Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an update on Scott McTominaay’s knee injury confessing that the midfielder might be out of action for up to a month.

 McTominay left Old Trafford on sticks after Manchester United’s overwhelming 4-1 victory over Newcastle with Solskjaer confirming the problem was knee-related. Football fans can book Premier League Football Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

Supporters feared that the 23-year-old could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines but his manager has allayed those fears and confirmed that it will be weeks rather than months.

Red Devils have suffered a blow with midfielder Scott McTominay reportedly set to be out for up to eight weeks.

McTominay, who has been one of Manchester United’s most consistent players this season, sustained a knee injury in the Red Devils’ win over Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had hoped McTominay’s injury would not sideline him for more than four weeks.

Manchester United Medical Staff report

However, Manchester United’s medical staff has said the 23-year-old could be out for up to eight weeks after scans confirmed injured knee ligaments according to the Daily Mail.

That would rule the Scotland international out of Man Utd’s two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City as well as the visit to Anfield to face runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool on January 19.

Nemanja Matic stood in for his club-mate in Man Utd’s win at Burnley on Saturday and McTominay’s injury could offer him a chance to impress, with the Serb having been linked with a move away from Old Trafford after limited playing time under Solskjaer.

Paul Pogba was also missing from Manchester United’s midfield on Saturday after complaining of a reaction to a foot injury that had kept him out for three months before the Newcastle game.

Solskjaer Saying about Manchester United central midfielder

Solskjaer said: “I would not expect him to be back in the next couple of weeks. I do not think we will see him.

“He has proven before that if you give him three weeks he is back in two. So, I do not know.

It might be three or four weeks. We have just got to find a way through it.”

Man Utd has received some good news, though, after Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola said the World Cup winner would not leave Man Utd in January.

Yet speaking on Monday, Raiola said: I do not think it is fair on the boys at all, he said. I do not think it is fair to be expected to perform at the top of your level both mentally and physically 48 hours after you have played.

Two games in three days are possible just once in a while but not when it is as tight as this. But I’m captivated with everybody in the dressing room and the way they have all looked after themselves.

That is why they could stay at home last night. There was no fact of residing in a hotel because I trust them.
