to make sure he was liked by his team-mates.
Jose Mourinho has been absolutely incredible to me this year, McTominay told the club s official website.
He s helped me so much in terms of what I can do, from being more humble, to being better on the training pitch and just being a better person in general.
When I first came into the group, he said, The players have to like you. That s one of the most important things going into a new dressing room, that you are a likeable person and you get on with everybody. That has stood me in good stead.
Man Utd v Liverpool is what it’s all about So happy for this win Amazing support as usual
