Scott McTominay, the Scottish midfielder for Manchester United, has been valued at £50 million by the club as Newcastle United considers making a move for him this summer. Despite having made over 200 appearances for his boyhood club, McTominay has mostly been used from the bench and could be given a more central role at Newcastle. The Magpies have transformed their fortunes since their Saudi-backed takeover and are now Champions League contenders. Eddie Howe, the team’s manager, is keen to continue bolstering his squad this summer and has identified McTominay as a target. However, Manchester United is in no rush to sell the 26-year-old and has made it clear that he is still viewed as a valuable member of Erik ten Hag’s squad.
McTominay scored his 19th goal for Manchester United in their 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday. He is under contract until the summer of 2025 and believes he can become a key player for Ten Hag, who helped Manchester United beat Newcastle in the EFL Cup final earlier this season. However, former England midfielder Danny Murphy believes McTominay should consider leaving Old Trafford and says a move to St James’ Park would make sense. Murphy praised McTominay’s athleticism, work ethic, and ability to spot danger, saying he would be a “super signing” for Newcastle.
Manchester United has warned potential suitors that they will need to cough up at least £50 million to lure McTominay away from the Theatre of Dreams. The club has made it clear to McTominay that he is still viewed as a valuable member of the squad, and they are in no rush to sell him. McTominay has largely been used from the bench at Manchester United, but he could be handed a more central role at Newcastle. The Magpies are hoping to compete in the Champions League and need more numbers in midfield to do so.
