Scott McTominay 'will not leave Manchester United in January'

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has reportedly made it clear that Scott McTominay will not be leaving Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

The Scotland international was heavily linked with a move away from the Red Devils over the summer, with Newcastle United and West Ham United both allegedly keen on his services.

McTominay was also linked with Fulham in the closing stages of the transfer window, as the Cottagers looked to bring in a replacement for Joao Palhinha, who saw a late move to Bayern Munich collapse.

The 26-year-old is down the pecking order when it comes to the midfield spots at Old Trafford, but he showed his value with a brace off the bench against Brentford before the international break.

Man United were staring at a seventh defeat of the campaign before McTominay scored twice in second-half stoppage time to help his team record a 2-1 victory over the Bees.

According to the Daily Star, there will again be interest in the Scot during the January transfer window, but he will not be leaving Old Trafford in the middle of the season.

The report claims that Ten Hag views the midfielder as 'too important' considering the injury problems that the club have already suffered during the 2023-24 campaign.

McTominay has allegedly 'impressed in training' during a tough start to the season, and he remains committed to the 20-time English champions despite finding it difficult to secure starts this term.

The midfielder has only started two Premier League games this season, while he was an unused substitute in the team's recent Champions League clash with Galatasaray.

McTominay is currently away with Scotland, and he appeared to have sent his national side ahead against Spain on Thursday evening with a thumping free kick.

However, the midfielder's effort in the Euro 2024 qualifier was ruled out for an offside, meaning that Steve Clarke's side are yet to secure their spot at next summer's European Championship.

McTominay has featured on 215 occasions for Man United in all competitions, scoring 21 goals and registering five assists in the process.

The Red Devils will be back in action against Sheffield United next weekend, and the club will be sweating over the fitness of Casemiro due to the knock that he has suffered on international duty with Brazil.

An injury for Casemiro could potentially open the door for McTominay to start against Sheffield United, although Christian Eriksen is also an option to be brought into the starting side.
