Now, the 27-year-old has revealed how he radically changed his body. He stated that his former Manchester United teammate, Paul Pogba, told him about muscular growth.  

The Scotland international told FourFourTwo, “I think people would be shocked if they knew how hard players work in the gym and how high of an intensity you have to be to push yourself to reach those goals.”

Paul Pogba is attending extra Manchester United training sessions in order to regain his health and join Bruno Fernandes in midfield.

“I had to put in a lot of effort to get stronger.”Paul Pogba stated, “When you get to 23, you’ll put on the muscle.” When nothing happened, I wondered, “Where is it then?!”

Erik Ten Hag may have advanced him up the squad hierarchy due to his frequent workouts. The midfielder has started 12 of United’s 16 Premier League games this season.
