The future of Scott McTominay at Old Trafford is uncertain at the moment as we enter the final two weeks of the transfer market.
The Scotland international is entering his final year with Manchester United, which marks the club’s final chance at selling the star unless they decide to renew his contract.
Already this summer, sporting director Dan Ashworth and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have highlighted McTominay as a player they’re happy to sell to generate more transfer funds.
Despite being knocked out of Euro 2024 in he group stages with Scotland, the midfielder had a really strong showing, playing all three group matches and grabbing one of Scotland’s two goals in the tournament.
This set of performances came off the back of his career best scoring season, grabbing 10 goals and three assists in 43 games.
With such strong performances, McTominay is one of United’s most sellable assets. However, Erik ten Hag has been impressed by his pre-season showing, which may make the Dutch manager reluctant to part ways with the 27-year-old.
European interest in McTominay
The Athletic have now reported that a whole host of other clubs have also been impressed by his recent performances, with interest coming from across Europe.
Previously we’ve been aware of interest close to home with Fulham and Spurs being keen to sign the midfielder.
It was also reported previously that Everton have an interest in the 27-year-old, with Galatasaray also interested, going so far as agreeing personal terms with McTominay.
Now however, the list has received a bit of a shake up, with some new big hitters entering the fold.
The Athletic have explained that United are looking for bids in the region of £25 million, with several clubs strongly considering the option.
Fulham, Everton and Galatasaray remain in consideration for the the star, however Spurs have pulled away from any pursuit.
In their place, Brentford, Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce and Serie A giants Napoli have joined the the other three in looking to the Scotland international for reinforcement.
At this time, Galatasaray is the only club that we’re aware of with McTominay agreeing personal terms, however it’s been reported that McTominay is only interested in a move if it is the right club.
If United do make a sale of the 27-year-old this summer, as a product of the Manchester United academy, his transfer fee will count as pure profit under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, supporting United’s financial situation and transfer budget.
