Former Teammate Slams Manchester United for Offloading Scott McTominay
Manchester United’s decision to let Scott McTominay leave the club has sparked a mixed reaction from fans and pundits alike. However, one former teammate of the Scotland international has come out strongly against the Red Devils’ decision to offload him.
Nemanja Matic, who played alongside McTominay at Old Trafford from 2017 to 2022, took to Twitter to express his disappointment and surprise at the club’s decision to let him go. The former Serbia international was effusive in his praise for McTominay, calling him an "important player" and stating that it would be difficult to replace him.
"I’m still learning from my experience," Matic tweeted. "But my opinion is that Manchester United made a mistake by selling Scott McTominay. He’s an incredible player and will always be a big part of this club."
Matic’s comments have sparked a debate among Manchester United fans, with some agreeing with his assessment while others feel that the club made the right decision. However, one thing is clear – McTominay has been an important player for the Red Devils, making 275 appearances and scoring 29 goals in his seven-year stay.
Meanwhile, McTominay himself is looking forward to a new challenge in Naples after completing a £25 million switch to Napoli. The Scotland international penned a four-year deal with the Serie A side and has thanked Manchester United for giving him the opportunity to develop as a player.
"Whenever my career is done, I’ll look back on this stage of my career with Manchester United with great gratitude," McTominay told Manchester United’s club media. "I’ve been here since I was five years old, with great love and respect for this football club."
It’s clear that McTominay will always have a special place in his heart for Manchester United, and fans will be eager to see how he performs in Italy. Whether you agree with Matic’s assessment or not, one thing is certain – Scott McTominay has left a lasting impression on Manchester United.
