Young midfielder Scott McTominay has become something of a favourite with the Old Trafford faithful since making his debut for the club off the bench against Arsenal two years ago, with his no-nonsense style.
The Scotland international also announced himself on the European stage with eye-catching performances against Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in last season's Champions League and he has carried that form into the new campaign.
At the weekend, McTominay was once again one of the key men in the centre of the park for United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men fought out a much-needed 1-0 win over Leicester City.
In particular, the youngster was praised for a crunching tackle on Ben Chilwell, with the official club account sharing a video of the challenge on Instagram.
Fans celebrated the 22-year-old's physicality, as did his Manchester United teammates with Andreas Pereira even coining a brilliant new nickname for him: "The McTerminator."
It remains to be seen whether or not the United youth product's new moniker will stick but we think it's got a certain ring to it.

he's the future no doubt. I was scared when we lost Herrera but this dude has banished all memories of him. he's every thing u need in a midfielder. young, strong intelligent n fast. he doesn't mind siting deep just as he can carry the ball forward too with some skill. that's a 60-70 million player in this market

Maybe Mou wasn't right choice fr us bt his assessment of a player was never wrong. United bought Maguire this year bt he already made him priority last summer. He said United need a solid defence fr Fred to flourish and hopefully we can see that happen now
