West Ham United are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay but would have to offer at least £40million.
McTominay, 26, started only 16 times for United last season and his standing in the midfield is under mounting pressure from the 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo, who excelled again in his third consecutive start in pre-season against Arsenal.
West Ham are seeking a replacement for Declan Rice, who was sold to Arsenal for £105million, and manager David Moyes is an admirer of McTominay.
McTominay’s agent, Colin Murdock, played under Moyes at Preston North End. United had not provisionally planned to sell McTominay as Fred was identified as the midfielder to make way for new signing Mason Mount while manager Erik ten Hag values McTominay’s versatility and homegrown status.
