Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is bringing the club back to it's roots.

United's 4-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday featured a starting XI with an average age of 24 years and 227 days - the youngest average of any of the 20 teams in the opening weekend.

"Experience is important, but young players are hungry," McTominay said.

"Because somebody's played more doesn't mean they'll get ahead of you."

McTominay, 22, was one of six starters under the age of 25, while 28-year-old goalkeeper David de Gea was the oldest in the line-up.
