Newcastle look to sign Scott McTominay this summer… with club to bring in ‘five or six players’

Newcastle United are looking to bolster their squad this summer with the signing of Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

The Magpies are keen to bring in the Scottish international as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

According to reports, Newcastle are keen to bring in five or six players this summer, with McTominay at the top of the list.

The 23-year-old has been a regular in the Manchester United side this season, making 27 appearances in all competitions.

He has also been a consistent performer in the Champions League, scoring two goals in the group stages this term.

McTominay has been a key player for the Red Devils since signing from the academy in 2017 and has played a key role in their recent successes.

However, with Manchester United looking to invest in new players this summer, it could open the door for Newcastle to make their move for the midfielder.

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce is believed to be a big fan of McTominay and is hopeful that the club can secure his signature this summer.

It remains to be seen if Manchester United will be willing to let the midfielder leave, but it is clear that Newcastle are keen to add him to their ranks.

If they are successful in their pursuit, it could be the start of a new era for the Magpies, as they look to build a squad capable of competing for a place in Europe.
