Scott McTominay: Man United receive second bid for midfielder

Manchester United have been presented with a second bid from Fulham for midfielder Scott McTominay, reportedly valued at £20 million.

It is expected that United will reject this offer, as the future of the Scotland international remains uncertain following West Ham’s interest last summer.

Manager Erik ten Hag, speaking on the club’s pre-season tour in the United States, expressed his satisfaction with McTominay’s performance but refrained from confirming whether the 27-year-old will stay at Old Trafford.

“I am so pleased with the performance of Scott and so pleased to have him in my squad,” Ten Hag remarked. “Scott has a huge impact on team performances with his spirit, and playing in the advanced position, he is so important.”

United are actively seeking to generate funds for new acquisitions, exacerbated by recent injuries to defender Leny Yoro, who is set to be sidelined for three months, and striker Rasmus Hojlund.

McTominay, who made 32 Premier League appearances last season—14 as a substitute—and started the FA Cup final against Manchester City, is keen to secure a regular first-team role.

In their recent 3-2 pre-season victory over Real Betis in San Diego, McTominay played in the number 10 role.

With Bruno Fernandes yet to join the main training group following Euro 2024 and ongoing fitness concerns for Mason Mount, alongside Casemiro’s continued presence despite speculation of a summer move to the Saudi Pro-League, McTominay’s future at United remains fluid.

As Manchester United look to balance their squad and financial needs, McTominay’s potential departure could hinge on the club’s strategic decisions in the coming weeks.
