By Robert Mutasi
Scott McTominay, the Scottish midfielder who has been a mainstay in the Manchester United club, has said goodbye to the club's fans as he prepares to start the next chapter of his football career.
In a powerful message shared on social media, McTominay expressed his gratitude to the supporters and reiterated his unwavering commitment to follow the club's success from afar.
"Will I continue to follow Man Utd? Always!" McTominay wrote. "I want to see the club win, I want to see us do really well, and I'll be watching too. Thanks for being with me, and I've enjoyed every minute."
McTominay's departure marks the end of an era for the 27-year-old, who joined Manchester United's youth academy at the age of five.
He continued through the ranks and made his debut in May 2017 under then manager José Mourinho.
Over the years, McTominay has earned a reputation as a hard-working, versatile midfielder known for his tenacity, form and leadership on the field.
During his time at Old Trafford, McTominay made over 200 appearances for the club, contributing goals and key assists, including a memorable goal in a 6–2 win over Leeds United in December 2020.
His performance earned him the attention of fans and teammates, and was also called up many times to the Scottish national team, where he has also been an important figure.
Despite his dedication and passion, McTominay has found himself facing increased competition for a starting spot in Manchester United's midfield in recent seasons.
With the arrival of players like Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, as well as the emergence of young talent, his playing time was even less.
This summer, speculation about his future increased, with several clubs reportedly interested in acquiring his services.
While McTominay's second move is yet to be confirmed, reports suggest he is on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs, including teams from Europe.
Wherever he lands, he is expected to bring the same level of commitment and professionalism that has defined his life at Manchester United.
McTominay's departure is a heartbreaking moment for Manchester United fans, who have seen him develop from a fine academy player to a reliable member of the first team.
His heartfelt message and pledge to continue to support the club highlights the strong bond he has with Manchester United, a bond that will no doubt endure, no matter where his life takes him.
As Manchester United look to the future, McTominay's legacy will remain - a reminder of the club's proud tradition of nurturing homegrown talent.
