AliousManchester United are prioritizing midfield additions this summer before contemplating offers for Scott McTominay, who has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including West Ham, according to sources close to Football Insider.
The outlet reported earlier this week that United aren’t in a hurry to sell McTominay, despite attention from other top-flight teams.
The 27-year-old Scottish international’s future at Old Trafford remains undecided following a season where he gained Erik ten Hag’s confidence.
Fulham, West Ham, Newcastle United, and Southampton are all reportedly interested in McTominay, who recently participated in the European Championships in Germany.
These clubs are awaiting signals from United regarding the midfielder’s availability for transfer during the remaining summer window.
McTominay’s contract with United runs for another year, with the club holding an option to extend it by an additional 12 months.
Sources indicate that United’s current focus is on offloading high-wage earner Casemiro, with a move to the Saudi Pro League seeming the only viable option at present.
Last season, McTominay featured in 43 matches across all competitions for United, starting in 27.
He contributed 10 goals and 3 assists as the team finished seventh in the Premier League and clinched the FA Cup, securing a Europa League spot.
Having made his senior debut for United in 2017, McTominay has now amassed 252 appearances for his boyhood club.
The interested clubs are now waiting on United’s decision, which appears to be contingent on their success in strengthening their midfield this summer.
