In the last few years, the Manchester United player has gone from 70 kg to 85 kg, which is an amazing change.
McTominay is a key player for Erik ten Hag’s team. He got there by going through the club’s school and then making the first team.
But he has now admitted that he was worried about getting bigger before Paul Pogba gave him advice.
The past United star told McTominay that he wouldn’t get stronger until he was 23.

In an interview with FourFourTwo, the Scotland international said, “I think people would be shocked to learn how hard players work in the gym and how intense it is to push yourself to reach those goals.”Over the last seven years, my body has changed. I was 70 kg and 6 feet 3 inches tall when I was 17 or 18. Now I’m 85 kg. To get stronger, I had to work really hard.
“I told Paul Pogba about it once, and he told me, ‘When you get to 23, you’ll become stronger.'” After it didn’t happen, I asked myself, “Where is it then?!?”
“I’m lucky that I’ve always loved going to the gym. I like small wins, and I’m good at competing in that area. The same goes for what I eat and how much sleep I get. I’m very regimented, and I’m proud of that.
Ten Hag has also made the 27-year-old an important part of his goals.
So far this season, he has been great. He has scored six goals from midfield in all categories.
McTominay was also captain of Manchester United when they played Liverpool at Anfield earlier this month.
He also got seven goals in ten games for Scotland, which helped them get into Euro 2024.
