Fantastic news for Manchester United fans as Scott McTominay gives huge injury update | OneFootball

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has revealed that the injury he picked up against Burnley is nothing serious and he’s hoping to make a return to action as soon as possible.

United were held to a 1-1 draw by the Clarets on Saturday at Old Trafford.

Antony gave the Red Devils the lead in the 79th minute but as has been the case for large parts of the campaign, the team could not hold on and surrendered their advantage soon after.

Andre Onana was judged to have wiped out a Burnley player and a penalty was awarded to the visiting side. Zeke Amdouni made no mistake from the spot-kick to ensure the spoils were shared.

Beyond the result, the other thing that raised concerns among the fanbase was McTominay’s injury. He was brought on by Ten Hag in the second half to try and make a difference but he didn’t finish the match.

The Scotland international hobbled off in pain during injury time with what seemed like a knock.

After the game, Ten Hag spoke to reporters and said, “We have to assess this, to set the diagnosis. I don’t know in this moment to return [against Crystal Palace next month], I think it’s a little bit too quick turnaround.”

“You have seen he has a problem. We have to diagnose this and see what it is.”

A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that there were fears McTominay would miss United’s next Premier League clash against the in-form Crystal Palace at Selhurst Palace.

The Carrington academy has taken to social media and given a massive update on his fitness.

The midfielder wrote on Instagram, “I slipped and fell awkward on my knee similar to against Chelsea.”

“Nothing serious just hyperextension but I was angry and upset that I thought it was worse than it was.”

He added, “Hoping to be back on the pitch very soon to help the team as much as I can.”

The news will come as a huge relief to all United fans, Ten Hag and his coaching staff, who have had to deal with several key players missing multiple games this term due to physical setbacks.
