It’s a twist. Tottenham is preparing to recruit “Manchester United’s core.”
British media The Sun reported on the 18th (Korean time) that Tottenham is seeking to recruit Scott McTominay (Manchester United). Manchester United wants at least 40 million pounds.
Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, ranked fifth in the final of the English Premier League in the 2023-2024 season. It has secured a ticket to play against Europe in the next season. Postecoglou plans to strengthen the squad by recruiting players.
The media outlet said, “Tottenham wanted to recruit Conor Gallagher (Chelsea). However, they changed their decision as it was not easy to recruit.”
McTominay is drawing attention from Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham (England), and Galatasaray SK (Turkiye). Born in 1996, McTominay played for Manchester United as a former United youth player. He played 176 EPL matches while wearing a Manchester United uniform. During the 2023-2024 season, he had seven goals and one assist in 32 matches in the league. 밤알바
The Sun said, “McTominay is attracting Fulham’s interest. Manchester United rejected Fulham’s bid. However, Manchester United are expected to consider selling McTominay due to financial difficulties.” Manchester United reportedly paid £36.5 million to recruit Joshua Zirkjay. They are also preparing to recruit Lenny Yoro (Lille), whose transfer fee is around £52 million.
The media reported that McTominay’s transfer fee was £30 million last season. He received West Ham’s attention last summer. However, talks broke down. His transfer fee has now risen to £40 million. However, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has no intention of selling him.
