The 27-year-old has spent his entire club career to date at Old Trafford, having first become involved with the United youth system aged just five. He is therefore part of the 'homegrown' quota in United's current Premier League squad. However, according to The Athletic, Mc Tominay is now poised to leave United for Napoli as the two clubs have reached an agreement after lengthy talks. It is claimed that Napoli will pay a transfer fee in the region of €30million (£25. 4m) for Mc Tominay, who has featured as a substitute in all three of United's games so far this season. The deal is also said to include a sell-on clause, entitling United to a potential share of Mc Tominay's next transfer fee should he be sold by Napoli. Scott Mc Tominay is reportedly set to leave Man United after more than 20 years with the club Midfielder Mc Tominay, 27, has played more than 250 United games since his debut in 2017 Mc Tominay's last appearance for United came on Saturday in a 2-1 defeat at Brighton. Fellow Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour played in that game too. Gilmour has also been linked with interest from Napoli this summer but it is said that Mc Tominay recently became the Italian club's priority midfield target. Napoli finished 10th in Serie A last season, having won the title in the previous campaign. They have since signed Leonardo Spinazzola, Rafa Marin, Alessandro Buongiorno and David Neres. Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is also close to sealing a move to Naples.

Ugarte has not featured in either of PSG's first two games of the new Ligue 1 season, having made it clear that he wants to join United.
