One player has been linked with a number of moves away from Old Trafford.

Former Manchester United midfielder Gordon Strachan has called for Scotland international Scott McTominay to leave Old Trafford. 

McTominay has made himself one of United's main goal threats in recent seasons, but struggled during the 2023/24 campaign with just 10 goals in 43 appearances. 

With the upcoming season being the first under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe who will be overseeing football operations, it's expected that this summer could see a number of changes made when it comes to player personnel. 

One of those whose future may not be in Manchester is McTominay who during the transfer window has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, and even Galatasaray where Jose Mourinho is manager. 

When speaking to topoffshorecasinos.com, Strachan explained why he believes McTominay should leave the Red Devils for pastures new. 

"Scott is a hard-working, committed player. He’s been linked with an exit for the last few seasons, but his application and desire has never been found wanting. He has fought for his place at the club. There has been a lot of talk about his ability, and he was identified as a player that could be upgraded, but when Manchester United needed a big moment last season, he would often provide it," Strachan said. 

"If he's enjoying what he's doing at Man United, if he's enjoying playing a squad role, then I think he should stay at the club. He’s one of the first names on the Scotland team sheet, so he doesn’t need to worry about his Manchester United game time affecting his international career. 

"If it was me, at this stage, I would want to go and play football every single week. I would want to go and prove that I’m a top player in the Premier League. He’s had some great times at Manchester United, and it’s a hard club to leave, but I think he should be playing week-in, week-out at his age."

United continue their preparations for the 2024/25 Premier League season on Saturday when they face rivals Manchester City for the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium.
