How Amrabat could unlock one of Man United's most divisive players - shown in lineup

Scott McTominay is enjoying an impressive goalscoring streak for Scotland. The midfielder has found the target six times in Euro qualifiers.

This fine return isn't surprising. McTominay who started his career as an attacker is deployed in an advanced role by his country manager.

At Man United, he's mostly played as part of a double pivot, with more defensive duties than offense. That could, however, change.

The signing of Sofyan Amrabat on deadline day could open the door for McTominay to be used in a more advanced role.

Ten Hag could pair the Moroccan with Casemiro while moving Bruno Fernandes over to the right wing to accommodate McTominay.

The Scotsman's off-ball running and late entries into the box could be of value to United in games against deep defences.

Whatever the case may be, McTominay will be desperate for more playing time after featuring for only seven minutes this season.
