This is what Man united board do that I don’t like,the earlier we kick against this the better it will be for all of us,This player was crucial against Fulham now you want to sell Him”, Man united legend Ole Gunnar Kicks against United board decision to sell £30m who was impressive against Fulham
A Manchester United legend has voiced strong opposition to the club’s recent decision to sell one of their key players, especially after a standout performance against Fulham. The player in question, valued at £30 million, played a crucial role in the match, and the legend believes that selling him would be a mistake that could harm the team in the long run.
Manchester United are currently in the market for a new defensive midfielder as the transfer window draws to a close. Their top target is Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte, a highly-regarded Uruguay international. However, PSG is demanding a hefty £51 million fee, a price that United are reluctant to meet. Despite this, the club remains hopeful of negotiating a lower fee, with agent Jorge Mendes working tirelessly to facilitate the deal.
In order to make room for Ugarte or another potential signing, United may need to offload one of their current midfielders. Scott McTominay has emerged as the most likely candidate to leave the club. Reports from Tutto Mercato Web indicate that Napoli is interested in acquiring the Scotland international, but United’s £30 million valuation could prove to be a stumbling block in negotiations.
To find a compromise, United are willing to consider a loan deal for McTominay, with an obligation for Napoli to buy him outright next summer. However, Napoli has shown little interest in this arrangement, making a deal uncertain at this stage.
McTominay, a product of United’s youth system, has struggled to secure a regular spot in Erik ten Hag’s starting lineup, and his future at the club looks increasingly uncertain with the pursuit of a new defensive midfielder. While Napoli is one potential destination, McTominay has also attracted interest from other clubs, including Fulham, who recently had a £20 million bid rejected. Despite this, Fulham may return with an improved offer.
It’s clear that McTominay’s future at Manchester United is in jeopardy, especially if the club manages to sign Ugarte or another holding midfielder like Burnley’s Sander Berge, who is also on their radar. During the Premier League opener against Fulham, McTominay only played for 11 minutes as a substitute, but he made a solid impact, completing all his passes and winning his only aerial duel. Despite his contributions, the prospect of a move away from Old Trafford remains a strong possibility.
