Fulham remain interested in Scott McTominay and could make an approach for the Manchester United midfielder in January, according to reports.
McTominay was one of several players United considered selling over the summer, following an influx of central midfielders and the integration into the first-team of Kobbie Mainoo. West Ham saw a £30million bid rejected for the Scotland international but an improved offer could have seen the midfielder leave.
Fulham held an interest in the 26-year-old and were poised to move after agreeing a deal to sell Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich. But after failing to secure any replacement on deadline day, Marco Silva's side called off the move and the Portuguese midfielder has since signed a new long-term contract.

But according to Sky Sports, Bayern remain interested in Palhinha and could launch another bid come January with Thomas Tuchel keen to strengthen in defensive midfield. Fulham have far more time to sign a successor and McTominay remains high on the Cottagers' list.
Elsewhere, Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Sevilla are keeping a 'watchful eye' on Hannibal Mejbri ahead of a potential move.
The La Liga side are said to have made contact with the midfielder and his representatives over the summer, however, they were met with resistance from United who were unwilling to negotiate. The ensuing weeks have shown that Hannibal looks set to play a part in Erik ten Hag's plans, having started the last two games against Burnley and Palace.
