🚨 Gary Lineker: “Man Utd & Amorim Desperately Need Scott McTominay Back!”
Ex-Red Devil Thrives in Napoli as United’s Midfield Crisis Worsens
In a searing postmortem of Manchester United’s dismal season, Gary Lineker has fired shots at the club’s transfer decisions—insisting 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 didn’t hold back:
> “McTominay scored a beauty for Napoli. It’s remarkable how well some of the [former] United players are doing.”
“He’s exactly the player Amorim needs. He fits the system perfectly.”
The Numbers Don’t 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 Amorim’s transition. The midfield has lacked punch and presence—something McTominay is delivering weekly in Italy.
Lineker believes United sold the wrong man:
> “They let go of McTominay, Wan-Bissaka, and Varane. Now they’re stuck with a broken squad.”
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?
