An EPL Club Will Try To Sign McTominay This Summer – Colin Hendry

Former Scotland international Colin Hendry has said that he expects an English club to bid for Scott McTominay this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Describing Scott as an all-action midfielder who will thrive in the EPL, Colin revealed that an English club must be impressed with what the former MUFC player has been doing in Italy.

Hendry added that McTominay’s winning mentality will be a major attraction for the big clubs in England this summer.

His words, “Seeing what he’s done for Napoli a couple of years back, such a massive influence on them and what they achieved, then there’s going to be somebody in England probably thinking, ‘you know what, we wouldn’t mind bringing that here because he has got that winning mentality’.

And I’m not saying that the top six, top eight clubs don’t have a winning mentality, but over the years, it’s not easy to find.

So Scott, he was going to be a big player for us in the World Cup and the World Cup didn’t work I don’t think for him as it didn’t for a lot of Scottish players.

I was disappointed with Scotland in the World Cup, if I’m being honest. Then again, I suppose a lot of people would say that we were disappointing in 1998.

The one shining light about the World Cup in 2026 was the Tartan Army. They’ve now got history in America that’s totally untouched.

I’ve even seen some of the fans that are local to me, North East Tartan Army from Peterhead, they’re back out in Boston in October – they’re going back, they’ve got the boat and everything organised, it’s remarkable.

I think everybody was completely disappointed after 1-0 against Haiti. The initial game really set us up – I mean, really, really set us up.

And in a strange fashion as well, us going down 1-0 within 70 seconds against Morocco actually worked in our favour a little bit because they had their noses in front and we had to then react.

The good thing is that they didn’t score a second or a third goal, but we had to actually react to that and had a practically whole game to do that.

Could we have had a penalty on John McGinn? I think so. I think generally if that’s a free-kick outside the box, which it would have been given as a free-kick outside the box, it’s obviously a penalty if it’s in the box and it wasn’t given.

But I think on the whole, we were disappointing. But then again, as I said, people going back to 1998, it was disappointing in the end because we ended up getting gubbed by Morocco in the final game, which was a disappointment as well.”
