Napoli stance, £23m offer, Manuel Ugarte need - Scott McTominay Man United transfer latest

Scott McTominay is a man in demand amid uncertainty over his Manchester United future.

Fulham made three bids for the Scotland international this summer. However, their final offer was worth £23million and United are understood to be holding out for £30million to sanction a move.

McTominay, 27, has 12 months left to run on his contract at Old Trafford, although the club does hold an option with that agreement. Napoli are said to be interested in his services.

The Manchester Evening News understands United are 'open' to selling the player and
