Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ready to build his side around young midfielder Scott McTominay after fine displays in Manchester United's poor run of form
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been impressed with Scott McTominay this season
* The Man United boss sees the midfielder as an automatic starter next season
* He believes the Scot can be a central figure in the team going forward
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ready to build his team around young midfielder Scott McTominay as he looks ahead to next season.
The Red Devils saw their feint hopes of finishing in the top four end with Sunday's draw to relegated Huddersfield but McTominay was one of the few players to do himself justice on the day.
The 22-year-old showed the kind of desire and work-rate that United have been lacking so often this season, capping his display with a goal.
Scott McTominay has impressed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since he took charge of Man United. Solskjaer is ready to build his United side around the young Scottish midfielder going forward
McTominay, a United academy product, made his senior debut two years ago on Tuesday.
He has gone on to play an increasing role in the side with Jose Mourinho awarding him his Manager’s Player of the Year award last season.
The Scot has finished this campaign strongly, starting six of his side's last 11 Premier League games, and The Mirror claim Solskjaer now sees him as an automatic starter and central figure for next term.
Fellow midfielders Ander Herrera is joining Paris Saint-Germain in the summer while Paul Pogba is pushing for a move to Real Madrid.
McTominay was rewarded with a new contract in January until 2023 and Solskjaer has since been impressed by how he has performed in what have been difficult circumstances.
His reading of the game, passing range, attitude and commitment have caught the eye in particular.
