Eric Ten Hag led Manchester United back to Champions League football and secured their first trophy since 2017. His arrival has not been a good omen for Scott McTominay, the product of United's academy. He had limited involvement in the team's recent success and with the addition of Mason Mount, it looks likely he will struggle to find playing time last season.
This situation suggests that the Scottish player, who still has two years left on his contract at Old Trafford, may consider an early exit. Various Premier League clubs, as well as teams from Spain and Germany, have been linked with a potential transfer for McTominay. United has set a price tag of approximately €30 million for the 26-year-old midfielder. In this article, we explore the likelihood of McTominay joining different clubs next season.

Celtic – 12/1 (13.00)
Scott McTominay is also being linked with a move to Celtic, the reigning champions of the Scottish Premiership. Upon his return to the managerial role at Parkhead, the manager Brendan Rodgers will be eager to secure quality players to sustain the team's winning streak in the league.
Celtic's assurance of Champions League football next season makes McTominay's experience in high-level competitions a valuable asset for the club. However, the significant hurdle in the potential arrival of the Scottish midfielder is the price tag of 30 million euros.

Everton – 15/2 (7.50)
In a thrilling finale to the previous Premier League season, Everton successfully avoided relegation on the last matchday. As they prepare for the upcoming season, Everton is focused on strengthening their squad. Manager Sean Dyche has expressed a strong interest in signing midfielder Scott McTominay.
Furthermore, Everton academy graduate Tom Davies has decided to leave Goodison Park in search of regular playing time, creating an opening for McTominay in the team. However, joining Everton would mean sacrificing the opportunity to participate in European competitions, which McTominay could potentially achieve with other interested clubs.
West Ham – 3/1 (4.00)
West Ham is a strong contender in the race to acquire Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay. Despite being crowned champions of the Europa Conference League, their performance in the Premier League was not exceptional. Finishing in the fourteenth position, they had a narrow six-point margin above the relegation zone.
The departure of captain Declan Rice has raised concerns about the squad's strength. With Lucas Paqueta and Flynn Downes as the club's senior central midfielders, their contracts extending beyond the upcoming season, McTominay could serve as a potential replacement for the former captain. West Ham aims to maintain their European success in the Europa League for the next season.
Newcastle – 9/4 (3.25)
Newcastle had a remarkable season, reaching the final of the Carabao Cup and making a long-awaited return to Champions League football after two decades. Determined to build upon their successes, manager Eddie Howe is actively involved in the transfer market.
Being told that Newcastle have left the table for Kephren Thuram. Midfielder valued at around €45m but the club and Eddie Howe are opting to pursue Scott McTominay who is thought to be a more secure choice with a fee of roughly £25m with 5m add ons! #NUFC pic.twitter.com/FhLUa4fvJe
