Scott McTominay, a Manchester United midfielder, has revealed that he has acquired 15 kg of weight, which he attributes to hard effort in the gym. The 6’3″ Premier League star admitted it was challenging to transition from 70 kg to 85 kg of muscle.

“If people knew how hard players work in the gym and the level of intensity that’s required to push yourself to hit those goals, I think people would have their eyes opened,” McTominay said.

“My figure has changed over the past seven years,” the 27-year-old football player revealed in an interview with FourFourTwo. I was 6ft 3in and 70kg when I was 17 or 18, but today I weigh 85kg. I had to put forth a lot of effort to acquire muscle.

McTominay has previously given updates about his exercises on Instagram. He even sought fellow midfielder and former teammate Paul Pogba for his muscle-building ideas. McTominay alleges Pogba promised him he’d grow muscle when he turned 23. McTominay says, “It didn’t happen, and I remember thinking, ‘Where is it then?!'”

McTominay’s lifting efforts have clearly grown since then, and his figure has transformed considerably over time.

Shifting tin, as we all know, is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to achieving gains; in order to reap the benefits of our labor, we must also provide sufficient fuel and recovery. McTominay is not one to cut corners.

I’m lucky because I’ve always enjoyed going to the gym. I’m competitive there, and I enjoy seeing minor progress. The same holds true for sleep and nutrition: I consider myself disciplined.

The Manchester United player has been working hard off the field, and in the New Year, that effort will definitely pay dividends on the pitch.
