Manchester United Could Make Big Profits If Scott McTominay Wins Serie A and Is Sold

Manchester United has the opportunity to gain financial benefits from his own former players when they prepare to face Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Tuesday morning. In the midst of tight competition for the top four, details of the transfer clause Scott McTominay emerged publicly and could potentially impact the club’s summer planning.

Chelsea’s draw against Burnley gives Manchester United the opportunity to go three points ahead if they can beat Everton. But the match was far from easy. In the previous meeting at Old Trafford, Everton won despite playing more than half of the match with 10 men after Idrissa Gana Gueye received a red card.

United’s situation is different now. Michael Carrick took over from Ruben Amorim and is undefeated as interim manager. The target is clear, securing Champions League tickets by finishing in the top four. This achievement will greatly determine the direction of the club’s spending in the upcoming transfer market.

Scott McTominay Sale Clause

Scott McTominay’s name has been linked with Manchester United again, not because of plans to return directly, but rather a clause that still benefits his old club. The Scottish midfielder has appeared impressive since joining Naples in 2024.

Together with Antonio Conte’s team, McTominay helped Napoli win the Scudetto last season while ensuring a return to League Champion. His performance sparked talks of a new contract. The player’s agent, Colin Murdock, has reportedly met club officials to discuss improving the deal.

The new contract will certainly dampen speculation returning to Premier League soon. However, according to the Manchester Evening News report, Manchester United is entitled to 10 percent of the sale value if Napoli one day decides to let him go.

Napoli recruited McTominay for a fee of just over 25 million pounds or around IDR 500 billion when he moved to the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona. If you look at his contribution to the league title, his value has the potential to increase significantly if he is sold this summer, although this opportunity is said to be not great.

For Manchester United, this clause could be an injection of additional funds without having to sell their active players. In the context of the hunt for Champions League tickets and determining a permanent manager, such additional income could help flexibility in transfer strategies.

The Future of Andre Onana

Meanwhile, the situation Andrew Onan also on the radar. The goalkeeper from Cameroon is currently on loan at Trabzonspor. Even though he appeared convincing at the start of his loan period, his performance has recently declined.

Turkish media reported that Trabzonspor are not prioritizing permanent signings in the summer. Coach Fatih Tekke continued to provide personal support to Onana after the 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce, the club’s first defeat since the turn of the year which dimmed their slim championship hopes. Onana was even trusted to appear again when he visited Gaziantep headquarters.

Onana’s contract with Manchester United is still valid until 2028. However, it is not clear whether he will be part of the long-term plans when a new permanent manager is appointed. There is also news linking him with a possible return to Inter Milan, the club he took to the 2023 Champions League final before moving to Old Trafford.

With the top four still open and a number of transfer clauses that could bring in revenue, Manchester United’s summer has the potential to be busy. Decisions on the pitch in the next few weeks will determine how aggressively they move in the transfer market.
