Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay faces a potential loss of nearly £1 million after investing in a failed firm associated with his fiancée’s family.
Fortress Capital Partners, led by McTominay’s fiancée Cameron Reading and her father Ashley, declared bankruptcy last year, affecting 230 people, including McTominay.
Reportedly borrowing from major investor firms and lending at higher interest rates, the company faced debts totaling £18 million.
The Readings, including McTominay, heavily invested in luxury properties across the UK, Dubai, Spain, and Portugal, with McTominay contributing £1 million to a property in Portugal.
Administrators suggest that investors might receive only 10 pence for every £1 invested, implying McTominay could recoup just £100,000 of his initial investment.
Cameron Reading, 23, McTominay’s fiancée, who owes the firm £1.2 million, faces criticism for showcasing a lavish lifestyle on social media, including extravagant holidays and expensive hotels.
As of now, there has been no comment from the Manchester United star regarding the incident.
