Manchester United have rejected a £30 million bid from West Ham United for Scott McTominay, according to reports.
The Hammers have been long-term admirers of McTominay and are looking to strengthen their midfield this summer. They had a £20 million bid rejected last month, but they have returned with an improved offer.
However, United are said to be holding out for a fee of around £40 million for the Scotland international. They believe that McTominay is a key player for their future and are not prepared to let him go cheaply.
McTominay has been a regular in the United team in recent seasons and has developed into a versatile midfielder who can play in a number of positions. He is also a strong tackler and has a good passing range.
West Ham are still interested in signing McTominay and are likely to return with another bid in the coming weeks. However, it remains to be seen whether United will be willing to sell him for anything less than their asking price.
In the meantime, McTominay is expected to remain at Old Trafford and fight for his place in the team. He will be hoping to impress new manager Erik ten Hag and earn a regular starting spot in the upcoming season.
It will be interesting to see if West Ham come back with a higher offer for McTominay in the coming weeks. If they do, United will have to decide whether to sell him or keep him at the club.
