Man Utd now want to sell 27y/o who played 43 games last season as PL club eye swoop – report

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is available for transfer this summer and West Ham United are interested after he was the subject of a failed bid from them last summer, according to the Times.

The Scotland international was on the radar of the Hammers last year after falling out of favour under manager Erik ten Hag heading into 2023-24.

However, a move fell through and McTominay remained with the Red Devils, establishing himself as a key player and featuring in 43 games across all competitions.

The 27-year-old weighed in with ten goals and two assists before heading to the European Championship where he bagged a strike in three appearances.

McTominay has returned to Man United for pre-season training and was seen at Carrington on Wednesday.

He remains on the transfer list from the look of things and West Ham will look to land him again.

Fulham have also been linked with the Man United academy graduate and have already seen an offer knocked back this summer.

The Craven Cottage club are expected to return with an improved bid as the Red Devils want to cash in on some of their top players to make more quality recruitment.

West Ham would be standing in their way as manager Julen Lopetegui wants to bolster his squad ahead of his debut campaign in charge of the Hammers.

The Spaniard also wants Man United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with the former Crystal Palace star also out of favour under Ten Hag going forward.

With the Netherlands international forward Joshua Zirkzee signed and Lille centre-back Leny Yoro on his way, the Red Devils are expected to sell some players to balance the books, and both McTominay and Wan-Bissaka could be on their way to West Ham if all goes according to plan, while more players could follow them out.
