      NAPOLI are closing in on a deal for Manchester United star Scott McTominay, according to reports.A fee of £25million has been agreed between the two clubs, with the Red Devils set to receive a percentage of the fee should he leave the Italian side in the future.Scott McTominay is set to join Napoli for £25mCredit: GettyManuel Ugarte is set to replace McTominay at Old TraffordCredit: GettyBoth Man Utd and Napoli are now waiting to get the green light from the player. McTominay, who has been the subject of interest from Fulham this summer, sees his deal expire at Old Trafford come the end of the season.The club have an option to extend his stay by 12 months but would rather cash-in.McTominay’s sale will go down as “pure profit” as he is from the United academy.READ MORE ON MAN UTDThis will help them comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.The Athletic claim Napoli chief Giovanni Manna has been in Manchester this week to strike a deal for McTominay.The 27-year-old Scot has been on the books of United since he was aged five.He has played 255 times for the club, scoring 29 goals.

Well played Amad, we are with you.BRUNO FERNANDES – 7Cut a frustrated figure up front for Man Utd in the first half before thinking he’d bagged an assist when Alejandro Garnacho tapped home, only for it to be ruled out by VAR.Just wasn’t his day today, but still created chances for his team and looked the most likely source of a winner for the Red Devils.SUBS:JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (MASON MOUNT, 45) – 4His only real action of note in the game was denying his team the winning goal.Alejandro Garnacho had done the hard work and was about to give Man Utd the lead, only for Zirkzee to slide in and see it ruled out for offside.His mistake did display an eagerness to score, but it was an error which cost his side nonetheless.ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (MARCUS RASHFORD, 65) – 6Did his job well in replacing Marcus Rashford and adding the end product which was needed by Erik ten Hag, but was robbed of a goal by his teammate as aforementioned.Looks a danger whenever he plays on that left hand side, but after the goal that never was he was well defended for the remaining minutes.SCOTT MCTOMINAY (BRUNO FERNANDES, 79) – 5Bought on as a target man once again to try and get the winner for United, he wasn’t really provided with many opportunities in just over 10 minutes to really do that.MATTHIJS DE LIGT (HARRY MAGUIRE, 79) – 5Wasn’t really given enough of a chance to show what he is all about, but it’s minutes in the tank for the new man and he did what was asked of him after coming off the bench.ANTONY (AMAD DIALLO, 90) – 5In fairness to him, made a good run as soon as he entered the pitch and crossed well for Scott McTominay.However, he wasn’t given enough time to make any significant impact.

      Armando Broja’s loan transfer from Chelsea to Ipswich on brink of COLLAPSING after injury is revealed in medical

      by

      ARMANDO BROJA’S loan move from Chelsea to Ipswich is on the brink of collapse after his medical revealed signs of an Achilles injury.The two clubs agreed a deal for the striker to spend the season at Ipswich earlier this week.Armando Broja’s proposed move to Ipswich is at risk of collapsingCredit: RexBut SunSport has learned that the player’s medical has thrown up complications.Ipswich have not walked away from the deal completely but are understood to now be looking at other options. Broja’s medical problems are a huge blow for Chelsea, who are seeking to offload at least 15 players before the transfer window shuts on Friday.The Albanian international has been told he has no future at Stamford Bridge under Enzo Maresca.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHowever, the club may now struggle to sell him despite interest from Everton. Chelsea had also agreed a clause with Ipswich for them to buy Broja for £30m next summer if Kieran McKenna’s side stay in the Premier League. As a homegrown player Broja’s transfer fee could be registered as pure profit by Chelsea.This would help them comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules next year. Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSBroja’s Chelsea career has been plagued by injuries. The 22-year-old missed much of last season with a knee problem and failed to make an impact during the second half of the campaign on loan at Fulham. Chelsea were approached for comment.  Jamie Carragher says ‘players should stop joining Chelsea’ and ‘sign a four-year deal at a proper club’ in stunning rantChelsea ratings vs ServetteCHELSEA sealed their first win under new manager Enzo Maresca as they beat Swiss minnows Servette.Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke got the second-half goals to give the Blues a commanding lead in their Uefa Conference League play-off double header.But it was far from convincing with Chelsea BOOED OFF at half-time.Here’s how SunSport’s Jack Rosser rated the Blues stars…Filip Jorgensen – 7Made some very smart saves – especially late on as the visitors caused problems and came close to finding a goal to get back in.Axel Disasi – 6Kept things quiet down Chelsea’s right hand side having been started out of position at right-back. The Frenchman did not offer much going forwards but was more than solid enough defensively.Tosin Adarabioyo – 6An assured first start for the club since joining from Fulham on a free transfer. The defender was not caused any real problems and dominated in the air – a big reason Chelsea decided to snap him up.Benoit Badiashile – 6Solid enough defensively but looked awkward on the ball at times, especially when Chelsea were trying to pick a way through a solid midfield.Renato Veiga – 5Was given the task of moving inside from left-back and looked to struggle a lot at points, losing the ball cheaply on half way at one stage.Moises Caicedo – 5The midfielder was sent out in the holding role and hardly helped defensively by having Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Nkunku, a striker, ahead of him. Struggled to get a grip of midfield and dictate the game.Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 7A very encouraging full debut for the summer signing – neat and positive on the ball and created some good chances for those ahead of him.Pedro Neto – 6A first start for his new club and the winger made some very encouraging runs down the right hand side. Will take time to settle but looks a very good option.Christopher Nkunku – 6Rather fortunate to win the penalty as it looked a touch harsh but stepped up and converted well.Mykhailo Mudryk – 4The definition of all bark, no bite. The Ukrainian winger has pace to burn and a huge bag of tricks but neither help him make any significant impact on games.Continuing to play like that and Raheem Sterling might have a future here after all.Marc Guiu – 6Missed an absolute sitter to score his first goal for Chelsea.After working so hard through the first half, Guiu turned a tap in into a howler when putting what should have been an easy finish straight at the scrambling Servette keeper.
