Fulham Football Club has initiated contact with Manchester United regarding the potential signing of Scott McTominay. This move comes as Fulham considers options to potentially replace Joao Palhinha, who appears to be on the verge of joining Bayern Munich. Current talks are underway for the Portuguese midfielder’s transfer to the German club.
Throughout the summer, Manchester United has remained open to the possibility of McTominay’s departure. However, as of now, the club is yet to receive a bid that aligns with their valuation. Sources suggest that United would entertain an offer of approximately £35 million for the Scottish midfielder.
Fulham Make Contact For McTominay:
Sky Sports News’ Dharmesh Sheth reports that Fulham has taken the initial step of making contact with Manchester United about the prospect of acquiring Scott McTominay.
Fulham’s swift action is prompted by the potential exit of Joao Palhinha. The club is seemingly exploring the feasibility of securing McTominay’s services as part of their contingency planning.
Considering Manchester United’s position, the sale of McTominay would likely necessitate securing a suitable replacement. While United is actively pursuing a deal for Sofyan Amrabat, offloading McTominay would mandate the acquisition of another midfielder.
Among potential midfield targets, Ryan Gravenberch has attracted interest from United. However, the club has prioritized their pursuit of Amrabat, who is poised to join Liverpool.
This decision presents Manchester United with a challenging scenario, as Fulham demonstrates genuine interest in Scott McTominay as they consider their options in light of the potential departure of Joao Palhinha.
