Mc Tominay has been linked with the Old Trafford exit and Antonio Conte's Napoli are wanting to bring the Scotland international in for the campaign. Mc Tominay has just one year remaining on his contract with United, although the club has the option to extend it for a further 12 months. The 27-year-old is a product of United's academy and has made over 250 appearances for the club since making his debut in April 2017. Fulham had showed concrete interest in signing the Scottish international over the past few days, and it's thought they were near to completing a deal to bring the midfielder to Craven Cottage on a full-time basis.

Mc Tominay has just one year remaining on his contract with United, although the club has the option to extend it for a further 12 month The deal for Pellistri would include a sell-on clause believed to be around 40 per cent. Pellistri was bought from Uruguayan club Penarol for £9m in 2020, but has only started four times for United. The midfielder has spent three spells on loan in Spain, since.
