Erik ten Hag therefore saw greater value in keeping McTominay instead of the likes of Donny van de Beek and Fred. However, with little interest in the Dutchman and Fred entering the last year of his contract, McTominay has greater selling power. The midfielder emerged from United’s academy and he’s attracted interest from West Ham following the Hammers’ decision to let Declan Rice join Arsenal. With Mount arriving on a £55m deal, McTominay could be replaced by a more defensive-minded midfielder. Casemiro turns 32 next February, and Ten Hag wants to lower the age profile of his midfield. Mount has already helped in that regard but a younger midfielder – such as Romeo Lavia – could be a perfect long-term replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
