Red Devil Mctominay vows to give absolutely everything in Milan

Scott Mctominay vowed to “give it absolutely everything” at AC Milan, as Manchester United look to progress from a finely poised Europa League tie in a crunch week for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.

The Red Devils kicked off what the 1999 treble hero called a “massive” period ahead of the international break by overcoming high-flying West Ham with a solid 1-0 win on Sunday.

An own goal by Craig Dawson proved enough for United to secure a victory that will see them end March second in the Premier League as attention now turns to two huge knockout cup games.

Solskjaer’s side travel to Italy for the second leg of their Europa League round-of-16 clash against Milan on Thursday with the scoreline at 1-1, before heading to Leicester on Sunday in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

After the West Ham win, Mctominay said: “It is a really big result that one. We’re coming off the back of three games in a week so it’s been tough. We’ve got a longer period now until the next game, an extra day’s rest so, for us, get the feet up, rest really well and obviously go to Milan and give it absolutely everything we’ve got.

“The games after that, we’ll just take them whenever needs be.”

Mctominay was awarded the assist for getting a touch on Bruno Fernandes’ corner before Dawson turned into his own goal on Sunday, when Mason Greenwood shone in attack and twice hit the woodwork.

The 19-year-old was named in the England Under-21 squad yesterday for their Euro 2021 groupstage campaign and is getting back to the impressive form shown last season.

“Mason was brilliant,” Mctominay said of his fellow academy graduate. “He was top drawer. He was so direct, he was very confident whenever he had the ball. That workrate, that intensity and I’m seeing it every single week, to be fair, so long may it continue.”
