Manchester United is contemplating offers for two of their longstanding players, Scott McTominay and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, in this summer's transfer window. The Daily Mail reports that the club has already rejected a bid from Fulham for McTominay, while West Ham is evaluating the possibility of signing Wan-Bissaka.

Last summer, West Ham had made a £30 million ($39 million) offer for McTominay, which was turned down by Manchester United. Fulham's recent bid for the Scottish midfielder was lower than West Ham's previous offer. Despite rejecting these initial bids, United remains open to receiving offers for many of their key players, including McTominay and Wan-Bissaka.

McTominay has attracted interest from various clubs, including Galatasaray. Manchester United has the option to extend the contract of the 27-year-old Scotland international by an additional year. He had a productive season last year, scoring 10 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions, making him a valuable asset. However, United is willing to negotiate a transfer if the right offer is presented.

In the case of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, West Ham is reportedly exploring the option of signing him for a fee potentially around £15 million ($19.5 million). The right-back made a total of 30 appearances last season, with 20 starts in the Premier League. Despite his limited playing time, Wan-Bissaka remains a reliable defensive choice, and his departure could free up funds for United to reinvest in strengthening their squad.

Manchester United's readiness to consider offers for McTominay and Wan-Bissaka underscores their strategic approach to reshaping the team and ensuring financial flexibility.

As Manchester United continues their preparations for the upcoming season, they are scheduled to play a friendly against Rangers this weekend, following a defeat in their first pre-season match against Rosenborg. The club is focused on fine-tuning the squad and assessing player performances to be fully prepared for the challenges of the Premier League season ahead.
