Leeds and Aston Villa were credited with interest in Manchester United ace this summer.

Manchester United could allow Scott McTominay to leave on loan in January, report The Sun.

McTominay has had a difficult start to the season at Old Trafford and was substituted early against Newcastle.

This could spark the attention of both Leeds United and Aston Villa, The Sun report.

Both teams were interested in the summer but Manchester United chose to keep McTominay.

He has not been helped this season by some erratic decisions from manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho did not start him all season before throwing him in out of position at centre-back away to West Ham.

McTominay looked to be struggling for confidence against Newcastle and this is a loan move which could suit him.

Leeds are battling for promotion while Villa are down in 15th place, but hope new boss Dean Smith will spark a revival.
