Manchester United's Scott McTominay explains how he plans to emulate Robert Lewandowski success

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has admitted that he hopes to follow in the footsteps of Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski and be performing to a similar standard by the time he reaches his age.
McTominay has made the admission head of Scotland facing Poland at Hampden Park in an international friendly on Thursday evening. The Scots were scheduled to face Ukraine in a World Cup play-off semi-final but the game was recently postponed amid Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine.
Instead, Scotland will lock horns with Lewandowski and his Poland teammates, with the contest set to offer manager Steve Clarke a further opportunity to assess his squad ahead of the rearranged clash with Ukraine. FIFA are reportedly hopeful that the contest will be staged in June.

As well as that, the 25-year-old will also use the opportunity to keep a close eye on Poland star Lewandowski and to try and gather information on how he can perform to the striker's standards by the time he reaches his current age of 33.
