What the papers say
Manchester United have rejected a bid for Scott McTominay from Fulham, the Daily Mail reports. The midfielder is said to have also attracted interest from Galatasaray and has one year left on his United contract, though the club can extend it for another 12 months.
The Telegraph reports Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is among the candidates being considered to replace Gareth Southgate as England manager. The Australian is reportedly highly rated by Football Association technical director John McDermott, who has “closely followed” Postecoglou’s career from Australia to Japan and the UK.
The Sun says Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is being targeted by Premier League rivals West Ham. Nelson has apparently told the club he is considering a move this summer.
