After more than two decades at Manchester United having joined the youth program at age five midfielder Scott McTominay transferred to Napoli in a 30 million euros ($33 million) deadline deal on Friday. The Scotland international was one of United's most successful academy graduates, registering 253 appearances over seven years in the first team, with 29 goals. United coach Erik ten Hag expressed dismay over English Premier League rules that he said encourage the sale of homegrown players. I wouldn't prefer to lose him because he's Manchester United in everything, Ten Hag said. He was so important for our team, for Manchester United, but unfortunately it's the rules. We have to discuss the rules. When you have to sell and obviously homegrown and academy players bring more value, that's not the right thing to do. But I think for everyone, for all parts it's a good deal. He's happy with it. At Napoli, McTominay will play under Antonio Conte, who was instrumental in signing Romelu
Two games into the Premier League season, and the scrutiny is already back on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. Joao Pedro scored in the fifth minute of injury time to give Brighton a 2-1 home win over United on Saturday in a game that showed that the inconsistencies that plagued Ten Hag's team last season still haven't been eradicated. After United failed to clear a corner, Pedro headed home a cross from Simon Adingra to secure a second straight victory for Brighton at the start of its first season under 31-year-old coach Fabian Hurzeler. The two leading title rivals also made it two wins out of two with shows of strength. Erling Haaland scored his seventh Premier League hat trick in Manchester City's 4-1 win over Ipswich, while Arsenal earned a 2-0 win at Aston Villa a team it lost to twice last season before losing the title by two points to City.

Joshua Zirkzee marked his debut for Manchester United by coming off the bench and scoring an 87th-minute goal to give his team a 1-0 victory over Fulham on the opening night of the Premier League season on Friday. The Netherlands striker poked out his left foot to guide home a cross by fellow substitute Alejandro Garnacho at Old Trafford. Zirkzee, who joined from Bologna for a reported $47 million last month, was one of three offseason signings to make their first appearances for United, along with defenders Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt.
