It will NOT. Like Iztok already said twice: you cannot follow the MT this way. Other fleets: yes, MT: no.
If you don't have another fleet close enough that can target the MT for you (and you said you haven't) than you can use the Stars! Calculator to determine where the MT will be next turn. Get Stars! Calc, open the backup from previous year (you *do* keep backups, do you? ) insert those coordinates and the ones from this year and you'll get the result for the following year.
