'They didn't want to play - Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay involved in tunnel row
21.06.2023 - 09:47 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United's Scott McTominay was involved in a row with opposition players on Tuesday night, as they appealed in the tunnel for Scotland's game to be postponed due to a large amount of surface water gathering on the pitch.
McTominay started for Scotland in their Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia at Hampden Park and his nation took a 1-0 lead immediately after the first whistle, but the game was suspended after six minutes because of torrential rain.

McTominay took umbrage to the Georgia appeals and he was overheard saying outside the dressing room: "Wait a minute here, you know, I know that's playable out there. Let's just get it on."

"Full credit to the boys. We were warm in there and kept our heads and I thought they were a little bit rattled when they didn't want to play so I feel like we kept concentration and the game plan and did really well."
McTominay made just 10 league starts this season for United but he's a valued squad member for Erik ten
