Scott McTominay says Jose Mourinho holds a “special place in my heart” and has revealed his former manager still keeps in contact with him.
Mourinho handed McTominay his United debut, bringing the midfielder on in a Premier League match at Arsenal in 2017.
McTominay, who was used in a variety of different roles by the Portuguese, has gone on to become a mainstay in the midfield of Mourinho’s successor, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, this season.
Despite his sacking at United, Mourinho still has a special bond with McTominay – the player he said “will always be my boy” – and continues to have an influence on his career.

Despite his sacking at United, Mourinho still has a special bond with McTominay – the player he said “will always be my boy” – and continues to have an influence on his career.
“Jose is very special to me,” McTominay told Sky Sports News. “He still keeps in contact with me now and keeps in touch after some games.
“He’ll always have a special place in mine and my family’s heart because he’s the one who brought you in, he was the one who trusted you, he was the one who had belief in you.
“I owe a tremendous amount of credit to him because if it wasn’t for him I might not necessarily be sitting in this seat.”
