Having tried all other treatment options in pre-season, surgery was deemed necessary to resolve the issue. We hope to have him back soon.” McTominay started United’s opening match of the season, the 5-1 win against Leeds, but he was restricted to a cameo role in their 1-1 draw at Southampton last weekend. The 24-year-old midfielder expressed frustration at missing the upcoming Premier League match at Molineux and Scotland’s fixtures with Denmark, Moldova and Austria but he promised to be back soon. He said on Instagram: “Just to let you all know I’ve had minor surgery on an issue which has needed managing for the last couple of months. I hate missing games so to be missing Wolves on the weekend and the international break is so disappointing but that’s part and parcel of the game. Wishing all the boys the best of luck and I will be back sooner than you think.”
