Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Scott McTominay is "close" to a return to action, although the midfielder won't be fit in time to face Wolves this afternoon.
McTominay has missed the last eight games after picking up an injury following the 2-0 win over Everton. It was unfortunate timing for the midfielder, who had opened the scoring against the Toffees.
The Scot provided an encouraging update before United's defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion, posting an image on social media alongside the caption: "Soon." Ten Hag has now confirmed that the 26-year-old is closing in on a return to action.
