Fulham make 拢20m bid for Man Utd's McTominay
Manchester United's Scott McTominay is the subject of interest from another Premier league club for the second summer in a row

Manchester United have received a second bid from Fulham, understood to be 拢20m, for midfielder Scott McTominay.
It is anticipated United will reject the offer but the Scotland international's future is again uncertain after West Ham tried to sign him last summer.
Speaking on the club's pre-season tour of the United States, United manager Erik ten Hag said he is "pleased" to have McTominay in his squad, but stopped short of saying the 27-year-old Scotland international would remain at the club.
The Old Trafford club are trying to generate funds to buy new players and the injuries to defender Leny Yoro, who is set to miss three months, and striker Rasmus Hojlund heighten the issue.
McTominay is moving into the prime years of his career and wants to be a first-team regular.
He made 32 Premier League appearances for United last season, 14 from the bench, although he did start the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City at Wembley.
McTominay featured in the number 10 role in Wednesday's 3-2 pre-season win over Real Betis in San Diego.
However, with Bruno Fernandes still to join the main group for training after his exertions at Euro 2024, Mason Mount hoping to remain fit and Casemiro still at the club when many thought he may make a summer move to the Saudi Pro-League, it is possible a deal may eventually be done for the Scot.
When asked about the player's future, Ten Hag spoke about how impressed he was with the former United academy player.
鈥淚 am so pleased with the performance of Scott and so pleased to have him in my squad," said the Dutchman.
"Scott has huge impact on team performances with his spirit and playing in the advanced position he is so important."
