Scott McTominay delivered a sensational performance with a brace against Chelsea, to ease the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag.
His two goals come as a big relief for Ten Hag, who has constantly been under pressure this season, due to United’s inconsistency.

McTominay found the net in the 19th and 69th minutes, to cancel out a Cole Palmer equalizer just before halftime.
The victory is especially crucial for Manchester United following their lackluster performance in the previous game against Newcastle, where they lost 1-0.
Ten Hag’s decision to drop Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial in the starting lineup paid off, as both have suffered criticism for their recent displays.
