Scott McTominay back in Manchester United training ahead of Manchester derby

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has returned to training ahead of Ralf Rangnick's side's clash with rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

The 25-year-old was absent from the Red Devils' squad for the fixtures against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and Watford domestically.

Rangnick confirmed that McTominay was forced to sit out of the match at the Wanda Metropolitano last week due to illness, and he did not recover in time for their outing against the Hornets.

However, Manchester Evening News reports that the Scotland international has been pictured in training at Man United's Carrington base ahead of their crucial derby against Pep Guardiola's side.

The Red Devils have been victorious in their last three visits to the Etihad, and they will want to gain revenge on the Citizens after Man City claimed a 2-0 win at Old Trafford earlier this season.

McTominay has been a regular member of Man United's team this campaign, featuring 23 times in the Premier League, only missing four games.
