Viral Report Sparks Chaos but Lacks Any Credible Source or Confirmation
A shocking report claiming Scott McTominay wants to return to Manchester United only if a mystery figure leaves has made rounds online—but it’s been confirmed as satirical and entirely fabricated.
The report suggested McTominay blamed one unnamed individual at United for both his and Wan-Bissaka’s exits and demanded their removal before triggering a supposed clause to rejoin the Red Devils from Napoli. However:
There is no verified clause in McTominay’s Napoli contract allowing a direct return to Old Trafford.
McTominay has never publicly made such a statement.
No major or credible outlet has reported this story—it originated from a satire platform.
The real situation: McTominay left United in August 2024 for £25.7 million, part of a tactical restructure. He’s thriving in Napoli’s midfield and hasn’t shown signs of unrest or exit desire.
This comes during a turbulent period for United, amid managerial uncertainty and transfer speculation, with Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko linked to the club and rumors swirling about Ruben Amorim’s future.
Bottom line: The McTominay saga is pure fiction—no clause, no ultimatum, no feud. Just another twist in the rumor mill frenzy at Old Trafford.
