Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was on the verge of leaving Old Trafford this summer, but latest speculations suggest that he could yet leave in January.
Prior to the summer transfer window, there was widespread speculation at Old Trafford that Scott McTominay would be leaving the club.
Newcastle was expected to display interest, but they ultimately chose to invest in Sandro Tonali.
West Ham also made a proposal, which Manchester United turned down because it fell short of the £45 million price set for the Scotland international.
Bayern Munich was later connected with a move, but they ultimately targeted Fulham’s Joao Palhinha, who was McTominay’s rumoured preferred target if the transaction went through.
However, the McTominay transfer saga may not be over yet, with the latest development suggesting a potential continuation in January.
A Fulham move could still be on the horizon, as Bayern Munich may revisit their interest in Palhinha, creating a domino effect that could lead the London-based club directly to McTominay.
The report further states that the Scotland star will be available in January for the right offer.
At this stage in his career, a departure may be the best career move for the lifelong Manchester United player.
Why McTominay should consider a move Let’s be honest; it seems like a no-brainer for McTominay to explore other options now.
It’s evident that he isn’t favored by Erik ten Hag, as evidenced by the club’s eagerness to bring in Sofyan Amrabat and the reluctance to field McTominay.
In the midfield hierarchy, McTominay likely finds himself at best as the sixth choice when everyone is fit, making a move a logical step.
However, despite his current situation, McTominay would be a valuable addition to Fulham, possessing qualities that a manager like Marco Silva would undoubtedly appreciate.
