Manchester United have received a bid for midfielder Scott McTominay but it does not meet their valuation.
Manchester United have reportedly rejected a surprise bid for Scott McTominay.
The Scotland international has courted interest from Fulham, who are still believed to be interest despite snapping up Emile Smith-Rowe from Arsenal for a fee of £34 million.
But reports in Turkey say that champions Galatasaray are interested in the midfielder and have tabled an opening offer.
Turkish journalist Ali Naci Kucuk talked about the situation on Raydo Gol, via Sport Witness.
He claims that Galatasaray, who McTominay scored against in the Champions League group stages last season, came to United with an offer of £12.6 million.
It was instantly turned down by the Red Devils, who are believed to be demanding £25 million for McTominay.

Kucuk said: “Galatasaray have submitted an offer of €15m to Manchester United. Manchester United, on the other hand, wanted €30m.
“|f Manchester United don’t get the offers they want, McTominay could go to Galatasaray for €20m. Let me remind you, Galatasaray signed Mauro Icardi in September.”
Academy product McTominay enjoyed his most productive season last term, scoring 10 goals in 43 appearances as United finished in eighth position and won the FA Cup.

His current contract at Old Trafford runs until 2025 and the club also have the option to extend it beyond that.
Galatasaray have also been heavily linked with Manchester City’s out of favour midfielder Kalvin Phillips as they look to strengthen in the position ahead of the new season.
So far the Istanbul outfit have signed right-back Elias Jelert for €9 million, as well as drafting in former Chelsea pair Hakim Ziyech and Michy Batshuayi on free transfers.
