Newcastle have held talks over Man United star but transfer may have to wait

Newcastle United have reportedly had some talks about a potential transfer deal for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay this January.

However, even though Man Utd could have some value in letting McTominay go, they are keen to keep him until the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.

Newcastle would do well to bring on the Scotland international as the report indicates that Eddie Howe is a fan of the player and could make him a key part of their Magpies team.

One imagines that McTominay will also be thinking of leaving Old Trafford to play more regularly, although Ben Jacobs recently wrote in his exclusive column CaughtOffside that Erik ten Hag was keen to stay with him.

It will be interesting to see how this saga unfolds, but Newcastle fans would surely welcome McTominay to St James’ Park after the promise he has shown in his time at United.

Despite not being an automatic starter of late, the 26-year-old has been a truly commanding presence in MUFC’s midfield at times and is often seen as an underrated member of the squad.
