Scott McTominay given warm Napoli welcome as he arrives to complete Man United exit

Scott McTominay received a warm welcome as he arrived in Naples ahead of his proposed £25million move to Napoli.

The Scotland international has been on Manchester United's books since he was a kid and made over 250 first team appearances for the club across a seven-and-a-half-year period. 

He's now set to move on, and as he walked through the exit doors at Naples International Airport on Thursday, the 27-year-old was absolutely swarmed with eager fans wanting to get a glimpse of their new signing. 

McTominay, who is expected to undergo a medical examination this afternoon before officially putting pen to paper on a long-term contract, can be seen addressing onlookers from a vehicle shortly after by saying, "Thank you guys. Forza Napoli."

In other news, Napoli won't be signing Billy Gilmour from Brighton as they had initially anticipated.

That's because the English Premier League outfit received the news that summer recruit Matt O'Riley is set for a spell on the treatment table following an ankle injury picked up during his Brighton debut earlier this week. 

And with the transfer window closing on Friday, the Seagulls have opted to keep hold of the midfielder.
