Scott McTominay has touched down in Naples ahead of completing his Manchester United exit.

The 27-year-old is set to join Napoli in a £25million deal with the move set to be announced imminently.

Scott McTominay‘s exit has made space in Erik ten Hag’s squad for Manuel Ugarte to complete his £42m move from Paris Saint-Germain.

It will be a bittersweet moment as McTominay completes his Napoli deal, with the Scotland international rising through the ranks at United since the age of five.

But it seems that McTominay is in good hands after he received a rapturous welcome after landing in Italy.

He has shown time and time again at United that he can be a great goalscorer when he arrives late into the box, hopefully at Napoli he will be given a regular first-team spot to shine.

And, with a 10 percent sell-on clause in his contract, McTominay could still earn United a few more million if he secures another big move in the years to come.
