Bruno Fernandes sends message to Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay after Scotland brace

Bruno Fernandes was quick to joke with Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay after the Scotland midfielder scored a brace in a 3-0 win over Cyprus.
McTominay, who started the Euro 2024 qualifier on Saturday on the bench, came on in the 67th minute.

McTominay has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the summer arrivals of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, with the 26-year-old making just 13 starts in all competitions this term.
Scotland manager Steve Clarke admitted it was 'nice' to have players like McTominay to bring off the bench, but suggested his side went a bit 'casual' in the second half against Cyprus.
"We spoke a lot about getting off to a good start and I thought we started the game really well," he said. "The movement, the rotation of the players, the creation of space was good. We deserved the lead at that time.
"I thought up until 30 minutes we were good and I don't know whether we went
