Birmingham manager Lee Bowyer claimed that the 21-year-old went down during a session with no-one near him.
United confirmed on their official website: 'Tahith has undergone surgery to repair a ruptured thigh tendon, the operation went well, and he will return to Manchester United to complete an expected four to five month rehabilitation.
