Everton are reportedly 'keen' on signing Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay, according to 90min.
The lowdown: Rise to prominence
A product of the youth academy in Manchester, the 25-year-old made 30 appearances at youth level before getting his senior bow in 2017.
The Scotland international has since amassed 172 outings for the Red Devils, directly contributing to 20 goals in the process.
However, following the capture of Casemiro from Real Madrid, question marks have been raised over McTominay's future, and it appears as though Everton could be among those interested in discovering the answers...
The latest: Everton 'keen' on McTominay
As per 90min, the Toffees, along with Newcastle, West Ham, Southampton and Leicester, are all 'keen' on the 34-cap midfielder.
It's claimed that suitors in Italy and Germany are also interested in McTominay, who has been hailed as 'absolutely unbelievable' and a potential future captain by Old Trafford legend Sammy McIlroy.
The report also states that any departure 'would likely be on loan' should it happen before the transfer deadline passes on September 1.

The verdict: Go for it
While the arrival of Amadou Onana has undoubtedly strengthened the midfield options at Goodison Park, there remains room for at least one more arrival to the ranks.
Also being linked with former Celtic ace Tom Rogic, Everton are clearly in the market for another option in that department, and the powerful United midfielder is an ideal candidate.
Last season, McTominay earned an impressive 6.91 average SofaScore rating whilst winning 6.7 duels, completing 1.2 dribbles and making two clearances per Premier League game , highlighting a superb all-round ability to perform at the top level.
Sharing similar stylistic traits to Declan Rice, Etienne Capoue and Oriol Romeu (FBRef), the 25-year-old warrior would appear to be a fine addition to Frank Lampard's squad, and one that the Goodison Park hierarchy should be working hard to make a reality.
