Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Scott McTominay is still at least two weeks away from returning from an ankle injury.
The 22-year-old picked up the problem in the closing stages of the 3-1 win over Brighton before the international break, and it seems he could be out until the Manchester derby on December 7th.
Fans on Twitter are frustrated with this latest injury setback:

One piece of good news for United is that Nemanja Matic is back in contention to play this weekend after recovering from a knock that has kept him out of action since earlier October.
Still, McTominay’s injury will come as a blow to Solskjaer, who has relied on the Scottish international’s energy and mobility in the centre of the pitch since the beginning of the season.
The midfielder has started all twelve league games so far this campaign, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
