Louis Saha has urged Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay to "wait and see" what Erik ten Hag's plans for him are next season before deciding on a potential move to Newcastle United.
McTominay has been heavily linked with a summer transfer to Newcastle in the upcoming window. Eddie Howe's side have reportedly lined up the 26-year-old as a possible addition to their ranks for the 2023/24 campaign, one that has the potential to include Champions League football.
The Man United man scored twice in Scotland's 3-0 win over Cyprus on Saturday as he demonstrated his goalscoring capabilities from within midfield. McTominay, who used to be a striker before transitioning to the middle of the park later in his career, could well be showcasing those talents on Tyneside next season.

But Saha believes the Scot should hold off on making any decision over his future until he has got more clarity from Ten Hag over what his role at Old Trafford may look like if he should stay.
“I’m a big fan of Scotty. I feel a bit sorry for him because when Casemiro arrived, you knew that Scott would need the time to learn from him. Who knows, he could potentially be a partner for Casemiro in the future," he told Betfred.
“Newcastle United are a club that certainly want to go places and from Scott’s personal perspective, I can understand that he wants to focus on his own career and reach the highest level possible, but I would be sad to see him go. I would advise him to wait and see what Erik ten Hag has planned for him going into next season first.”
