MAN United’s Scott McTominay faces losing nearly £1million after investing in a failed firm run by his Wag’s dad.
Fortress Capital Partners went bust last year.
The firm, operated by McTominay’s fiancée Cameron Reading and her dad Ashley, owed £18million, leaving 230 people out of pocket.
It borrowed from investors including Boyzone star Shane Lynch, then lent it out at higher interest rates.
The Readings also splashed out millions on luxury investment properties in the UK, Dubai and Spain. McTominay, 27, lent Fortress £1million to buy one in Portugal.
The Scottish midfielder now stands to get back just £100,000 after administrators confirmed investors are expected to get just 10p of every £1 they put in.
“Cam”, 23, owes the firm £1.2million but shares her luxury lifestyle on social media, which has angered some investors.
One who lost thousands told The Sun on Sunday: “There is a photo of Cam blowing a kiss with a glass of Champagne at a Claridge’s hotel room with Scott. It really rubs salt in the wound for those of us who’ve lost our life savings or face losing their homes.
“There’s another pic from Instagram of Ashley, his wife, Cam and her sister. They always seemed to be going on holiday. At one point, they were in Dubai for months and months.”
Cam has been forced to sell properties in Dubai and Spain to help settle her debts.
Singer Shane, 47, is also owed £730,000 and faces a shortfall of £657,000. McTominay’s agent was contacted for comment. — Sun.
