Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits he struggled to watch bitter rivals Liverpool lift the Champions League trophy on Saturday night – but he was delighted for Andy Robertson.
The Reds won their sixth European Cup with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham to cap off a remarkable season, while United will still be reflecting on their dreadful campaign.

The Red Devils finished a staggering 31 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League this season.

And McTominay, who has been with United since the age of five, could barely watch as Jordan Henderson held the famous trophy aloft.
“I’m a Man United man through and through so I can’t lie it wasn’t easy, it was a tough watch,” McTominay told the Herald.
