Patrice Evra spoke highly of Scott Mctominay, following his match-winning brace against Chelsea on Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
The Manchester United legend compared Mctominay with legendary English midfielder Frank Lampard, due to his ability to step up during the big moments.
Scott Mctominay has in recent months been praised for his brilliance in front of goal, which has seen him hit impressive numbers for club and country.
The 26-year-old has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist in 16 appearances for Manchester United this campaign.
His brace against Frank Lampard's former side was so soothing for fans of the Red Devils, as it brought them smiles, away from their seething feeling in recent weeks.
Mctominay is Manchester United's highest goal scorer this campaign, and his impressive contribution to the team has earned him a starting berth in Erik Ten Hag's XI.
He was heavily linked with a move away from the Old Trafford club during the summer transfer window, but that doesn't look like a given anymore.
The Scotsman made his debut for the Red Devils on May 7, 2017, in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal, where he came on as a second-half substitute for Juan Mata.
In the 2017/18 season, then manager of Manchester United, Jose Mourinho, utilized Scott Mctominay as a defensive midfielder.
The 26-year-old was impressive, as he brought solidity to the midfield of the club during his early years at the English giants.
Mctominay came in on many occasions and deputized in place of Ander Herera, with the Scotland International churning out a never-to-be-forgotten sublime performance, taming Eden Hazard during the 2017/18 season.
His new bite in front of goal has come as a shock to many, who never thought he was brilliant with the attacking phase of things.
Speaking on Scott Mctominay's display in the 2-1 win for Manchester United over Chelsea, Patrice Evra said on Amazon Prime:
“McTominay is always there when it is an important game scoring goals, He reminds me a bit of Frank Lampard. He is doing this for United and the Scottish national team so very well done.”
Evra noted the distinct trait that he saw in the midfielder that made him compare him to Lampard, saying “he is always in the right place and always running into the box.”
The Frenchman said: “He could have scored four. After the game he was a little bit disappointed.
He had so many chances, he is always in the right place and always running into the box, this is why he reminds me of Lampard tonight.”
Scott Mctominay has made 225 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 25 goals and providing 6 assists in all competitions thus far in his career.
Internationally, Mctominay has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 47 appearances for Scotland.
