Bayern Munich Consider Loan Move for Scott McTominay

Bayern Munich are reportedly considering a loan move for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

According to German publication BILD, Bayern have identified McTominay as their first choice option as they look to bring in a new holding midfielder before the transfer window closes.

The 26-year-old McTominay is no longer guaranteed a regular place in the starting lineup at United, as demonstrated by the fact that he has made two short substitute appearances in the Premier League this season.

McTominay possesses plenty of experience having made over 200 appearances for United. The Scotland international has two years remaining on his contract at United, with the club having the option to extend his deal by a further year.

So far in this transfer window, Bayern have signed Harry Kane, Kim Min-Jae and Daniel Peretz, while Konrad Laimer and Raphael Guerreiro have joined on free transfers. Bayern already have the likes of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka in midfield but they are reportedly looking for another option.

There have been suggestions that Bayern could loan Ryan Gravenberch to United as part of a deal for McTominay. If the move goes through, it would provide McTominay with the opportunity for more regular first team football as he looks to kickstart his career.
