Manchester United Turns Down £30m Offer for Scott McTominay from West Ham; Transfer Saga Continues Amidst Maguire Talks

Scott McTominay, the Scottish midfielder, has been the subject of interest from West Ham United, who have reportedly put in a £30m bid for the player.

Manchester United, however, has rejected the offer, signaling their unwillingness to sell the player. It's now up to West Ham to decide whether they want to raise their price and make another bid or move on to other targets.

The Red Devils are holding out for a higher fee for the 26-year-old Scottish midfielder, who is valued at around £40m.

West Ham are keen to sign McTominay as they look to bolster their midfield ahead of the new season. The Hammers have already signed Nayef Aguerd from Rennes, and they are looking to add another midfielder to their ranks.

McTominay is a versatile midfielder who can play in a number of positions. He is strong in the tackle, and he has a good passing range. He is also a good goal scorer, having scored 3 goals in 39 appearances for United in the 2022/23 season.

United are reluctant to sell McTominay, as they see him as a key part of their future. He is still only 26 years old, and he has the potential to become a top midfielder. The player has been playing for the Red Devils since 2002 to 2017 in the club's Youth club. In 2017, he officially joined the first-tier team for United.

However, rival clubs' fans feel the offer is a good deal for Scott McTominay and think Manchester United may not get a better offer from other clubs.

However, United are open to selling McTominay if they receive a suitable offer. They are also willing to listen to offers for the most expensive defender, Harry Maguire, who has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

Negotiations for Maguire are ongoing, but they are not at advanced stages yet. United are demanding a fee of around £60m for the England international, but there is no indication that any clubs are willing to meet that valuation.

It remains to be seen whether West Ham will return with a higher bid for McTominay, or whether United will sell Maguire this summer. However, it is clear that the Red Devils are willing to part ways with some of their big-name players in order to raise funds for new signings.
