McTominay out for a month

In the end, Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer's bad feeling about Scott McTominay's condition was a little less than the Norwegian expected after the match against Newcastle.

The Scotsman was taken off injured in the Boxing Day match and the manager announced in the Burnley post-match press conference that McTominay would be out for 3-4 weeks.

The Old Trafford midfield is one of Solskjaer's unfinished business along with the defence and perhaps the return of Paul Pogba can camouflage the youngster's absence.

The 'Red Devils' have won 3 of their last 4 matches, a performance level that is bit by bit getting them closer to the Champions League spots.
