The Red Devils' starlet turned up in Wednesday night's encounter despite his team conceding in an early stage.

Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final clash between Manchester United and Barcelona might have been short of the spectacle it was promised to be but a few players could lift their heads up high for their input in the night's encounter.

One of such is Red Devils starlet Scott McTominay whose performance in his side's 1-0 loss at Old Trafford has attracted massive plaudits across his club's fanbase and beyond. In a game where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to resort to a makeshift lineup devoid of the usual midfield duo of Herrera and Matic, the 22-year-old academy graduate stepped up to produce what seems like his best-ever performance since his senior debut.

Featuring alongside Fred and Paul Pogba, the Scottish international gave Manchester United an edge in a midfield battle involving Barca's Arthur, Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Ramos. To reinforce his influence, Statman Dave has revealed that McTominay won 100 percent aerial duels and tackles, recorded an 80 percent pass accuracy, registered five ball recoveries and completed two out of three take-ons.

The young midfielder has since been hailed on social media for his stellar performance alongside Barcelona's Gerard Pique. The latter also proved solid at the back for the Blaugrana and marred the chances of his former side securing a vital home goal in his return to Old Trafford after 11 years.

Here is what fans had to say about McTominay's performance:
