Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay could return for the first time in two months against Watford at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Scotland midfielder has been out of action since suffering a knee injury against Newcastle on Boxing Day.

McTominay's absence has hit United even harder because it has coincided with Paul Pogba's prolonged injury lay-off.

"I think he might be in the squad," said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after United's 1-1 Europa League draw in Bruges. "He had a rest day today so let's see how he is tomorrow.

"He's a physical specimen. He's a leader, he never shirks a tackle and he brings everyone with him. He can sit with Nemanja or Fred, or he can be one of the runners in midfield.

"We were talking about that today, that we don't have that many runs past the striker. He used to be a striker before so he's used to being in the box."
