Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is Antonio Conte’s priority at Napoli

Manchester United had an active summer transfer window but are still looking for a midfielder and left-back

Budgetary restrictions mean the Red Devils must raise funds before they can bring in new recruits. Scott McTominay is a potential option to be sold.

According to journalist Alfredo Pedulla, the Scotland international is Antonio Conte’s priority at Napoli. 

United previously turned down a loan bid from the Serie A outfit for the 27-year-old. 

Manager Erik ten Hag has already admitted that he wants the midfielder to stay at Old Trafford.

McTominay’s future in Manchester was also a subject of debate last summer, but he ended up playing an important role last season. 

The Scot made 43 appearances across all competitions in 2023-24, bagging 10 goals and three assists.

With a year left on his current contract, the Red Devils are willing to cash in on him this summer. 

However, they are not prepared to sell him cheap, as they rejected a £20 million bid from Fulham

United are holding out for a fee of around £30m for the 27-year-old. That valuation is unlikely to be met by any of his suitors and another year with United is a possibility.
