Scott McTominay seems to still be feeling the effects of his FA Cup final injury while on holiday. Despite playing the full 90 minutes of Manchester United’s surprising victory over Manchester City, the Scotland international was seen hobbling off the pitch in added time, later replaced by Mason Mount.
Currently enjoying a well-deserved break in Ibiza with friends, including former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick, McTominay appears to be moving cautiously. Viral footage captured him sitting poolside at a luxurious hotel on the Balearic island, where he seemed to indicate to Carrick that his right leg was still causing him discomfort.
Fans of both Manchester United and Scotland took notice, with some expressing surprise at how quickly McTominay and his companions had traveled from the UK to Spain, and others speculating about the severity of his injury. Some questioned the timing of the players’ holiday immediately after their Cup victory, suggesting it left little time for proper celebration.
Amidst these discussions, concerns also arose about McTominay’s availability for Scotland’s upcoming warm-up matches against Gibraltar and Finland, with the Euro 2024 campaign on the horizon. Scotland’s manager, Steve Clarke, will undoubtedly be monitoring McTominay’s fitness closely, considering his significant contributions during the Euro qualification matches.
As the Scottish team prepares to face the daunting challenge of their Euro group stage opener against tournament hosts Germany, McTominay’s condition remains uncertain, leaving fans and management alike with a sense of anticipation and concern.
