'I loved every minute' - Scott McTominay gives emotional goodbye speech after Manchester United exit

Scott McTominay has sat down in an interview to say goodbye to Manchester United fans to thank them for their excellent support and because he wanted to 'send his love'.

Academy graduate McTominay was promoted to the United first-team squad by Jose Mourinho in April 2017 and he leaves the club for Napoli having made 255 appearances.

United have received a fixed fee of €30.5million (£25.7m) for McTominay and they have inserted a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the deal with Napoli for the midfielder.
