# McTominay’s Scotland Glory Gets the Royal Treatment – But We’re Missing That Fire at Old Trafford

Right, how’s this for mad – our Scott McTominay’s overhead kick is now literally on Scottish banknotes! The Bank of Scotland has immortalised that stunning acrobatic goal on a limited edition £20 note, and the lad himself admits it’s “surreal.” You know what? He deserves every bit of recognition.

Here’s the thing that stings though, Reds. While Scott’s tearing it up for Napoli and becoming a national hero for Scotland, we’re left wondering what could’ve been. The academy graduate who bled red gave us everything – passion, commitment, those thunderous strikes from distance – yet we let him walk away. Remember those crucial goals against Leeds? Against City? The lad showed up when it mattered.

Now he’s thriving in Serie A, and there’s been an unexpected reunion with Michael Carrick too. Imagine that conversation – two United men chatting about the current state of affairs while Scott’s building his legend elsewhere. Carrick, our midfield maestro turned manager, and McTominay, the warrior who always left everything on the pitch. Both moved on to write new chapters.

Fair play to Scott for getting this recognition. That overhead kick clearly meant the world to Scotland fans, and seeing it preserved on currency shows just how much he’s valued there. But let’s be honest – watching him flourish at Napoli while we’re still crying out for midfield steel and character is bittersweet.

The reality is we’ve got a habit of letting these sorts slip through our fingers. Players who understand what the badge means, who don’t hide when things get tough. Scott wasn’t always perfect, but he was OURS.

Here’s hoping whoever’s making decisions at Old Trafford is watching Napoli games and learning a harsh lesson about knowing what you’ve got before it’s gone. Scott McTominay’s on banknotes now – and we’re left counting the cost.
