Gary Lineker has been left baffled as to why Scott McTominay is not getting more game time under Erik ten Hag given his stellar Scotland performances.<\/p>\n

Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

McTominay, 26, has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United and has only featured for seven minutes so far this season, with the midfielder coming off the bench in wins over Wolves and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n

His lack of opportunities at Old Trafford is a stark contrast to his international form after his goal for Scotland in Friday\u2019s 3-0 win over Cyprus, which saw him become the joint-top scorer in Euro 2024 qualifying.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich\u00a0were\u00a0linked with McTominay this summer and even approached United over a possible swap deal but a move never materialised and he remained a Red Devil.<\/p>\n

\u2018I notice Scott McTominay playing and getting in the box a lot,\u2019 Lineker told The Rest Is Football podcast when speaking about the player\u2019s Scotland performances.<\/p>\n

\u2018He scored again in this game, he scored a couple. He\u2019s top scorer in qualifying. <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s nuts, yet he\u2019s not really getting a look in at Manchester United. Someone will go for him [in the January transfer window or next summer] surely?\u2019<\/p>\n

McTominay has spent his entire career at United having progressed through the club\u2019s youth academy.<\/p>\n

He has made a total of 211 appearances for United to date, registering 19 goals and five assists.<\/p>\n

McTominay is looking to inspire Scotland to victory over England when the two nations meet in a special anniversary match later tonight.<\/p>\n
