Scott McTominay, Manchester United's midfielder, urged the team to prioritize consistency following their crucial 2-1 victory against Chelsea. The win at Old Trafford alleviated some pressure on beleaguered manager Erik ten Hag, with McTominay emerging as the hero with a brace.
Despite the relief brought by the victory, McTominay stressed that the true significance would only be realized if Manchester United could replicate such performances consistently. The team, currently in sixth place, faced adversity earlier in the season, notably stumbling in a Champions League draw at Galatasaray and succumbing to a lackluster loss against Newcastle.
Speaking candidly about the team's aspirations, McTominay emphasized the need for a delicate balance in their performance levels week in and week out. He underscored the importance of demonstrating the same focus, determination, and high-quality play that characterized their triumph against Chelsea.
The midfielder acknowledged that the win served as a platform to reassure fans and provide a positive reaction after recent disappointments. However, he stressed that this level of commitment and performance must become the norm, with players within the dressing room echoing the sentiment.
As Manchester United seeks stability and success under Erik ten Hag's leadership, McTominay's call for sustained excellence resonates with the team's aspirations to rise above inconsistency and deliver a standard of play that befits the club's storied history.
