Man Utd player 'undecided' on future amid transfer interest in £27m-rated ace

Manchester United are in ‘no rush’ to sell Scott McTominay this summer amid interest from elsewhere, according to TEAMtalk. The report suggests the player is ‘undecided’ on his future right now and ‘could stay’ and fight for his place next season, despite his uncertain contractual situation.

The Scotland international, who is 27-years-old, was at Euro 2024 in Germany but his country weren’t able to get out of the group in the end. He has since returned to Old Trafford for pre-season but has been heavily linked with an exit before the end of the window later this month.

McTominay’s contract at United expires in June 2025 and they risk losing him for free in 12 months time if they don’t cash in on him now or in January, assuming he doesn’t pen an extension anytime soon. He is on the radar of fellow Premier League sides Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, as well as Turkish giants Galatasaray.

Speaking after a recent friendly against Real Betis, Ten Hag said: “I am so pleased with the performance of Scott McTominay. I am so pleased to have him in my squad, the type of person, such a huge impact on the team, team performances, team spirit. And he is playing more in the advanced position that suits him better. He is so important to making goals in my team. I am very happy to have him in my squad."

McTominay is a product of the Red Devils’ academy and has played 252 games for them altogether to date and has found the net on 29 occasions, 10 of which came last term from midfield. He is valued at £27million on Transfermarkt. It could be risk to let him leave over the coming weeks, especially to a team in the same league, and if nobody comes in to replace him. PSG’s Manuel Ugarte has been linked recently but it remains to be seen if they will be able to get him.

McTominay proved in the last campaign that he has an eye for goal and can still be a useful asset for United. He has risen up through their ranks and has never played for anyone else. If he was to join Fulham, he would become one of their key players and would get guaranteed regular minutes. However, at Spurs, he may have to battle for a place like he does with his current club.

Galatasaray would be an interesting proposition for him and play Champions League. They have brought in Gabriel Sara from Norwich City in his position though so might not need another central midfielder.

The Istanbul outfit won the Super Lig ahead of Fenerbahce last year. Their rivals have since turned to former United manager Jose Mourinho as they look to pip them to top spot.

United’s first game of 2024/25 is coincidentally against Fulham. They have to play Manchester City in the Community Shield next weekend first as they look to pick up their first bit of silverware of the season.
