Manchester United have reportedly rejected multiple offers for Scott McTominay so far this summer.

The Scotland international has just one year left on his current contract at Old Trafford, but Man Utd have the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months, while they reportedly see McTominay as a key member of the first-team squad.

However, the 27-year-old has attracted significant interest from across Europe and Man Utd have rejected early summer bids, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray are among the clubs interested in signing McTominay, and their vice-chairman Ibrahim Hatipoglu recently revealed that talks are ongoing.

“McTominay's transfer fee is being discussed,” he admitted to Haber Sari Kirmizi (via Manchester Evening News).

Hatipoglu added: “Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a good player, he has many suitors, he wants to see all options. There is no talk of single-digit figures for right-back and midfield transfers. But we have allocated a budget of less than €10 million for right-back.

"There is no negative situation regarding [Rennes right-back] Guela Doue. Negotiations are ongoing [for] McTominay and Doue. [Aaron] Wan-Bissaka is not our priority.”

Scott McTominay to stay at Man Utd?

Last season, McTominay scored 10 goals - the third most of any player in Man Utd’s squad - and provided three assists in all competitions as he established himself as a key player for the Red Devils.

His form came following significant links with an exit last summer, with Erik ten Hag reportedly wanting to offload the Scotland midfielder amid interest from West Ham United.

However, McTominay looks as though he could stay at Old Trafford this summer.

Casemiro has been heavily linked with a departure to the Saudi Pro League, while long-term target Amadou Onana is set to join Aston Villa.

Adam Wharton, Manuel Ugarte and Joao Neves have emerged as legitimate targets of late, however it remains to be seen if Man Utd are able to sign a new central midfielder this summer.
