Scott McTominay, as his departure from Manchester United nears, was presented with a heartfelt gift by a dedicated fan. The 27-year-old midfielder, poised for a move to Italian giants Napoli in a £25million deal, is set to end his 22-year journey with the Red Devils, a journey that began when he joined the club at just five years old.
In a poignant moment, McTominay was handed a bracelet by a fan as he left Old Trafford, potentially for the last time. The emotional exchange saw McTominay exclaim, “No way,” when he received the bracelet, and he expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you very much, that’s so sweet. I’m gonna put it on. That will stay with me forever.” The touching gesture was followed by a photo with the elated supporter, capturing the significance of the moment.
Responses from fans on social media reflected the sentiment of the occasion. One user commented, “Top guy man, top professional. ,” while another expressed, “Respect Scott .” A third added, “Don’t make me cry bro ,” highlighting the emotional impact of McTominay’s impending departure.
McTominay’s contract with Manchester United runs until the end of the season, with the club holding an option to extend it by another year. However, they prefer to complete the sale before the transfer window closes on Friday. His departure represents a “pure profit” for United, as he came through the club’s academy. During his tenure, McTominay made 255 appearances for the club, netting 29 goals.
