Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund could provide a significant financial boost for Manchester United if Napoli qualify for the Champions League next season.
McTominay and Hojlund are aiming for a Champions League spot next season with Napoli.
Manchester United are closely watching the race for the top four in Serie A with particular anticipation. According to the English media, if Napoli officially qualify for the Champions League next season, the Italian team will have to activate the buyout clause for Rasmus Hojlund for around £38 million.
Hojlund joined Napoli on loan in the summer of 2025. Antonio Conte's team paid £5.2 million upfront, with an option to buy if they qualified for the Champions League.
Napoli are currently second in Serie A with 70 points. They could achieve their goal this weekend if they beat Bologna and AS Roma fail to defeat Parma.
Throughout that journey, McTominay has become a standout player. The Scottish midfielder has experienced a strong resurgence since leaving Old Trafford to join Napoli in the summer of 2024.
Although they couldn't compete for the Scudetto with Inter Milan this season, Conte's team still maintained a top position thanks to the consistent performance of the former Manchester United player.
The £38 million transfer fee from Hojlund is seen as a crucial resource for Manchester United's squad overhaul this summer. The Old Trafford club is targeting a number of midfielders to replace Casemiro, including Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba, and Joao Gomes.
Hojlund joined MU from Atalanta for a fee of £72 million. However, the Danish striker failed to live up to expectations and was gradually left out of the team's plans after Benjamin Sesko joined.
At Napoli, Hojlund rediscovered his form with 14 goals this season. Speaking back in March, the 23-year-old striker admitted he once thought his career at Manchester United was over.
