Manchester United Star Player MCTOMINAY has officially left Manchester United to join this Shocking Rival
It has been claimed that Manchester United has agreed to sell midfielder Scott McTominay.
The midfielder has been closely associated with a summer transfer away from Old Trafford. His contract runs until 2025, with a further 12 months option.
Played 12 minutes as a substitute in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Brighton, the 27-year-old appeared in United’s first two Premier League games of the season.
United now decided, nonetheless, to let him depart the team.
According to the Athletic, Napoli has struck agreements with them on the McTominay purchase for a sum of about €30 million.
With the Red Devils including a sell-on provision into the contract, McTominay’s agreement conditions with the Italian side would terminate a 22-year association with United for the Scotland international.
Given McTominay is an Academy graduate, his sale will be recorded as “pure profit” in the balance sheets, therefore helping United in their quest to avoid fines related to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
For the midfielder this summer, the club turned down several bids from rival teams, including one said to be worth almost £20 million from Fulham.
Last season, he was United’s joint-third highest striker, collecting 10 goals in all competitions mostly via his late rushes into the box and aerial prowess. He also sporadically played centre forward.
