Manchester United Must Decide Scott McTominay’s Future Amid Financial Needs
Manchester United aim to improve their financial position this summer by selling players, with Scott McTominay potentially on the market.
Last season, McTominay scored seven Premier League goals, directly earning United 12 points. Without his contributions, they would have finished with 48 points, their lowest ever in the Premier League era. Notable performances included goals against Brentford, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
Despite interest from West Ham United last summer, United demanded £40 million, turning down a £30 million bid. McTominay ended the season with 10 goals in all competitions and 13 direct goal contributions, boosting his market value.
With his contract expiring next summer, and an option to extend until 2026, United might sell him now to raise much-needed funds. Clubs like Galatasaray have shown interest.
The risk is if McTominay’s performance dips, his value could decrease, similar to Jesse Lingard’s situation in 2021. Selling McTominay now would generate pure profit, aiding United’s financial position and providing funds for crucial squad improvements.
Manchester United must decide whether to capitalize on McTominay’s high market value now or risk a potential decrease in his valuation.
