Man United transfer news: Red Devils ‘receive’ improved midfielder bid from Fulham

Manchester United have reportedly received a £20m offer from Fulham for midfielder Scott McTominay.

The 27-year-old is attracting plenty of interest from across the European scene after an impressive season for the Red Devils during the 2023-24 term.

McTominay hit double figures in goals for the first time in a single season during his professional career to date, netting some important strikes in the Premier League.

The midfielder has spent the majority of the summer on international duty with Scotland at Euro 2024 in Germany, where the Tartan Army were gunning for continental success.

Despite scoring in the draw with Switzerland, McTominay was unable to guide Steve Clarke‘s side to the knockout stages of the competition.

Man United receive improved Fulham offer for McTominay?

McTominay’s long-term stay at the Theatre of Dreams could be coming to an end before the conclusion of the summer window.

The report claims that fellow Premier League side Fulham have submitted an improved offer for the 27-year-old after their initial bid was rejected.

It is understood that the Cottagers have tabelled a fee of £20m, with the Red Devils now considering whether or not to accept such terms.

Alongside Marco Silva‘s side, it is believed that Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are also keen on a move for the Scotland international.

The former of those Super Lig sides supposedly submitted a bid of £12.6m for McTominay, who has never played outside of England in his professional career.

Does McTominay have a future at Old Trafford?

After scoring 10 goals and providing three assists from midfield for Man United during the 2023-24 term, it would arguably be smart for the Red Devils to keep hold of McTominay.

Head coach Erik ten Hag has openly expressed his desire to retain the services of the 27-year-old, with the Dutchman understanding why the midfielder is receiving plenty of interest.

However, with the 52-time international having just a single year left on his deal at Old Trafford, this could be a good time for the club to cash in on the player.

That being said, the possible departure of McTominay would leave Man United short in the engine room ahead of a possible Casemiro exit this summer.
