Dimitar Berbatov hails the maturity of Scott McTominay's performance for Manchester United against Arsenal.

Dimitar Berbatov has heaped praise on Scott McTominay for an "excellent" performance during Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday night.

The 22-year-old capped off an aggressive first-half display with a thunderous shot which flew directly into the top left corner on the cusp of half time.

Despite Arsenal grabbing an equaliser in the second period, McTominay attracted praise for the power and authority of his performance throughout.

Reacting to McTominay's performance against the Gunners, Berbatov told BetFair: "It is good to see that they are giving chances to young players.

"McTominay was excellent against Arsenal, you can see that he is starting to command the midfield and he scored a great goal, it was an exquisite finish. I could never score a goal like that. It was unbelievable."

McTominay was heavily championed by Jose Mourinho during his tenure at Old Trafford, with the 55-year-old even handing the midfielder a personal award during the club's end of season dinner in May 2018.

The Scotland international has previously spoken of how United's level of performance was not acceptable following a run of two wins in their last 12 Premier League games.
