McTominay In Line To Make Comeback Against Watford, Says Solskjaer

By Daily Sports on February 22, 2020

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said Scott McTominay is in line to make his comeback from injury against Watford.

The midfielder, 23, has not played since damaging knee ligaments in the win over Newcastle on Boxing Day, but is set to return ahead of schedule at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"I think he might be in the squad," Solskjaer said.

"He had a rest day [on Thursday], so let's see how he is. I'm not surprised [how quickly he has returned], because that's the type he is.

"He's a physical specimen. He's a leader, he never shirks a tackle and he brings everyone with him."

United face Watford, second bottom in the Premier League, on the back of a five-game unbeaten run following the 1-1 draw with Club Brugge on Thursday.

As well as McTominay, youngsters Tahith Chong and Angel Gomes could earn recalls to the first-team squad after playing in a youth friendly against Club Brugge on Thursday. (ESPN)
