However, he could be surplus to requirements under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
McTominay started the FA Cup third round victory over Reading at Old Trafford. But his only action in the league under the United caretaker coach came against Spurs last Sunday when he was introduced as a late substitute.

He's a fantastic talent, but there's nothing more to say."There were also reports earlier this week that Solskjaer is prepared to let Marouane Fellaini, another Mourinho favourite, leave the club.
