Manchester United suffer Scott McTominay blow ahead of Sevilla tie

Scott McTominay has been ruled out of Manchester United's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla through injury.

McTominay did not train with the rest of the United squad on Wednesday afternoon but club sources say his injury is not too serious.

The 26-year-old scored United's opening goal in the 2-0 defeat of Everton on Saturday in what was McTominay's fourth consecutive start.

He also struck four goals in two games for Scotland in their European Championship qualifying wins over Cyprus and Spain last month. The absence of McTominay is offset by the returns of Casemiro, who has served his four-match domestic suspension, and the fit-again Christian Eriksen.

Eriksen came on in the second half against Everton for his first appearance in 10 weeks, having recovered from an ankle injury sooner than expected.

United will be without Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Alejandro Garnacho against Sevilla, as well as long-term absentee Donny van de Beek. Tom Heaton is also still out with a foot injury.

Rashford will be missing for "a few games", although United are being vague about the extent of his apparent groin injury. Garnacho has been sidelined since March 12 with an ankle injury and Shaw was forced off in the first half of the win against Brentford last Wednesday.
