Scott McTominay has revealed the fear Sir Alex Ferguson used to strike into him as a young player at Manchester United.
The midfielder has established himself as a key player under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after originally joining the Old Trafford side as a youngster when Ferguson was in charge.
And in an interview on BBC's MOTDx show, McTominay explained how Ferguson had a role to play in him celebrating getting his scholarship.
Presenter Reece Parkinson asks McTominay: 'You and United, have you been there since five years old?'
McTominay responds: 'Yeah five years old.'
The midfielder is then asked about the academy and to name a player who impressed him.
The Scotland international says: 'The boss. Yeah, Sir Alex. Yeah, whenever we saw him in the canteen, he would just say, "Are you behaving yourself?"
'You'd just be quiet. You'd never know what to say.
'Especially with him being from Scotland, I think it was special, and he invited us up whenever I signed my scholarship with all the players in the dressing room, it was a Fulham game in the Premier League.'
Ferguson has previously spoken about McTominay's development: 'Scott was a skelf of a boy, then he sprouted when he became an apprentice.
'In fact, he was playing centre-forward for the youth team.They lost Ashley Fletcher to West Ham and Marcus Rashford wasn’t getting into the team at the time because he was also growing.
‘So they played McTominay at centre-forward quite a lot, but he obviously developed into a midfield player. It’s possible he grew ten inches in a year.'
