Ten Hag wants to keep 'important' McTominay despite Man Utd exit links
Scott McTominay has been linked with a move away from Manchester United, but Erik ten Hag hopes he will remain at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United do not want to sell Scott McTominay, despite speculation linking the midfielder with a move away from Old Trafford.
McTominay, who has been with United since the age of five, has been the subject of interest from Galatasaray and Fulham, with the latter seeing a bid of £17million rejected.
The Scotland midfielder enjoyed his most prolific season in 2023-24 with 10 goals, before appearing for his nation at Euro 2024.
And though the Red Devils are reportedly keen to offload players, Ten Hag hopes McTominay will not be one of them.
"We have very good players, so there will always be interest from other clubs," Ten Hag said.
"When you score 10 goals in a season and also perform very well for Scotland, then there will be interest. But we want to keep him because he is a very important player for our squad.
"What he can contribute, as we saw last season once we had our sixes available, he could play in a more advanced role, and he is a highly interesting player for our team."
