Scotland and Manchester United have been dealt a blow ahead of their upcoming fixtures, with midfielder Scott McTominay sidelined for surgery on his groin.
The 24-year-old is set to play a key role in United's midfielder this season, and began his season with a superb performance against Leeds United in a 5-1 victory.
However, McTominay could only manage 14 minutes of the 1-1 draw against Southampton, with United revealing the 24-year-old was struggling with the groin throughout.

'Scott has undergone surgery for an ongoing groin injury that was causing significant pain when playing,' the club wrote in a statement.
