Man Utd told big summer sale was a ‘bad call’, as star was a player ‘you don’t want to lose’

Former Manchester United man Jaap Stam has told the club letting Scott McTominay go was a “bad call” as he’s the type of high-impact player “you don’t want to lose”.

McTominay had his best season in a United shirt last term. He bagged 10 goals and three assists in all competitions, which included seven Premier League goals, a tally only beaten by two Red Devils players.

The Scotsman has since scored four goals and provided three assists in a Napoli shirt after a £25million move.

Ex-United man Stam has told the club it was a poor decision to let him go, given the impact he had at Old Trafford and is now having in Italy.

“Scott McTominay has a very important ทางเข้า ufabet influence at Manchester United even though he wasn’t a guaranteed starter.

“He scored goals and had a big impact and those are the players you don’t want to lose as a football club.

Leaving might’ve a good step for him, as is currently being discuss with Marcus Rashford, but he may well have wanted to stay.

“He has been a very important player for Napoli and his confidence is growing because he is starting most games and overall I think selling him was a bad call at United.

Sometimes you have to make tough decisions as a club and I understand that, but I wouldn’t have been keen to sell McTominay.”

It seems United may not have known what they had until they lost it, as they could do with a player like McTominay amid their poor run, which sees them 13th in the Premier League.

The Scots take on Gibraltar and Finland in their final two tournament friendlies before they face hosts Germany in the EURO 2024 opener on June 14. And McTominay, who has score eight goals in 49 caps for Scotland since his debut in 2018, has tippe by former Red Devils star Wes Brown to maintain his hot streak in the box going into the finals.

He gets a lot of stick, but I always look at him and remember he’s a youth team player from. Manchester United as well, which means he’s first and foremost going to give it everything. He’s not someone who moans and when put on the pitch he’ll try his best.

“He’s one of the main players and goal threats for Scotland – that’s the kind of hunger that he has to win football matches. I don’t think you can ever question his commitment and his drive he’s had a good season this year and has score a lot of goals for both club and country and I back him to continue that form between now and the summer. He’s definitely a player both United and Scotland need.
