Match-winner Scott McTominay says that the way manager Erik ten Hag prepared his players to take on Chelsea made all the difference following their 2-1 win at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Manchester United's Scott McTominay gives explosive interview after scoring again for Scotland
17.11.2023 - 11:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay branded Georgia’s players 'babies' after they held Scotland to a draw.
Although Scotland qualified for Euro 2024 in Germany during the last international break and Georgia have failed to secure a place at the tournament, Thursday night's match involved needle between players.
Georgia stunned Scotland when taking an early lead thanks to Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but McTominay scored his seventh goal of Euro 2024 qualifying to level the game after half-time.

It was a superb strike and only Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku have scored more goals than McTominay during qualifying.
Georgia took the lead again shortly after that but Scotland produced an equalising goal in added time. The game ended in a 2-2 draw and McTominay emerged from the dressing room to criticise Georgia's players.
“Every game at this level is big and obviously they’ve got some really good players," he told Viaplay Sports.
"But the way they were acting on the pitch I thought was a disgrace in terms of provoking the referee and it’s not the way it should go, but anyway, that’s football.
“They should do something about people pretending they’re injured when they’re not. It’s a difficult one to call, but rolling around crying like babies is not football and we just wanted to get on with the game and play and do our best to try and win.
"Whereas on the other side, they were provoking the referee a lot. There’s some disappointed heads in the dressing room, but I think it’s something we can build on, coming back twice.”
McTominay has scored three goals for United this season.
