Napoli complete £26m deal with Man Utd to sign homegrown midfield star Scott McTominay – perhaps paving way for Red Devils to bring in PSG’s Manuel Ugarte

Manchester United may recruit Manuel Ugarte from PSG if Scott McTominay’s move to Napoli is completed.

It might be a group of one, a group of two, a group of three, or a group of four.

The 27-year-old has spent his entire club career at Old Trafford, beginning in the United youth system at the age of five.

Scott McTominay is likely to quit Manchester United after more than 20 years with the club.

As a member of United’s Premier League squad, he fits the ‘homegrown’ qualification.

However, McTominay is allegedly set to leave United for Napoli after the two clubs reached an agreement after protracted discussions, with the Scot negotiating his departure.

McTominay, a 27-year-old midfielder, has played over 250 appearances for United since his debut in 2017.

McTominay, a 27-year-old midfielder, has made more than 250 appearances for United since his debut in 2017.

According to The Athletic, the agreement includes a sell-on option that permits United to get a share of McTominay’s next transfer fee if he is sold by Napoli.

Napoli showed interest in Gilmour this summer, but McTominay is now their priority midfield target.

Napoli finished eighth in Serie A last season after winning the title the season before.

Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, 31, is also close to finalising a deal to Napoli this summer.

They have since signed Leonardo Spinazzola, Rafa Marin, Alessandro Buongiorno, and David Neres.

Selling McTominay should allow United to clear space and funds for their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte.
