Man Utd manager Ten Hag: McTominay loss was unwanted

In August, United sold the Scot to Napoli, and since then he has quickly made an impact in Italy.

"I am very happy for Scott," said Ten Hag.

However, Ten Hag is clear that he would prefer to have not  seen McTominay leave United.

"As I said when he left, I didn't want this, but these are the rules that the club needs to adhere to," he said, referring to the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability laws.

"I would even say that the rules are bad, but that is the situation that was created by it. It forced us to make this decision."
