Scott McTominay: What’s happened since he left Man Utd?

Six weeks have passed since Scott McTominay bid a permanent farewell to Manchester United, the club where he'd spent 22 of his almost 28 years on this planet. Despite scoring ten goals across all competitions last season, McTominay wasn't a regular starter for Erik ten Hag and his contributions weren't enough to convince the manager to keep him at Old Trafford. Even though Ten Hag later said he would have ideally preferred not to let McTominay go, United knew they needed to sell during the summer transfer window if they were going to bring new players in and home-grown sales are much more valuable when it comes to the Premier League's increasingly strict financial regulations. McTominay, who was the subject of a rejected £30m bid from West Ham in 2023, was earmarked as someone who could b...

McTominay on the Verge of Finalizing Napoli Switch

The deal needed an extra day to be completed in all its elements, but Napoli are indeed signing Scott McTominay from Manchester United. The midfielder arrived in Italy on Thursday and will be announced as a new addition on Friday. According to Il Mattino, the Partenopei paid €30M for the Scotsman. He’ll earn €3M for the next four years. The Serie A team will have an option to extend his contract for one more season. McTominay quickly accepted the move when Napoli and Antonio Conte came calling. However, the negotiation took a while. The Reds Devils needed to snap up Manuel Ugarte first. The Azzurri were determined to onboard one more starting-caliber midfielder to their rotation. The 27-year-old has spent his entire career at Old Trafford and has been a regular for the past five sea...

Man Utd send clear Scott McTominay transfer message as Napoli plot bid

Manchester United have told Napoli to make them an offer they cannot refuse for Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay. Napoli are in talks with United and boss Antonio Conte wants McTominay to boost his midfield options. The Serie A side would prefer a loan move for McTominay, even though United feel he is worth at least £25million. McTominay, 27, has just 11 months left on his contract, although United have the option to extend it until 2026. United rejected a £20m offer from Fulham for McTominay and they are adamant they will not let him leave unless the deal is right for them. Although Erik ten Hag may not see McTominay as an automatic starter in his new-look side, he proved his worth to United last season, scoring 10 goals. United will happily keep McTominay if they do not receive a s...
