Manchester United midfielder, Scott McTominay has come out to admit that a banner held up by supporters of the club inspired their side’s late win against Fulham. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he and his fellow players saw the “Play like you mean it” banner from MUFC fans before the game, and it became clear that supporters were expecting nothing less than a good showing for their hard-earned money and unconditional support this season.
McTominay added that things are not going the best at the moment, but the team will not give up.
His words, “We saw the banner before the game. A few of us said the fans pay good money to come and watch us every week and their support is relentless every single week, so we just want to repay them the best we can. Things aren’t going the best at the moment, but it’s a building block, step-by-step, with the manager and the coaching staff we trust them a lot, we trust the players. I think we can go on and kick on and do better.”
“Obviously we can’t get too carried away, but sometimes when everything is against you and you’ve got to do it your own way and come together and fight like dogs that’s what you’ve got to do. It’s a building block and I thought we did more than enough to win the game in the end.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
