Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered the race to sign Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.
Erik ten Hag’s men have come into action in this window of movement with the exciting and immediate signing of Joshua Zirkzee and the imminent announcement of Leny Yoro, after passing the medical yesterday.
However, if the Red Devils wish to continue signing new players, they will now have to do so due to PSR restrictions.
It has been widely reported that United are keen to occupy their midfield and with Joao Neves increasingly likely to be off the menu as he heads to Paris Saint-Germain, United have been linked with a move for Manuel Ugarte.
The Uruguayan is reportedly open to joining United, but the Red Devils may not be able to complete a deal unless they sell a midfielder like Casemiro.
However, a midfielder who arouses more interest than the Brazilian is McTominay, who is coming off a successful season by scoring 10 goals for the club.
The Sun reports that they “may reveal that Tottenham are now following the Scotland international” and that United would ask him for at least £40m, £10m more than last summer’s asking price.
North Londoners had in the past targeted Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, but he is now more likely to remain in west London this summer.
The English newspaper reports that “Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is an admirer of McTominay and believes he could add a new player to his team alongside James Muploadison. “
The Scottish foreigner has suitors in Turkey and Galatasaray are reportedly making a bid for him, but the Super Lig look is highly unlikely to match United’s valuation.
It also emerged that Fulham had noticed a rejected offer for the 27-year-old and were considering returning with a momentarily advanced offer.
It is unclear how willing United are to sell the player, as it has been reported here that the club could extend his contract to protect themselves from potential buyers and The Sun also reports that manager Erik Ten Hag needs to lose him.
There’s no doubt, however, that McTominay turns out to be a more realistic source of cash this summer than Casemiro and, as he’s an academy product, a potential sale would count as a natural benefit and, in particular, increase United’s move-in prize pool.
