Fulham preparing new bid for Man Utd midfielder

Fulham are preparing a renewed approach for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay, according to Sky Sports News.

The Cottagers recently sanctioned the transfer of Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich and they are now eyeing a replacement.

McTominay is one of the top names on their wishlist and reports claim that they have already made an opening offer for him.

A package worth £17 million was turned down by the Red Devils, but the west London outfit are already preparing a new bid.

McTominay is currently content to stay with the club, but he won't rule out a potential move elsewhere for regular playing time.

The Scot has only been used in rotation at United and his situation seems unlikely to change in the forthcoming campaign.

The club are currently looking into a deal for Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte. They want to pair him alongside Kobbie Mainoo.

United may need to pay around £38m for the Uruguayan and will want to recoup most of the fee from McTominay's departure.
