I don&#8217;t know in this moment to return [against Crystal Palace next month],&#8221; Ten Hag was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutd.com\/en\/news\/detail\/scott-mctominay-injury-update-after-draw-with-burnley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quoted as saying<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s a little bit too quick turnaround. You have seen he has a problem. We have to diagnose this and see what it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5>Big blow for both United and Scotland<\/h5>\n<p>It is no secret that McTominay&#8217;s goals have been <a href=\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/2024\/02\/12\/scott-mctominay-is-the-most-impactful-player-in-the-premier-league-275962\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worth 12 extra points<\/a> for the Red Devils and with the FA Cup final coming up, he could be a huge miss. He is even more crucial for Scotland who are gearing up for this summer&#8217;s European Championships.<\/p>\n<p>As many as nine key players are missing for United and injuries have played a key role in a disastrous season for the club and the manager.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag will be hoping to get back McTominay before the Wembley showpiece event due to his knack for coming up with crucial goals.<\/p>\n<p>The player&#8217;s future, however, remains uncertain. There have been rumours of a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/2024\/04\/17\/ineos-open-to-selling-scott-mctominay-in-the-summer-278997\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">possible sale<\/a> while other reports have indicated INEOS&#8217; desire to keep the academy graduate and <a href=\"https:\/\/thepeoplesperson.com\/2024\/03\/23\/scott-mctominay-set-to-double-his-wages-after-sir-jim-ratcliffe-takes-contract-decision-277933\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offer him a new deal<\/a> on improved terms.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Want to be the first to hear breaking Man United news?
