Photo revealed : as Manchester United star set to miss Atletico game in the Champions league has he sustains cuts and bruises.
Scott McTominay appeared to relish
the old school battle between Manchester
United and Leeds.
The throwback fixture took place in
wet conditions with puddles across the
pitch and players sliding around.
The conditions were ready-made for midfielder
Scott McTominay, who appeared to relish
throwing himself about and going in for
every challenge.
The Scotland international did lots of the
dirty work in United’s midfield, working
tirelessly – and also it seems, playing
through the pain.
After the game McTominay showed off
a picture of his ankle, cover in cuts after
a physical 90 minutes, calling it a ‘
proper game’.
McTominay may be a little sore in the
morning but these are not likely to be
injuries which will keep him out of United’s
next fixture.
There is however a real selection dilemma
ahead for manager Ralf Rangnick heading
into the clash with Atletico Madrid.
Both Fred and Paul Pogba have been stating
their cases for selection in midfield, and
McTominay has been a near ever
present under Rangnick.
McTominay was a little fortunate not
to be sent off in the win, having walked
a real tightrope in the second half after
a couple of late challenges. Thankfully
there was a little leniency from the referee.
He won three tackles and made two interceptions
, while also coming off better in an
early clash of heads with German defender
Robin Koch, who required stitches.
On a day where United needed the players
to dig in and fight, McTominay proved
up to the task, with the team’s skillful
players doing the business in the final third.
