Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has spoken about the role Jose Mourinho played in his career, after the Portuguese manager was axed by Italian side Roma this week.

He said: “When I first went over, maybe at the start of the 2017 season, I was going over to train with Jose and there were a lot of lads on international break. Refs (in training) are always a little bit biased to the first team vs the young lads and I was losing my temper, raising my voice a little bit too
