It feels like he's been a squad player for years. Doesn't feel like it's a youngster.

This guy is going to be an absolute star in the future. He’s so mature and intelligent in his play.
This is what is most encouraging. Subbed after a terrible first half, that would make a lot of young players crumble. He came back in and was superb in the biggest game of the season (Liverpool always is, unless there's a cup final or league winning game).
The pressure on him today was immense and a neutral couldn't have guessed it, and I couldn't notice any signs of it. Very composed and disciplined.
When he passed back to slow the game down, the crowd moaned but Jose clapped. Doing a very tactical job to the manager's delight in the centre of the field against your club's biggest rivals after being subbed off midweek. It's impressive.
So mature out there. Made all the right decisions. I don't get how he can just step into games like this and play like that. You don't get that from young players in CM. Outstanding.
I really like this kid. Played beyond his years and looked like he belonged on that stage today.
He's a brick wall. Twice he's been cleaned out and twice he got up like it was nothing. I loved his composure. A lot of players can learn from that.
He's a Matic clone. It's ridiculous how similar they are.
Can't speak highly enough of this young man.
Was just going to say, think playing next to Matic is something that's really good for him, he looks like at times he could dribble away from danger but feels reluctant to do so, he did a couple of times near the end of the match when he had no other option but otherwise he plays it safe. Matic is great at dribbling into space so Scott will hopefully learn from that.
Of course if he learns how to hit a worldie or two every season I wouldn't complain either
He was fantastic today. Hard to believe he has so little experience when he plays like that.
Did really really really well. Not once looked out of place considering how big the occasion was. We have found a gem!
All you guys who haven't seen it before today you surely did notice today.. My motm. .
I keep getting them confused on the pitch, so similar in passing, movements and both tall too
Very mature performance. I think there’s more to this guy than a lot of people seek to think.
Brilliant today. Completely outshone Can and Milner in the first half. Some great interceptions.
He was brilliant. Fair play to him.
Worth noting as well it was 2v3 in midfield today. Certainly didn't feel like it!
Another great performance in a big game. Well done lad. Suits our set up in these games, we don’t need him against sides like palace
Offers very little on the ball but he's dogged, grafts hard and is good positionally.
50 odd million saved in the summer for a new backup midfielder.
Jose's played a blinder with this kid. So much for him not being great with young talent.
Hopefully Tuanzebe and TFM can come into the fold at some point too.

this kid has great future in United. very good performance today
@limerickcitykid still not enough?
I was probably the first one to point out that here. He's very similar to Matic in almost everything it's ridiculous.
His composure and maturity is way beyond his age.
Really like this kid. The best part of his game is that he gets up like Kane from WWE after a knock.
"We're playing with Mactic at the pivot today."I disagree. He may be similar in a lot of aspects but Matic is much better on the ball and has a great shot. As much as I like McTominay, he still needs to improve on the ball and also learn from Matic how to shield the ball.
Or TakerReally like this kid. The best part of his game is that he gets up like Kane from WWE after a knock.
it's ridiculous really, this is his second time being taken down smakdown to the floor. And he just need some times to recover and get up without needing to roll around or feign injuries.Matic is about 9 years older than him though. Scott still in his developing age so if you compared their quality at Scott's age and if he continues to develop like this, he can very well become Matic's successor.
If you don’t rate McTominay you don’t understand football.
Superb today.
Superb today.
Much much better performance from Scott.
Interceptions after interceptions, he is a constant nuisance to the opponents.
His sliding tackles are much more cleaner this time.
Keep up the improvements, and kept on performing good.
I can't see Scott having similar playstyle as Keane, Matic or whoever players we would like to compare though.
His playstyle is very starkly different than those.

Of course - his maturity is so way beyond his age that I'm sure he'll add these to his game.
Well done lad. Really proud to see him performing like this.
Doesn't quite have the skillset nor attacking inclinitation of Lampard, but someone was saying what stood out about Fwank when he was young was that he wasn't bad at anything. Ditto Kane, incidentally.
McTominay has that feel to him. He's not amazing at anything yet, but his game doesn't have big glaring weaknesses.
I still fear he plays a position where it's easy to 'look' good, but in a perfect world he can swap with Matic as he gets older, rather than playing both. Feel that limits us quite a lot.

I was worried about him playing today but he was very, very good. Especially defensively.
Very good. Most encouraging thing about him is he always has the time to lookup and decide what pass he's going to make and not in the least bit afraid of trying more difficult passes. Matic comparisons are a bit too premature for now given he hasn't demonstrated Matic's level of passing yet. But looks a cracking talent.
I agree. Defenders felt comfortable pushing up knowing he would naturally slot into fullback positions. Not a natural intuition for Pogba to do.
Very good game, played beyond his years. Will be interesting to see how good he can become. A little more adventure in his passing and we’ll have a real gem of a player.
The bloke thought that Pearson was twice the player of McTominay. No point in looking towards him for an objective opinion about McTominay
Think he has been very good in the last 3-4 games. Throw him into crucial matches, and he never has looked overawed even once. I am really starting to believe that he could go on to become a Matic like player in the future.
On to today’s performance, he was phenomenal. Did his job to perfection. Possibly one of our biggest matches this season, and he stepped up to the occasion. What really surprised me was how calm and mature his performance was today. Played like a veteran.
How amazing is it that, despite the millions we have spent, it’s two academy lads that were pivotal for the win, against our biggest rivals, in a crucial match.
