Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay admits he looks up to Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
The pair will meet as McTominay’s Scotland faces Poland in a friendly.
“I’ve never played against him properly before,” McTominay said. “I think it was pre-season against Bayern Munich away from home, Jose Mourinho was the manager.
“But obviously, his goal record speaks for itself. He’s a phenomenal footballer.
“The way he looks after his body, it’s something I aspire to be like when I’m a bit older. You get what you put into football.
“He obviously works extremely hard at his game and looking after himself. He deserves every credit and all the success in the world for that.
“It’s what football’s about, you always want to improve. Doing things in your spare time looking to improve, looking at every detail.
“As you get older you start being more wise about your body and the way you can adapt to certain situations in football and off the pitch as well. I’m just maintaining similar to what I used to do when I was 18, 19, the gym work and the analysis work, things I’ve been really conscious of over the years.
“It’s always benefited me and it’s what I’ll continue to do.”
