A few days after being heavily linked with a summer move to St James’ Park, Scott McTominay scored a six-minute brace for Scotland on Saturday afternoon.
On Monday, The Telegraph reported that Newcastle looked set to make a summer move for the Man Utd midfielder, with Eddie Howe believing his physicality and athleticism can add something different to his side.
One thing the 26-year-old is not known for is his goals – he’s scored just once in 36 for his country and two in 32 for the Red Devils this season – but the Scot bagged two in Scotland’s 3-0 win over Cyprus yesterday, reminding Toon chiefs that he is capable in the final third with two late goals at Hampden Park.
His first features a lovely touch and left-footed finish after a smart run behind Cyprus’ back line, while his second is with his right, firing into the corner after arriving late into the box from an Andy Robertson cut back.
Watch both goals below from Scotland’s opening EURO 2024 qualifier:
Aye – I’m sure that’s what he was doing.
Responding to Newcastle rumours!
