Transfer News: Man Utd reveal McTominay asking price

Galatasaray have reportedly had a bid for the Scotland midfielder rejected with Manchester United said to want a higher offer.

Manchester United have reportedly rejected a €15 million bid from Galatasaray for midfielder Scott McTominay, as the Scotland international remains part of Erik ten Hag's plans despite interest from multiple clubs.

McTominay’s Man Utd future

While the Red Devils are open to selling McTominay, they value him at around €30 million, even if The Sun state a deal could be reached at €20 million. The club is currently focused on strengthening other areas of the squad, including midfield, with the likes of Manuel Ugarte a potential target.

"Galatasaray have submitted an offer of €15m to Manchester United. Manchester United, on the other hand, wanted €30m," said Turkish reporter Ali Naci Kucuk, speaking to Raydo Gol.

"If Manchester United don't get the offers they want, McTominay could go to Galatasaray for €20m.”

Despite speculation linking him with a move away, McTominay could still have a significant role to play at Old Trafford next season. However, regular first-team football may be difficult to come by if the club successfully brings in additional midfield reinforcements.

Fulham have also expressed interest in the Scottish midfielder, having previously seen a £17 million bid rejected.

What comes next?

McTominay played 32 times in the Premier League last season, starting 18 for the Red Devils and scoring seven goals in the 2023-24 campaign. 

The Red Devils are on tour in the United States, where they recently lost to Arsenal. Manchester United face Real Betis on Thursday in their next match before taking on Liverpool on August 4 prior to their return to England for the Community Shield six days after.
