Andy Robertson Criticizes Man Utd Over Scott McTominay Sale to Napoli

Liverpool and Scotland captain Andy Robertson has praised Scott McTominay for proving Manchester United wrong after his transfer to Napoli, where he flourished in the 2024-25 season. McTominay, sold for £25.7 million, became a club icon in Naples, playing an attacking role that yielded 12 goals and six assists, leading to him being named Serie A's Most Valuable Player and helping Napoli secure the Italian league title. Robertson highlighted that McTominay lacked consistent playing time and respect at Manchester United but has now become a 'king' at Napoli, earning admiration from fans and teammates alike. Robertson also noted the positive impact of fellow Scot Billy Gilmour at Napoli and the benefits this success brings to the Scotland national team. Meanwhile, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand commented that players like McTominay and Antony have only found success at smaller clubs like Napoli after struggling with the pressure at United. Overall, Robertson’s comments emphasize McTominay’s determination, leadership, and the error Manchester United made in letting him go.
