Scott McTominay: Fulham increase bid for Man Utd midfielder as Red Devils face having to sell Erik ten Hag favourite for below asking price

Last month, Fulham saw their preliminary bid for McTominay pushed back by Manchester United as they felt the offered transfer fee fell way below their expectations. As per The Guardian, Fulham have now submitted a new bid worth £20 million ($25.5m) as they look to add another signing, with Emile Smith-Rowe closing in on a move from Arsenal.

As per the report, the value of the second bid is still some way off Manchester United's valuation of the 27-year-old. The Red Devils expect a bid between £25-£30 million ($32m-38.3) to be suitable for the midfielder who is also being targeted by Turkish sides Galatasaray and Fenerbahce over a summer move.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has voiced his willingness to keep McTominay with the club for another season, however, he understands that following the big money spent on transfers this summer the club will have to make sales to continue their overhaul of the squad. As a result, they might accept a bid beneath their asking price.

The Scottish midfielder is currently participating in the Red Devils' United States tour and will likely take part in their last Stateside friendly against Liverpool on August 4 before the squad heads back to the UK.
