Another brilliant double-save to deny McTominay became all the more important when Cole Palmer levelled on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n<h2>Scott McTominay, United&#8217;s leading goal scorer<\/h2>\n<p>You would have got long odds on Scott McTominay becoming the first Manchester United player to reach four Premier League goals this season.<\/p>\n<p>Credit to the midfielder for winning Erik ten Hag round.
