McTominay says Man Utd need reaction at Spurs after Liverpool defeat

United have the perfect reference for the type of performance Scott is calling for, with Solskjaer’s side recovering from a half-time deficit in north London six months ago to beat Spurs 3-1.

It was one of our most impressive showings in 2020/21 and was borne out of a sense of injustice when Edinson Cavani’s first-half goal was ruled out for a perceived foul by McTominay on Son Heung-min.

“Obviously, you can’t stop thinking about Liverpool but that’s the reaction that we need,” said Scott, when we reminded him of that encounter. “Something like that. A game like that.

“There are fighters in the team and leaders, we’ve got so much experience and we’re looking forward to it. It can’t come quickly enough.”
