West Ham United head coach David Moyes is reportedly pushing for his club to move for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay during this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old's future at Old Trafford is currently being called into question, with the Red Devils believed to be willing to listen to offers for him during the current market.

Newcastle United were linked with the midfielder in January and are believed to be considering reigniting their interest this summer, while Everton are also thought to be admirers.

McTominay played 39 times for Man United last season, but he started just 10 times in the Premier League, with Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen and Fred ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Scotland international recently expressed his happiness in Manchester, but it is thought that an offer in the region of £40m would convince the Red Devils to sell him this summer.

According to The Sun, Moyes is 'a big fan' of McTominay and believes that he 'ticks lots of boxes' for the Hammers, who face the difficult task of replacing Declan Rice this summer.

Rice's move to Arsenal has not yet been confirmed, with the two clubs remaining in talks over the structure of the deal, but it is thought that an announcement will arrive in the not too distant future.

Moyes allegedly does not view McTominay as a direct replacement for Rice but believes that the Scot would be a strong addition for the Hammers, who will be back in the Europa League next season following their triumph in the Europa Conference League.

McTominay came through the youth system at Old Trafford, progressing through the various age groups before making his first-team debut in 2017.

The midfielder has featured on 209 occasions for the Red Devils, scoring 19 goals and registering five assists in the process.

McTominay has another two years left to run on his contract, meanwhile, with the option of an additional year, placing Man United in a strong position in any potential transfer talks.

Mason Mount is set to arrive at Old Trafford from Chelsea, with the England international preparing to undergo a medical with the Red Devils on Monday.

McTominay could therefore find it even tougher to secure regular starts next term, which might lead to him seeking pastures new during the current market.

Fred is in a similar position at the club this summer, and the Brazil international is reportedly the subject of interest from Italian giants Roma.
