Former West Ham manager David Moyes explains why he tried to sign Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, and why Hungary's Dominik Szoboszlai is such a threat.

That has to happen as much as possible if Scotland are going to get the result they need in their last game in Group A.

When I watch him, it is his goals that stand out. He has got plenty of them for club and country in big games in the past few months, so many that it makes me think that he might end up being Scotland’s top scorer.Scotland have not really offered much of a threat so far at Euro 2024 and McTominay gives us the best chance of doing that on Sunday, in a game we probably need to win to reach the last 16.

We bought two really good players in James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez, so that was the cover, but Scott was certainly one of the players we had a big interest in as well. But of course there is a balance to be had between his attacking and defensive play. He can do the other side of things well too and in Wednesday’s draw with Switzerland, he was given the job of picking up Granit Xhaka.

We seem to be seeing that style being bred in quite a few of their players in terms of what they have been trained to do.Maybe it is the Red Bull model to have players with brilliant energy, but it is a great thing for anyone to have.
