EXCL: Napoli agree deal with Man Utd for Scott McTominay. Subject to all parties being satisfied on player terms. ~€30m + % of future sale. Important for #MUFC FFP compliance. Manuel Ugarte potential signing would be aided by 27yo’s exit @TheAthleticFC
Will be a shame to see him go but this is the exact type of transfers we should be doing, selling on squad players while they are still worth a decent transfer fee rather than letting them stay on until they no longer have any value.
Always bittersweet when we let academy players go, especially ones who’ve played on the first team for a while.
I know for the good of the club he needs to let go, but at the same time I feel sad to see him go, I am less convinced he is as much of an issue as AWB was in terms of lack of quality, but he is sellable and we do need to sign more midfielders.
Probably a good move for all involved, I like him but he should not be in the utd first team if we hope to win the league or CL.
