Man Utd weigh up £70m McTominay raid as Premier League trio circle Robertson

Manchester United are exploring the possibility of bringing Scott McTominay back to Old Trafford just two seasons after sanctioning his departure to Napoli, according to reports in Spain. The 29-year-old Scotland international, who left United for the Serie A side in a deal worth significantly less than the mooted £70 million valuation now being placed upon him, has impressed in Italy and is now being viewed as a potential solution to Erik ten Hag’s midfield conundrum.

Napoli, who are understood to be open to a sale, would stand to make a substantial profit on a player they signed for a fraction of the current asking price. United’s hierarchy are believed to be monitoring the situation closely, with the club’s recruitment team assessing whether a formal approach would represent value in what is expected to be a busy summer window.

Meanwhile, Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has emerged as a surprise target for a trio of Premier League clubs. Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers are all keeping tabs on the 31-year-old Scotland captain, who has entered the final 12 months of his Anfield contract. Although no formal offers have been tabled, sources indicate that all three clubs are preparing contingency plans should Robertson decide to seek a new challenge away from Merseyside.

The potential movement of two of Scottish football’s most recognisable stars comes amid a flurry of transfer chatter involving British-based talent. Elsewhere, Feyenoord remain the only club to have maintained regular scouting missions on Chivas striker Armando Gonzalez, despite previous links to Celtic, Barcelona and West Ham United. The 22-year-old recently turned down a £15 million switch to CSKA Moscow in order to focus on securing a place in Mexico’s World Cup squad.

In Glasgow, Rangers are eager to extend Mikey Moore’s loan from Tottenham, though the London club have inserted a relegation clause that would recall the 18-year-old winger instantly if Spurs drop into the Championship. Hearts’ on-loan striker James Wilson, 18, has been fast-tracked to Tottenham’s senior bench after impressing under-21 coach Igor Tudor, while Motherwell’s out-of-contract midfielder Callum Slattery is attracting admiring glances from English second and third-tier sides.

Aberdeen skipper Graeme Shinnie, 33, revealed that no discussions have yet taken place over a new deal, insisting his focus remains on reversing the club’s recent slide, and Dundee United full-back Ryan Strain, 28, is similarly in the dark over fresh terms as he battles back from injury. Finally, Sweden boss Graham Potter is being monitored by Celtic as a long-shot candidate for their permanent managerial post, with his current national-team deal potentially extendable should they navigate March’s World Cup play-off path.
