SCOTT McTOMINAY has set his sights set on winning silverware with Manchester United as he edges closer to a return from injury.

The Scotland midfielder has praised Uniteds medical staff, with their support particularly appreciated when feeling a little down in the dumps because you cant play as he recovers from a knee problem.

And mental strength has helped him kick on ahead of schedule and McTominay (pictured) is even eyeing a trophy double as United are still in the FA Cup and Europa League despite sitting eighth in the top flight.

It would be nice to come back and have a massive push with the rest of the boys to get into some finals, get some trophies under our belts and set the bar for next season, set a bar we dont step underneath, he said. All the boys are fully focused on doing that.

One of few shining lights in a challenging start to the season, the ever-improving 23-year-old has been sidelined since Boxing Day.

Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expected McTominay to be out until early next month with the problem and he is stepping up his recovery during Uniteds training camp in Spain.

He started the trip to Marbella doing work away from the group with team-mate Axel Tuanzebe but hopes to join in the main session by the end of the week as he closes in on a return to action.

It has been going well, McTominay added on his recovery process.

Obviously, it is never nice watching matches when you have been playing, you want to be involved and you want to be helping the team as well.

It is difficult but you have to find your way through it mentally more than physically sometimes. It is challenging.

You really need to have all of the right people around you, which I do, and that has been massively beneficial towards my recovery.

I want to be taking some part in the sessions towards the end of the week.

In the brief moments that I have seen him in training, he has looked really, really good. I cant wait to play alongside him Scott McTominay is impressed with what he has seen of deadline-day signing Bruno Fernandes in a United shirt
