Fulham have made a second bid of about £20m for Scott McTominay. Manchester United are minded to sell but may hold out for their desired fee of £25m-£30m.

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are also interested in the Scotland midfielder, who has a year left on his contract with an option to extend for a further year.

Although Erik ten Hag values McTominay, who scored 10 goals last season, United’s need to sell if they are to strengthen means the club will allow him to go for the apposite price.

This means Fulham may have to up their offer. Whether Fenerbahce, who are managed by José Mourinho, and Galatasaray firm up their interest with a serious bid remains to be seen.

If McTominay departs Ten Hag has Mason Mount to offer competition to Bruno Fernandes for the No 10 position. McTominay played in a variety of roles last season, from defensive midfielder to forward.
