Manchester United has received a second bid from Fulham, reportedly worth £20 million, for midfielder Scott McTominay. The club is expected to reject this offer, but uncertainty surrounds the future of the Scotland international after West Ham attempted to sign him last summer.
The situation at Old Trafford is pressing as the club seeks to raise funds to acquire new players. This urgency is exacerbated by injuries to defender Leny Yoro, who is anticipated to miss three months, and striker Rasmus Hojlund.
As McTominay approaches the prime years of his career, he aims to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. The 27-year-old made 32 Premier League appearances for United last season, although 14 of those came from the bench. He did, however, start in the FA Cup final, where United triumphed over Manchester City at Wembley.
In the recent pre-season match against Real Betis in San Diego, McTominay played in the number 10 role. With Bruno Fernandes still awaiting the main training group following his participation in Euro 2024, and Mason Mount striving to maintain fitness, there is potential for a deal to be reached for McTominay. This possibility remains, especially with Casemiro still at the club despite speculation regarding a summer transfer to the Saudi Pro League.
