Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Scott McTominay is the most professional player at Manchester United.

Solskjaer has undertaken an interview with a difference; with two young fans for the club’s website.

Experienced goalkeeper Lee Grant also posed two questions to his boss, and one asked who is the best professional at the club.

Solskjaer said that Grant, despite his lack of gametime, is up there, but plumped for McTominay.

“You know, if you hadn’t told me earlier about the six, seven, eight biscuits he’s having in the morning, I would probably say Lee Grant,” said Solskjaer.

He was referring to an earlier segment where Grant’s guilty pleasure of biscuits and milk in the morning was revealed. We told you the interview was light-hearted!

“So he’s lost out on that one, he’d have been a very good contender. There’s many, many, many professional players here – very professional.

“You know who I’m going to say? Scott McTominay.”

Solskjaer’s answer won’t be a great surprise, although perhaps some might have expected Edinson Cavani to have got the nod.

The United boss mentioned the Uruguayan’s professionalism on numerous occasions last season, saying it sets an example to the rest of the squad.

That’s no doubt one of the reasons the club were so keen to tie him down for another season.

Grant is a more surprising contender, but his application and professionalism perhaps goes a long way to explaining why he was handed a new one-year deal in the summer, despite being fourth choice goalkeeper following the arrival of Tom Heaton.
