Man Utd star snubs one exit with third bid to come from Premier League suitors

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has decided he will not be making a move to one specific league this summer.

McTominay proved himself to be a surprise goal threat for Erik ten Hag last season, finding the back of the net 10 times in 43 games. The Scotland international played an important role in keeping Ten Hag in his job, while he also knows exactly what it means to represent Man Utd, having been born in Lancaster and come through the club’s academy.

However, Man Utd are keen to engineer a midfield overhaul this summer, and club chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows that selling McTominay will give him a better chance of capturing Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.

McTominay has been linked with moves to Fulham, Napoli, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in recent weeks.

Reports in Italy have claimed that the 27-year-old has told Napoli chiefs he would like to join their ranks, while Fulham have so far failed with two offers to capture him.

Fulham’s second, improved bid for McTominay came in at £20million, but it was rejected as Man Utd hold out for closer to £30m.
