The Scottish international has been with Manchester United since he was a toddler. He has risen through the ranks at the club and is now an important member of their first squad. McTominay, on the other hand, has recently dropped down the pecking order.
The 26-year-old has appeared in 35 appearances for the Red Devils this season, scoring four goals. McTominay has played in more than 30 games and has logged over 1600 minutes on the field.
The Scot has recently shown his ability, scoring four goals during the most recent international break. Manchester United’s midfielder scored twice against Cyprus and once against Spain. In addition, he recently scored for Manchester United against Everton.
Despite being a regular starter for the Red Devils in their previous four games, McTominay has spoken with manager Erik Ten Hag regarding his long-term future at Old Trafford. He is also expected to leave the team after the season.
However, McTominay is set to fall the midfield pecking order when Christian Eriksen returns to health after a three-month sabbatical and Casemiro returns from suspension. And Manchester United will seek roughly £50m to let go of the 26-year-old.
Newcastle United is one of the teams interested in betting on the Scotland international. McTominay has attracted the attention of Magpies coach Eddie Howe despite being more of a squad player than a regular starter under ten Hag. McTominay, he feels, would be a wonderful addition to the squad.
Newcastle has been doing well this season. They are now vying for a place in the Champions League and are hoping to construct a squad capable of challenging for the league championship next season.
McTominay’s presence will undoubtedly aid their case by adding depth to their midfield. Nonetheless, it will be intriguing to see whether the wealthiest club in the world is prepared to fulfill Manchester United’s £50m asking price.
McTominay has made a significant choice. He has spent his whole professional career with Manchester United, having graduated from their academy in 2017.
McTominay will be at ease at Manchester United since he is so familiar with the club. But, he seems to be putting his profession first, which might lead to a move after the season.
After learning of McTominay’s intention to leave, teams further down the Premier League standings will be on high alert. But, he may end up competing with Manchester United for top-four finishes in the future.
Newcastle United is interested in the 38-cap international, according to several sources. Eddie Howe is said to be a great admirer of McTominay and wants to bring him to Saint James’ Park.
Newcastle already has solid midfield options, including Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Sean Longstaff, and Joe Willock.
McTominay, on the other hand, will be more certain of making Newcastle’s starting eleven than Manchester United’s, particularly as Ten Hag does not appear to rank him as highly as Howe.
