This summer has already been a huge transfer window for Man United, with the Red Devils bringing in quality players.
Erik ten Hag will surely be delighted with the club’s ambition and although Leny Yoro is currently injured, the Dutchman can still enjoy the talents of Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
Meanwhile, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his board will need to be working on some departures to balance the books, and one name that has consistently cropped up over the past 12 months as a player who could fit the bill at Old Trafford is the midfield dynamo . , Scott McTominay.
Napoli want Scott McTominay
The Scotland international always gives his best when called upon, and has been a match-winner on more than one occasion for Ten Hag.
Still, the manager must clearly feel he has better options in midfield, with McTominay seemingly available for sale for some time now if any interested clubs are willing to match United’s valuation.
This still seems to be the problem this summer.

According to Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth, writing on X (formerly Twitter), Napoli have made an offer of around €25m for the player, but are still short of the €30m United are believed to want for bring to the negotiation table.
The Serie A giants are understood to be looking for a permanent deal or a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the moment.
With a week to go until the transfer window closes, there’s plenty of time to get a deal over the line if that’s what all parties want.
It may require some concessions on all sides, but if there’s a will, there’s a way.
