Scott McTominay’s Scotland took against the host Germans in the opening match of the 2024 European Championship. Despite playing every minute, the MU midfielder was unable to save his home club from a humiliating loss.

The road to the group stage proved exceedingly difficult for McTominay and his colleagues following a 1-5 loss. Among Group A’s teams, Scotland has the lowest FIFA ranking, behind Switzerland, Hungary, and Germany.

A another “Red Devils” player, Lisandro Martinez, had to experience bitter fruit a few hours afterward. In Argentina’s friendly match against Guatemala, coach Lionel Scaloni started the MU midfielder.

Martinez, in an unsuccessful attempt to clear the ball, scored an own goal in the fourth minute. With two goals each from Lautaro Martinez and Lionel Messi, “La Albiceleste” rallied to defeat “Tominay” 4-1, and the 26-year-old player was fortunate than McTominay.

Argentina will play their last tune-up before the 2024 Copa America this morning. On June 21, the Tango squad will take the field against Canada.

The South American football tournament is a good place for Martinez to make his debut. Coach Scaloni started him for the full match in both of his previous friendlies.
