Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his disappointment over the sale of Scott McTominay to Napoli.
The Dutch coach revealed that he did not want to see the midfielder leave Old Trafford but was forced to do so due to financial constraints.
According to Ten Hag, the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules played a significant role in McTominay’s departure. The club had to adhere to these regulations, which limited their spending and ultimately led to the sale of the Scottish international.
Despite McTominay’s departure, Ten Hag has acknowledged the player’s impressive performances at Napoli. He has praised McTominay’s contributions to the Italian club and expressed his belief that he could have been a valuable asset to United.
However, the FFP rules left United with little choice but to sell McTominay, highlighting the challenges faced by Premier League clubs in navigating the financial landscape of modern football.
