Ten Hag admitted that while he's "happy for" McTominay, he would have preferred to retain him at Manchester United, noting that the player "has Manchester United in his veins."
Despite this, the deal is seen as beneficial for all parties involved, with Napoli securing a versatile and experienced midfielder.
The transfer is reportedly valued at around €30.5 million, and McTominay is expected to sign a four-year contract with the Italian club.
This move marks the end of McTominay's long tenure at Manchester United, where he made 255 appearances and scored 26 goals, including 10 in the last season. The Scottish international has also played 52 times for his national team, scoring nine goals.
As Manchester United prepares for their upcoming match against Liverpool this weekend, Ten Hag acknowledged that McTominay's departure is part of the realities of football.
Meanwhile, McTominay could make his debut for Napoli in their Serie A clash against Parma.
