Scott Francis McTominay (born 8 December 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Napoli and the Scotland national team.

[4] Although central midfield was viewed as his most natural position, he moved into the attack after there was a lack of an "out-and-out" centre forward in the reserve team.

[11] In the match against Vålerenga on 30 July 2017, McTominay came on as a substitute for Paul Pogba just after the hour mark, and 10 minutes later, he scored his first senior goal for the club – the third in a 3–0 win.

[12] McTominay made his first appearance of the season against Burton Albion in the EFL Cup on 20 September 2017, replacing Marcus Rashford in the 64th minute, in a 4–1 victory.

[17] Replacing the injured Nemanja Matić, his first start of real significance under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjær was against Liverpool on 24 February.

[35] On 10 January 2022, McTominay scored a goal against Aston Villa to help Manchester United advance into the fourth round of the 2021–22 FA Cup.

[36] McTominay started games less frequently for United during the 2022–23 season than in previous years, following the signing of Casemiro as their first choice defensive midfielder.

[37] He won his first senior trophy on 26 February 2023, appearing as a substitute in the second half of the 2023 EFL Cup final against Newcastle United.

[38] On 7 October 2023, after coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute, McTominay scored twice in stoppage time to give United a 2–1 comeback win against Brentford.

[41] On 17 March 2024, McTominay scored the opening goal and assisted an extra-time equaliser from Marcus Rashford in a dramatic 4–3 win against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

In November 2017, McTominay told Scottish Football Association performance director Malky Mackay that he wanted to concentrate on securing a place in the Manchester United first team.

Manchester United academy coach Brian McClair explained "McLeish made a huge effort getting to Carrington to meet up with him, because it was in the middle of the bad weather that we had.

[61] For the international games played in September 2020, McTominay was used as a centre-back in a three-man defence by head coach Steve Clarke.

[63] He converted his penalties in the shootouts against Israel and in the final playoff against Serbia, helping Scotland qualify for UEFA Euro 2020, their first tournament in 23 years.

[64] He started all three Group D games against the Czech Republic, England and Croatia; however, Scotland failed to qualify for the knockout stages.

[70] A week later, he started the opening match of the tournament as Scotland lost 5–1 to hosts Germany;[71] it was his 50th international appearance (teammate Ryan Christie also reached the milestone).

[72] On 19 June, he scored Scotland's goal (aided by a deflection from Fabian Schär) as they got their first point in a 1–1 draw in their second group match against Switzerland in Cologne.
