Manchester United will sell Scott McTominay only if they receive about £40m. West Ham have lodged an interest in the midfielder as they seek a replacement for Declan Rice.

McTominay is valued by Erik ten Hag so the club will countenance selling the 26-year-old only if their price is matched.

It is understood West Ham have contacted United with a view to buying the Scotland international after the sale of Rice to Arsenal. McTominay is open to staying but is conscious of the need for regular game time to retain his Scotland starting berth.

United need to raise money through the sale of fringe players and are also open to offers for Harry Maguire, Fred, and Donny van de Beek.

Ten Hag is targeting a No 9, with Atalanta’s Rasmus Højland of firm interest, though United will not pay more than £60m. Eintracht Frankfurt’s France international Randal Kolo Muani is also admired by the manager.
