According to sources from Football Insider, Scott McTominay has notified the Man United board that he intends to leave the club this summer if he is dropped further down the pecking order.
Manchester United’s midfielder Scott McTominay has reportedly informed the club’s board of his intention to leave this summer if he continues to be pushed down the pecking order.
Sources close to the situation revealed to Football Insider that the 26-year-old has seen his playing time at Old Trafford decline since the arrival of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen last summer, and fears another midfield signing during the upcoming transfer window could force him out.
McTominay, who is keen to secure regular playing time while in the prime of his career, perceives the potential acquisition of another midfielder as a significant threat to his role in the squad.
Manchester United is reportedly looking to secure Marcel Sabitzer on a permanent deal, further exacerbating McTominay’s concerns of being marginalized.
To make matters worse, the arrival of Sabitzer could be the final straw for the Scottish international, as sources reveal that Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has already favored the Austrian midfielder over McTominay on occasion this season.
The situation presents a dilemma for Erik Ten Haag , who has repeatedly praised McTominay’s performances in the past.
