At the start of this season, it was doubtful that Manchester United could compete with reigning champions Liverpool in the title race. However, the Red Devils are now starting to be recognized. Once the club manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made it clear that United’s focus now is development.
“We’re still in the first third of the season, not even halfway through the competition, so status in the league is not something we’re looking at,” he was quoted as saying by the club’s official website.
“We noticed a change in the team, we saw a change in health because we knew we were going to fall behind in terms of health, and I think it showed in the first few games, but at the moment, I think we have shown that we are getting fitter and stronger.”
McTominay said the same thing about Man United’s chance to win the title. “We don’t see the standings,” said the Scottish defensive midfielder.
“We don’t have time to look around, remember all the agenda and games we have. We need to finish one game at a time, one at a time, towards the end of the season, you don’t know where we are going to finish,” added McTominay of the race for the league title.
