Fulham is making a strong push to sign Scott McTominay from Manchester United, increasing their bid to £20 million in hopes of securing a deal. The initial offer of £15 million was rejected by United, who are holding out for a fee between £25 million and £30 million. Turkish club Galatasaray also expressed interest in McTominay but had their £12 million offer turned down. Additionally, the midfielder has been linked with potential moves to West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur in the past.
McTominay, 27, had a solid performance last season, featuring in 32 Premier League matches and scoring seven goals. He recently made his first appearance for Manchester United in the pre-season win against Real Betis after representing Scotland in the disappointing Euro 2024 campaign.
However, the match against Real Betis also brought some concerns for Manchester United, as both Marcus Rashford and Antony suffered injuries. Manager Erik ten Hag will be keeping a close eye on the situation, especially with the recent losses of Rasmus Hojlund and new signing Leny Yoro to long-term injuries. This could open up an opportunity for Joshua Zirkzee, who joined the club from Bologna and will now have a chance to prove himself.
Furthermore, ten Hag is eager to strengthen his squad before the summer transfer window closes. The potential arrival of Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui is imminent, as Aaron Wan-Bissaka has completed his move away from Manchester United. Wan-Bissaka is expected to join West Ham in a deal worth over £10 million, after failing to secure the signing of Mazraoui.
As Manchester United continues to navigate the transfer market, fans eagerly await updates on potential new signings and departures. The club’s transfer activity will play a significant role in shaping their squad for the upcoming season.
