And Scotland midfielder McTominay has shown he has the speed and stamina in the engine room by coming out on top.
McTominay‘s team-mate Dan James revealed: “A lot of the boys are going outside, doing runs and sending them in. It’s a competition to get the best 5k time.
”It’s been good, nice and competitive still.
“Scott is winning at the moment and I don’t think anyone is going to top it.”
James, 22, has been a smash hit at Old Trafford since his £15million move from Championship outfit Swansea last summer.
The rapid Welshman has scored three goals and assisted seven times in 27 Premier League games this season.
But James has no plans to rest on his laurels by doing homework while the league is suspended to become an even better player.
