Man Utd midfielder Scott McTominay happy at the back for Scotland

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is happy playing at the back for Scotland.

McTominay has been regularly deployed on the right side of a back three by national team boss Steve Clarke, in contrast to his box-to-box midfield role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

He said: “Before, whenever the manager of Scotland asked me if it was a role I was comfortable with, I was like: 'Of course'. Whatever the manager asks you to do, you do," he said.

“But I could not remember the last time I played there, which I said to him, but it's a different role I'm enjoying.

“We have a big game coming up and it is important for us to get a big win there as we'll be off to the Euros."
