BREAKING NEWS: Jadon Sancho has disclosed that he was coerced into leaving Manchester United against his will, revealing the identity of those who pressured him to exit the club.

Scott McTominay’s departure from Manchester United this summer was significantly influenced by his demand for a pay rise before agreeing to a new contract extension. According to journalist Miguel Delaney, this played a key role in the club’s decision to part ways with the Scottish international.

The club not only considered the potential financial gain from his transfer fee but also aimed to reduce wage expenses. Delaney explained that Manchester United’s financial decisions this summer were shaped by past player contracts and the strict limits imposed by the Profit and Sustainability Rules. These financial constraints led the club to make difficult choices, resulting in the sale of McTominay despite his value to the squad.

On the final day of the summer transfer window, Manchester United officially confirmed McTominay’s departure, bringing an end to his 22-year association with the club. To replace him, the club signed Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain. While manager Erik ten Hag was keen to keep McTominay, the club ultimately could not justify meeting his salary demands.

United recognized McTominay as a valuable player, often referred to as one of the best “12th men” in the squad due to his consistent ability to step up when needed. However, his status as a homegrown academy graduate also made him one of the club’s most marketable and sellable assets. Faced with the need to balance their finances, United saw his sale as a necessary step.

McTominay’s departure provided the club with a significant transfer fee and freed up salary space, allowing United to navigate their financial constraints more effectively. Despite leaving, McTominay leaves behind a strong legacy at Manchester United.

He made 255 appearances across all competitions, scoring 29 goals and providing eight assists. His contributions were instrumental in helping the team win one FA Cup and one Carabao Cup, as well as reaching the finals of both the Europa League and FA Cup.

 

Now, McTominay embarks on a new chapter in his career with Napoli, under the management of Antonio Conte. The move to Italy offers him a fresh challenge and the chance to compete for major honors in a new league. Conte’s
