Man Utd coach Erik ten Hag gives update on Scott McTominay's injury after he was substituted during game against Burnley.

During the 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Burnley, Scott McTominay unfortunately suffered a knee injury which forced him to be substituted late in the game. This has left both the club and the Scottish national team anxiously waiting for updates on the extent of his injury.
McTominay, who was not fit enough to start the game due to a knock he received in the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City last week, came off the bench after 65 minutes. However, shortly after Burnley's equaliser, he suffered an injury that left him in excruciating pain and had to be tended to by the club's physio on the field.
With the help of the physio, McTominay was able to limp off the pitch, with Mason Mount coming on to replace him in the final minutes of the match. Unfortunately, the substitution did not result in any further points for United.
After the game, coach ten Hag was asked about McTominay's condition and he stated that they would have to assess the injury with the doctors as he was unsure of the diagnosis at the moment.
This injury comes at a crucial time for McTominay as it could potentially rule him out for the rest of the season, with only four league games left and a FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 25th. It also raises concerns for Scotland, as McTominay's presence will be missed in their upcoming Euro 2024 campaign, with their first game against Germany on June 14th. The midfielder has played a significant role in helping his country qualify for the tournament, scoring seven goals.
Before the game, ten Hag had mentioned that McTominay was not at 100% and could only play for about 30 minutes, as he had also come off the bench in the midweek game against Sheffield United for the final 25 minutes. This injury will be a setback for United, as McTominay has been a key player for them this season, scoring 10 goals and being their third-highest goal scorer behind Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund.
Injuries have been a recurring issue for United this season, with several players currently sidelined. Coach ten Hag mentioned that some of them may return in the coming weeks, but they will have to be cautious with their return to team training, as they have had a longer period off. This will be a crucial factor in the last remaining games of the season, as having more players available will provide the team with more options during the game.
