Manchester United's decision to sell Scott McTominay has reportedly been met with criticism from Premier League great Paolo di Canio, according to The Sun. In August, Manchester United sent McTominay to Serie A powerhouse Napoli for £25 million. The trade helped fund United's deadline-day purchase of Manuel Ugarte, a big summer target. The former Premier League player Di Canio, nevertheless, thinks Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his crew erred. "
I would go to Manchester United to arrest all the directors - how can you give away McTominay?" he said in a recent interview with Il Mattino. United boss Erik ten Hag had conflicting emotions as the player left the club. His reaction was conflicted: on one hand, he was delighted for him, but on the other, he didn't want to see him go. No matter what, he represents Manchester United; he was crucial to the club.
Regrettably, the rules dictated that he remained for more than 22 years. Although it may not be the moral thing to do, it benefits all parties involved because domestic players provide more value. Scott, Napoli, and I are all pleased. Two goals have been scored by McTominay in five outings since he joined Napoli. At the same time, United are having a tough time in Premier League play.
