McTominay injury mars Man Utd win over Brighton as midfielder hobbles off

Manchester United’s 3-1 win at home to Brighton on Sunday afternoon was marred by an injury late in the game to the increasingly influential midfielder Scott McTominay.

The 22-year-old Scotland international had earlier forced an own goal from Brighton’s Davy Propper to put United 2-0 up, with goals from Andreas Pereira and Marcus Rashford eventually helping United up to seventh in the table.

McTominay looked to be in considerable pain as he was helped from the pitch deep into stoppage time, though a stretcher which had been readied for him wasn’t used.
