Scott McTominay Next Club Odds: Newcastle And Everton In Battle For Man Utd Star

Manchester United may decide to cash in on Scotland international Scott McTominay as they seek to overhaul their midfield this summer.

UK betting sites have installed Newcastle as the favourites to sign the tireless 26-year-old midfielder if he does leave Old Trafford.

He could prove to be the perfect foil for Bruno Guimaraes, who has often impressed when given the freedom to push up and support the Magpies’ attack.

However, Newcastle may face fierce competition from a series of Premier League rivals in the scramble for McTominay’s signature.

West Ham, Everton and Brighton are in the mix, while a move to Celtic has also been mooted, and there is also the chance of him heading overseas.

McTominay has never entirely convinced in the United engine room, often forming one-half of the dreaded McFred axis alongside Brazilian midfielder Fred.

Yet he has plenty of admirers, and his remarkable, marauding performances for the national team over the past year suggest he still has more potential to unlock.

These are the leading contenders to sign McTominay if he does leave the club this summer.

Newcastle Tops Scott McTominay Next Club Odds: Will They Secure the Transfer?

Eddie Howe has fostered a strong British core since replacing Steve Bruce as Newcastle manager a couple of years ago.

He inherited the likes of Joe Willock, Ryan Fraser, Jacob Murphy, Matt Ritchie and Callum Wilson, but he has often bought British players when dipping into the transfer market.

High-profile arrivals include Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon, and McTominay would be a natural addition to the squad.

The Magpies have already splashed out on a midfielder this summer, bringing in Italian maestro Sandro Tonali from AC Milan.

However, Newcastle transfer odds suggest they wish to bolster that area of the pitch as they prepare for their first Champions League campaign since the 2002/03 season.

They are the 2/1 favourites to sign McTominay if he ends up leaving Man Utd before the transfer window slams shut.

Exploring The Betting Landscape: Everton's Promising Position To Sign Scott McTominay 

Several players have moved from Old Trafford to Goodison Park in the Premier League era, including a host of midfielders.

Phil Neville was the Toffees’ most successful signing, but they also returned to the well for Darron Gibson, Tom Cleverley, Morgan Schneiderlin and James Garner.

It is therefore easy to imagine them entering the race to sign McTominay, although it may be difficult for them to convince him to join the club, even if they are 4/1 with football betting sites to sign the Scot.

After all, they barely escaped relegation in the past two seasons, whereas Newcastle and West Ham have been a lot stronger.

The Race For Scott McTominay: West Ham's Prominent Position In Next Club Odds 

West Ham could provide McTominay with a compelling alternative as they bid to rebuild their midfield in the wake of Declan Rice’s departure.

It will be difficult for the Hammers to replace their talismanic captain with just one player, so some reporters have suggested they will target at least two new arrivals.

James Ward-Prowse and Denis Zakaria have been heavily linked, but the former is not a holding midfielder and the latter remains unproven in the Premier League, having barely featured for Chelsea during a loan spell.

McTominay could help West Ham replace Rice’s ball-winning capabilities in the middle of the park, and he may be attracted to the idea of linking up with a fellow Scot in David Moyes.

As such, the Hammers are the 6/1 joint-third favourites to sign McTominay from United this summer. 

Will Celtic Beat The Odds And Secure Scott McTominay? Betting Insights Revealed

McTominay has only won a single trophy during his six-year stint at Man Utd - the EFL Cup last season.

He came off the bench with 21 minutes remaining in that game to help the Red Devils see out a 2-0 victory over Newcastle.

The 26-year-old may be keen to clinch some more silverware, so a move north of the border to join Celtic could appeal to the Lancaster-born midfielder.

The Hoops have won 11 of the last 12 Scottish Premiership titles, and they could all but guarantee him trophies.

Brendan Rodgers will be well aware of McTominay’s potential, so he could make a move for the Scotland international, and Celtic are priced at 6/1 with Parimatch to buy him. 

Analyzing The Odds: Is Roma's Pursuit Of Scott McTominay A Smart Bet?

Jose Mourinho handed McTominay his Man Utd debut back in May 2017, and he could now bid for a reunion with the midfielder.

He has raided the Premier League a few times since taking over as Roma boss, bringing the likes of Tammy Abraham and Rui Patricio to the Eternal City.

Mourinho likes hardworking, disciplined midfielders, and McTominay could fit the bill, so Roma are 12/1 with some UK bookmakers to sign him, but just 3/1 with others.

Alternatively, you can grab 6/1 at BetVictor on him joining any Italian club this summer. He is also 16/1 to join any Spanish club, 16/1 to join any German club or 16/1 to join any French club.

Scott McTominay Transfer Rumours: Assessing The Latest Odds

Brighton could prove to be interesting outsiders at 12/1, as they have already lost Alexis Mac Allister this summer, and Moises Caicedo also looks to be on his way out.

They have signed Mahmoud Dahoud and James Milner, but they will probably need to bring in more quality in the middle of the park.

McTominay could complement some of the younger stars in the Brighton team, and odds of 12/1 look tempting.

Longer shots include Crystal Palace, Fulham, Aston Villa, Leicester and AC Milan, who are all priced at 25/1 in this market with betting apps.
