According to David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano, Man Utd is considered to have successfully sold Scott McTominay this summer.
Specifically, journalist David Ornstein confirmed: ” Napoli agreed a deal with Man Utd for Scott McTominay. All parties are satisfied with the terms related to the player.
The price is around 30 million euros, Man Utd attached a clause to receive a percentage of the proceeds from selling McTominay in the future. Important for Man Utd’s compliance with Financial Fair Play Law.
Man Utd’s signing of Manuel Ugarte will be aided by McTominay’s departure.”
McTominay will leave Man Utd this summer.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano wrote: “Napoli are close to a deal for Scott McTominay, not linked to the Billy Gilmour case as the negotiations are separate.
Manchester United have accepted a new offer worth more than €30m and negotiations are also moving into the final stages on the player’s side. The deal is almost done.”
So, after all, McTominay has played his last match for Man Utd. He will leave to make way for the Red Devils to welcome Ugarte.
EXCLUSIVE: Man Utd speak out about Brentford’s Ivan Toney deal
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg revealed Manchester United’s intentions regarding the Ivan Toney deal.
In the 1-2 defeat to Arsenal in pre-season, Rasmus Hojlund was injured and will be out for about 6 weeks .
Hojlund is currently Man United’s only centre-forward. Last season, he scored 14 goals in all competitions.
They did indeed sign Joshua Zirkzee this summer, but he is not a pure centre-forward .
Therefore, Brentford’s Ivan Toney is one of the options being considered by Man Utd.
Man Utd do not recruit Toney.
Things got even more unpredictable when Toney was left out of Brentford’s squad for the opening match of the 2024/25 Premier League.
“There’s a lot going on with Ivan Toney and there’s some interest from other teams. Because of all that, we’ve decided not to include him in the squad,” said coach Thomas Frank.
However, it seems that Toney’s destination is likely to be Saudi Arabia.
Specifically, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, Man United “did not consider” approaching Toney before the market ended.
Plettenberg claims that the biggest interest has come from Saudi Arabia, with the England international likely to leave the Premier League for a move to the Saudi Pro League.
