Scott McTominay is reportedly on a list of 11 players Sir Jim Ratcliffe would like to clear out of Manchester United.

The Scotland international has proven time and time again to be a vital player for the Old Trafford side.

However, it seems that the 27-year-old could be on his way to the exit this summer.

Ratcliffe - found of Ineos - is looking to put his stamp on footballing matters at the global giants after securing his 25 percent stake in the club, which is worth around £1.3b.

He wants United to hire Newcastle's Dan Ashworth as their first-ever sporting director as part of a major shake-up to the football department.

And MEN Sport claims that one of Ashworth's main tasks could be negotiating the departure of up to 11 players in the summer transfer window.

McTominay, Raphael Varane, Casemiro, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof may all need to find new clubs, it's been suggested.

In addition, it's claimed that Jadon Sancho, Brandon Williams, Donny van de Beek and Facundo Pellistri, all currently out on loan, could also be moved on.

McTominay has become one of the first names on the teamsheet for Scotland under Steve Clarke. He will undoubtedly be on the plane to Germany for Euro 2024 this summer. 

So, if he performs on the big stage for his national team, then a big move could be in the offing as a result.

Meanwhile, Scotland's automatic path into the Champions League looks set to be coming to an end.

Last night's set of results in favour of teams from the Czech Republic dealt a major blow to both Premiership title chasers Rangers and Celtic.

As is well-known, by finishing top spot in Scotland, not only is the crown secured, but so is a place in the group stage of the following season's Champions League - and the £40m riches that brings.
