Tuesday's papers: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Scott McTominay, Chris Smalling

Other clubs have come calling but Scott McTominay is Manchester United's man.

What the papers say

Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay is staying put at Old Trafford, despite Celtic having been keen to take him on loan and numerous Premier League sides expressing interest. The Sun reports Manchester United want to hand the 23-year-old academy product a  £60,000-per-week contract, which is double his current salary, after 18 appearances this season.

Staying at United and club bosses have told manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he is safe in his role, according to the Daily Mail. The Glazers have assured the Norwegian his job is secure and will not be given to ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino. Club co-owner Joel Glazer has also reportedly told Solskjaer that the cash will be provided to sign Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez.

Arsenal will have to compete with Inter Milan and Juventus for the signature of Chris Smalling. The Manchester United centre-back has impressed while on loan to Roma, with the Italian side ready to pay £13 million to secure him but the Red Devils want  £17m. Harry Maguire's presence at the back at Old Trafford may mean the 30-year-old stays in Italy or goes to north London, the Daily Mirror reports.

The ongoing saga of where Zlatan Ibrahimovic will end up after the LA Galaxy continues, with a potential switch to Bologna unlikely to happen, according to the Daily Mail. Bologna director Walter Sabatini has said the 38-year-old will not join the Rossoblu as the player "has made other choices". The Swedish striker previously spent time at AC Milan and is rumoured to be returning there.
