Manchester United are battling for a place in the top four this season, and in addition to securing Champions League football, they would also be significantly strengthened financially and could use that money to sanction a squad rebuild.
Midfield is expected to be a key area of focus for the recruitment team at Old Trafford as Manuel Ugarte has failed to live up to expectations in an already thin line-up. Now that Casemiro is also leaving this summer, there is a need for one or two signings.
Offside has reported Manchester United are considering offering Scott McTominay a surprise return to Old Trafford. In their attempt to do so, the Red Devils are said to be willing to pay Napoli almost £70 million.
After joining the Serie A giants in 2024, McTominay has revived his career well and is currently one of the world’s best box-to-box midfielders, putting in a good performance in the final third with 10 goals and four assists in competitions.
McTominay the ideal signing for United
Scott McTominay would be the perfect signing for Manchester United during the summer transfer window, especially as he was at the club not too long ago and knows several players, the demands and the Premier League as a whole very well.
It wouldn’t be remiss to think that his departure from Old Trafford went against the wishes of several figures at the club, and was perhaps a decision made by the Red Devils as they were in serious need of balancing their finances a few years ago.
McTominay was also a key source of goals for Man United under Erik ten Hag and was one of their better performing players under the Dutchman. After going from strength to strength at Napoli, it is highly likely that his fame will increase at United.
His abilities in midfield don’t need much introduction and at 29 he has enough in him to continue at the top level for at least the medium term, while Napoli’s handling of players could also work favorably for Manchester United.
The Italians are not the kind of club to hold back big offers, so £70 million for McTominay, which guarantees them a huge profit, could be seen as favorable considering he is 30, and therefore makes his future return to England an easier proposition.
