Man United Exclusive: Significant Scott McTominay update tonight

Man United are in no rush to sell midfield star Scott McTominay despite big reported interest from Premier League rivals, sources have told Football Insider.

The 27-year-old was trusted by United boss Erik ten Hag in the 2023-24 campaign despite strong rumours linking him with a move away from Old Trafford last summer.

It has again been widely reported that McTominay is a target for other top-flight clubs, with Fulham, West Ham, Newcastle United and Southampton all linked.

But Man United are in no rush to allow the Scotland international to leave early this summer with their own transfer plans still under development.

Sporting director Dan Ashworth has been installed in recent days following a drawn-out compensation battle with Newcastle and is now working closely with Ten Hag and other transfer chiefs.

McTominay made 43 appearances across all competitions for United in the 2023-24 campaign, starting in 27 of those outings.

He notched 10 goals and three assists as the Red Devils won the FA Cup last term.

The 53-cap Scotland star is under contract at Old Trafford until June 2025, with United holding the option to extend that deal a further 12 months.

McTominay, who primarily plays as a defensive midfielder but can also star at centre-back and in a more advanced role, graduated from the Red Devils’ academy and made his debut in 2017.

He has played 252 times for his boyhood club, with 176 of those appearances coming in the Premier League.
