He praised McTominay’s relentless work ethic and unique goal threat, noting that he was exactly the type of impactful, hard‑working player United needed on the pitch.

“I couldn’t believe Man United let him go when they did because he obviously works extremely hard,” he said.

“And at the time they let him go, he was actually one of the players you wanted on the pitch every week because you felt like players weren’t working or weren’t giving the best and he was impactful.”

“He was playing in a more advanced role and he was scoring important goals. When Man United let him go, I was thinking, ‘wow, what’s going on here?’ But you’d love to have him back at Man United now.”

Having established himself as a world‑class midfielder in Italy, reports indicate Napoli would now demand around £44 million to sell him back.
