Jose Mourinho was full of praise for Scott McTominay after the youngster picked up the Manager’s Player of the Year award.
McTominay is the first ever winner of the award after the club introduced it at Tuesday’s end-of-season awards ceremony.
David De Gea picked up both the Players’ Player of the Year award and the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award as voted for by fans, but was overlooked by Mourinho in favour of McTominay.
The 21-year-old has featured 20 times for United this season after making the step up from the academy to first-team football.
Mourinho has been consistently full of praise for the young midfielder throughout the season and rewarded his step up by electing him as his Player of the Season.
Mourinho spoke of how impressed he has been with McTominay’s performances this season as he presented him with the award on Tuesday evening.
I think the dream of every boy that arrives in the club is to play for the first team, to play big matches, and in the Champions League and to play eventually for the national team.
This player did this everything in five or six months.
