Manchester United and Scotland star Scott McTominay has managed to make a quickfire return from injury.
It was confirmed last week by Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that the Scotland star had picked up a knock. But, thankfully, it isn’t a serious one.
McTominay made the starting XI for Manchester United as they were beaten 3-1 by PSG. A Neymar double helped inspire the French champions to a Champions League win.
The Brazillian was firmly in the sights of McTominay. Neymar grabbed McTominay in a ‘gentle’ area during this match, leaving the Scotsman perplexed before sharing words with the PSG star at half-time.
Solskjaer was pleased with how McTominay handled the situation: “I don’t want to comment on opposition players. My players know my values.
“I want honest players. Scotty could have gone down when Neymar grabs his gentle parts but I don’t want them to do that.”
Overall it’s a boost for Steve Clarke, with Scotland’s Euro 2020 campaign to come next year. Given the demands of the domestic calendar this season, Clarke will be watching through his fingers if men of his men even suffer a slight knock.
Manchester United fans were pleased about McTominay’s return, and his role in aggravating marmite man Neymar.
