McTominay was substituted at halftime against Newcastle United.
Now Manchester United are waiting to find out the severity of the knee injury.
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was hurt in the early stages of the Boxing Day fixture at Old Trafford, though stayed on for the remainder of the first half. Now Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes he may have suffered a knee ligament injury.
The Scotland international was replaced by Paul Pogba at the interval and was seen leaving the ground on crutches, a worrying sight for the Red Devils amid a busy festive period of fixtures. Solskjaer has not yet ruled McTominay, who was a shown yellow card after 24 seconds for a foul on Sean Longstaff, out of contention for Saturday’s trip to Burnley, while he also praised the player for playing on through the pain.
“He has injured the ligament in his knee, probably. We don’t know how bad it is, so let’s see,” Solskjaer told the media. “The boy has got the biggest heart of the lot. He played until half-time but we know when they stiffen up after. We will have to find out tomorrow, how he is.
“You see the attitude of the kid, of everyone, in the beginning of the game. I am not sure if he will be ready for Saturday [against Burnley]. Probably not, but we have seen him recover before.”
