Mourinho: for me, McTominay is the best player of the season at Manchester United

The head coach of Manchester United Jose Mourinho commented on the decision to award the best team player this season for his version of midfielder Scott McTominay.

"I think the dream of any boy who got into the club is to play for the first team. When this dream is fulfilled, the next game is the big matches, the Champions League and the performance for the national team. For five or six months, this football player gives himself away, so for me the player of the year is Scott McTominay.

Last year Matic told me that he wants to play for me and Manchester United and is going to achieve this. He did it, and this season he showed incredible stability and helped the team achieve a balance. It seems that he played in all matches. I was going to give it to him, but then I realized that out of two awards for young players, Scott did not get one. So I decided to change my mind. He did everything by starting the season at the academy and ending with his game in big matches, derby and the Champions League. He has already become an important part of the team. So I thought that this guy can not go home without a reward, and my prize goes to him, "Mourinho's press service quotes Manchester United.

This season, the 21-year-old midfielder spent 10 matches in the English Premier League.
