THE UNKNOWN HERO: Scott McTominay becomes the ‘scapegoat’ as Napoli agree £25m deal that could help Man Utd complete Manuel Ugarte signing.
A fee of £25million has been agreed between the two clubs, with the Red Devils set to receive a percentage of the fee should he leave the Italian side in the future.
Scott McTominay is set to join Napoli for £25m
Manuel Ugarte is set to replace McTominay at Old Trafford
Both Man Utd and Napoli are now waiting to get the green light from the player.
McTominay, who has been the subject of interest from Fulham this summer, sees his deal expire at Old Trafford come the end of the season.
The club have an option to extend his stay by 12 months but would rather cash-in.
McTominay’s sale will go down as “pure profit” as he is from the United academy.
This will help them comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The Athletic claim Napoli chief Giovanni Manna has been in Manchester this week to strike a deal for McTominay.
