π¨ Gary Lineker: βMan Utd & Amorim Desperately Need Scott McTominay Back!β
Ex-Red Devil Thrives in Napoli as Unitedβs Midfield Crisis Worsens
In a searing postmortem of Manchester Unitedβs dismal season, Gary Lineker has fired shots at the clubβs transfer decisionsβinsisting Ruben Amorim’s side urgently needs the return of Scott McTominay, a player Erik ten Hag sold last summer.
Speaking on The Rest is Football, Lineker didnβt hold back:
> βMcTominay scored a beauty for Napoli. Itβs remarkable how well some of the [former] United players are doing.β
βHeβs exactly the player Amorim needs. He fits the system perfectly.β
The Numbers Donβt Lie:
10 goals in 28 games for Napoli
Crucial contributor in their Serie A title push
Playing under Antonio Conte, McTominay has transformed into a dominant box-crasher
Meanwhile, United have endured their worst home record since 1961, with injuries and tactical mismatches plaguing Amorimβs transition. The midfield has lacked punch and presenceβsomething McTominay is delivering weekly in Italy.
Lineker believes United sold the wrong man:
> βThey let go of McTominay, Wan-Bissaka, and Varane. Now theyβre stuck with a broken squad.β
As Napoli chase glory, McTominay is thriving. Back in Manchester, fans are left wondering how the club let go of a player now lighting up Serie A. The question looms large:
Did Manchester United give up
on Scott McTominay too soon?
