The Scottish midfielder is ending his 22-year career with Manchester United. He emerged from the club’s youth academy and has signed a long-term deal with Napoli. Manchester United will retain a 10% sell-on clause in the agreement.
There is a possibility that McTominay will make his debut for Napoli this weekend in a Serie A match against Parma. The club confirmed the news with a statement expressing their best wishes for McTominay’s new chapter in Italy. The former United boss has emphasized McTominay’s importance and likened him to cult hero Darren Fletcher, praising his character, training, and playing style.
He concluded that McTominay is following the same path as Fletcher did at United. The discussion then moves to Man United’s summer business and comparisons between McTominay and Fletcher. It is noted that McTominay is seen as having similar attributes to Fletcher and has shown promising performances.
