Scott McTominay was the Red Devils star in midfield last term, bagging ten goals in all competitions, before being sold to Serie A side Napoli in the summer.
And Man Utd legend Brian McClair admits he s gutted to see McTominay leave Old Trafford but maybe it s better to take the money .
I’m very biased because Scott of course represents Scotland, and we share the same birthday, McClair told .
I can go back to times where Scott had difficult periods in his formative time as a young academy boy, but I feel very privileged to have watched him grow into the adult and football player that he is.
Hopefully he’ll have a wonderful time at Napoli, but you’re always disappointed when the players that have been there since they were eight years of age, are no longer required, because there’s a view that it’s better to take the money.
