MANCHESTER UNITED midfielder Scott McTominay could come up against England at Euro 2024 – but he could have played for the Three Lions.

And the story of how he could play for England is very interesting.

Why isn’t Scott McTominay playing for England?

McTominay qualifies to play for the Tartan Terriers through his Scottish father and pledged his allegiance to Scotland in 2018.

McTominay has been capped twenty-three times for Steve Clark’s side, but is yet to score for the national team.

He made his Scotland debut in March 2018 in a friendly against Costa Rica in what was then manager Alex McLeish’s first game in charge, before making his competitive debut in September 2018 against Albania.

The Manchester United man has been playing a senior role for his country at Euro 2024 alongside Kieran Tierney and Andy Robertson.

McTominay is a product of the Manchester United academy and is a one-club man so far in his career, playing over 100 times for the Red Devils since making his debut in 2017.

The Scot has suffered heartbreak with the English giants by losing the 2018 FA Cup final to Chelsea and the incredible 2021 Europa League final to Villareal on penalties.
