Wheat bids farewell to Manchester United and goes to Napoli! Juventus are only on loan, Manchester United and Chelsea talk about Sancho for Raheem Sterling

Manchester United have agreed to allow 27-year-old Scott · McTominay to travel to Napoli for a medical check-up, and the €30 million transfer is just one step away from being completed when Wheat agrees personal contract details with the Serie A club.

As for Academy midfielder Scott McTominay, who has been dubbed the "soul of the new team", Manchester United's view is that they are not willing to sell, but there is no guarantee of the playing time he wants, so in the end the two sides have to part ways. Wheat is a Manchester United Academy player, meaning his sale represents "pure profit" and will help the club comply with Premier League and UEFA financial regulations.

Scott McTominay saved Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag with 10 goals last season, and a 2-1 defeat to Brighton was his farewell game. Antonio Conte has pledged to let him play more, with Napoli beating Champions League side Bologna 3-0 at home on Saturday and home to Parma next time, and if all goes well, the wheat will be in the picture.

Another Manchester United Academy midfielder, Hannibal · Magebri, has passed a medical with Championship side Burnley and will complete his transfer. The Reds are now aiming to send away £73million winger Jadon Sancho before the summer window closes on Friday.

David · Orunstein, an authoritative transfer expert at The Athletic, has confirmed that Jadon Sancho could leave, with Juventus and Chelsea as potential next homes. United are in talks with both clubs to sell them outright or to buy them out there, with the latter being a mandatory buy-out obligation rather than an option.

Juventus were interested in Jadon Sancho back in the winter transfer window in January, and the latter has agreed to join. However, Juve only want to go on loan for one season, with an option to buy it out next summer, but it is not mandatory. In other words, if Sancho does not perform well, the Bianconeri have the option to return the goods. Manchester United did not accept the request for a buy-out clause that would be automatically activated anyway.

As a result, United have opened tentative talks with Chelsea to send a player to the Red Devils if the two teams are traded, with England winger Raheem Sterling currently under discussion in a swap with Jadon Sancho.

The 29-year-old earns a whopping £325,000 a week at Chelsea and Jadon Sancho earns £300,000 a week at Manchester United, so the 'Happy Boys' could ask the Blues to compensate for the income gap, with up to three years left on his contract, complicating a swap.

Manchester United will also have to consider whether this exchange makes sense for the club's finances and the squad. Well-informed sources say the two sides will fully assess the potential deal ahead of Friday's transfer deadline. Raheem Sterling has supported United since childhood, and although he has played for bitter rivals Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, he has never scored in 26 games against the Red Devils.

Manchester United stressed that they are only prepared to make deals that will help comply with the calculation of next year's profitability and sustainability rules. United already have two wingers on the left and right flanks, with Bruno· Fernandes and Mason· Mason also available as a cameo on the right.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United have confirmed that they do not plan to bring in Sterling's Chelsea team-mate Ben · Chilwell. While Chelsea want to sell the England left-back, while United are currently missing their left-backs Luke · Shaw and Tyrell · Malacia due to injury, Chilwell is too injury-prone and the risk of bringing in is too high.

Manchester United right-back Diogu · Darlow has been playing at left-back for the new season, and new signing Mazraoui can also play in that position. 17-year-old left-back Harry · Armas was promoted to the first team after impressing on the pre-season tour. The club expect Luke · Shaw to recover from a calf injury next month, with Malaysia likely to recover from a knee problem by then. Two of United's left-backs were also injured at the start of the season last year, with discussions with Chelsea over the loan of left-backs Mark · Cucurella. However, Ten Hag eventually signed Sergio Reguilon, who played only half a season before being sent back to Tottenham.
