It’s just not true, Utd had many cases where Fergie was told of players on nights out. The players knew if anything occurred that it would get back to fergie. That was also the culture back then, now players and clubs seem to be way more strict about conditioning and diet. Also everything gets put on social media nowadays so clubs don’t want any scandals or bad press

[@jimjogger306]

I'm glad how honest he is when he says all of this is a small price to pay for being a footballer, The price you pay is unbelievably small in the grand scheme of things. For normal people, Raising a fammily is a much bigger price to pay, When you have a child for normal working people, Thats 10 grand a year out of the working wages gone, No more lavish holidays, No more new car every few years, No more big treats, no more going out for meals when you feel like it, The price these pay is so small in comparison to that of normal people trying to raise a fammily, Money makes things much more easier, and thats the fact of it. We've come into a era of 'feel sorry for the celebrity with millions of pounds', Glad someone like Scott knows the facts of things.

[@roopney]

good comment, he will miss out on things like the partying with friends and all of that. but usually you spend more time older than younger....

[@sdemosi]

Agree with you. McTominay will find himself at the end of his career in his 30s with millions in the bank, hopefully other assets he has invested sensibly in, and a lot of life to lead. If he can avoid serious injury he will have a fantastic life by comparison with 99.99% of his peers. I don't feel sorry for him or any other top flight footballer. The ones who get injured and find themselves in much lower leagues or out of the game in their early 20s deserve sympathy. Not the millionaire success stories

[@thekidd7]

I was just wondering whether Jake wanted us to get out the violins for the poor millionaires who can't go to the pub. He can do that from 35 to the end of his life whilst being disgustingly wealthy. Someone needs to tell Jake about food bank usage in this country.

[@jimjogger306]

@@thekidd7It annoys me when they make being a proffesional footballer a contribution towards depression and anxiety, None of them come from being a footballer, it comes from being human. If they had a 9-5 normal job earning 40k a year, They'd more than likely still suffer with the above. The problem with people like Jake is they suffer from a severe disease called 'Living under a rock'

He is a great guy and united should be proud of him i certainly am. I first safe the busby babes and they were amazing but the best goal i have seen was Scott McTominay long shot against City. Watching look and then run into that open space he was the first to see that and the finish sublime. So any one who says any difference in play only need look at before the oppositions goalie looks at the ball and follow his run. magic. He runs a good distance before the crowd see him nearing the ball. Thanks a million Scott.

As an Arsenal fan losing Scott at United would be a huge loss for them. So grounded, intelligent and passionate. Not only this but he has won Man U so many points this season which could have painted a very different story to what they see now.
