Manchester United recently registered a third successive Premier League win after Scott
McTominay’s late heroics against Aston Villa on the road.
The Scotland international has transformed into a brilliant super-sub in recent months, and he
made the difference with a 85th-minute goal at Villa Park.
The 27-year-old has now made eight goal contributions in the league this season. This constitutes
to 24 per cent of the club’s goal involvements, as per The Athletic.
Bruno Fernandes is the only other player in the United squad with the same contribution. He has
three goals and five assists in the ongoing campaign.
Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund have been involved in only seven
goals thus far which highlights McTominay’s importance.

We recently saw a statistic that United would have had 12 points less without
McTominay’s goals.
The Scot may not be an assured starter under manager Erik ten Hag anymore, but his influence
off the bench is as valuable as any player in the starting line-up.
