But it could've been a lot worse for the 23-year-old as he lunged in with his studs showing.
McTominay was saved by the fact that his challenge was so mistimed that the eventual contact was minimal.
Newcastle players surrounded the referee Kevin Friend, who brandished a yellow card for the Red Devils midfielder.
McTominay also avoided a second yellow card in the 26th minute when he brought down Miguel Almiron and stopped a Newcastle counter-attack.

Manchester United came from a goal down to thrash Newcastle 4-1 at Old Trafford.
Matty Longstaff, who scored the winner when the sides played in October, stunned Old Trafford with his early goal to give Steve Bruce's team the lead.
But Manchester United hit back in style to lead 3-1 at the break with a brilliant comeback.
Anthony Martial levelled the scores in the 24th minute before Mason Greenwood lashed home to give the Red Devils the lead.
Marcus Rashford's strike in the 41st minute gave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side breathing room going into half-time.
Martial grabbed his second goal in the 51st minute as Manchester United moved within four points of fourth-placed Chelsea.
