The midfielder was heartbroken on Thursday night, and his howitzer came days after a last-gasp double for his club.
Scott McTominay is the embodiment of Man United spirit from happier times - and it could just spark their season.
Erik ten Hag's side have had a tricky start to the season, amid inconsistent form and off the field issues. It looked as if they were heading into the international break off a 1-0 Premier League defeat to Brentford before the Scotland international - who has found minutes hard to come by under Ten Hag this term - rose from the bench to score a stoppage-time double.
He thought similar goal joy had found him with a super free-kick midweek for Scotland but it was cruelly ruled out by VAR in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain. The hosts in Seville went on to win 2-0. Former Chelsea and Aston Villa man Sidwell reckons McTominay's double was a throwback to the late showing Man United were famed for under the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. And it could put a rocket under their campaign.
The former midfielder told Sky Sports: "I was delighted for Scott McTominay as he is a product of what Man United is all about. Coming through the ranks... we talk about Fergie Time, going to the very end and not giving up, epitomises everything to do with it. "There's so much going on within that team, that squad, off field scenarios as well, that it shouldn't be happening at Manchester United. It's taking it onto the pitch as well. This could just be the little kick of the backside that could get them going.
