It's all change at Manchester United this summer and while it seemed as if Scott McTominay could have been lost in the shuffle, it now seems it's his midfield partner Fred most likely to be heading for the exit.
United boss Erik ten Hag is in the second phase of his Old Trafford rebuild and he's changing things around in midfield. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen arrived last summer and became key men and he's added Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount to an increasingly stacked deck in the middle of the pitch.
The burgeoning list of options is likely to lead to some casualties and it had been widely expected that McTominay, who started just ten league games last season, could be on his way. The Scotland star has been subject of links with West Ham and Newcastle among others and is believed to be open to a move away to get his career motoring again.
