Manchester United’s recent splurge on young talents like Zirkzee and Yoro has potentially limited their ability to make further signings without player sales.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been linked with a move away, and Scott McTominay could be another casualty.

Galatasaray reportedly view McTominay as their “preferred solution” for midfield reinforcement. However, United’s asking price of £40 million is deemed too high by Galatasaray, with talks seemingly stalled.

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg tweeted on X that Galatasaray ‘have the feeling’ that the midfielder is open to a move.

He tweeted the following: “Been told that @GalatasaraySK have not yet given up hope on Scott McTominay!

“The 27 y/o is the preferred solution for their central midfield. Galatasaray have the feeling that he is open to a move to their club and there are serious chances.

“Therefore, Gala have also initiated talks with Manchester United. The clubs remain in contact. However, #MUFC are still demanding around €30m, which is still too much for them. Contract valid until 2025.”

Selling McTominay would generate a significant profit and satisfy Premier League financial regulations.

Fabrizio Romano suggests United are prioritizing McTominay or Casemiro’s departure to make room for PSG’s Manuel Ugarte, a target for Erik ten Hag.

He tweeted: “Man United, working on outgoings with Casemiro or Scott McTominay to make room for new midfielder. Ugarte, keen on the move. Up to the clubs.”

McTominay, a United academy graduate, may face limited playing time if Ugarte arrives.

While he could benefit financially from a sale, he faces a decision regarding first-team opportunities elsewhere.

Offloading McTominay appears crucial for United to fund further signings this summer.
