Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United could now be able to sign Scott McTominay from Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United for £40 million.
According to The Daily Mail, Manchester United are ready to sell Scott McTominay, linked with Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, for £40 million.
Earlier this month, Football Transfers reported that Newcastle are keen on securing the services of the Scotland international midfielder, who is “underrated and undervalued”, according to former Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood on talkSPORT in March 2023.
Should Newcastle United pay £40m for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay?
In our opinion, Newcastle United should think carefully about paying £40 million for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay in the summer transfer window.
The Magpies are on the verge of signing Sandro Tonali from AC Milan, according to BBC Sport.
So, you would have to ask whether the Magpies need to spend £40 million on another midfielder.
Yes, we know that Newcastle will play in the UEFA Champions League next season and will also aim to challenge for the Premier League top four.
But, McTominay would want to play regularly for the Magpies, and Newcastle would have to think carefully if they would be able to manage that expectation.
