Scott McTominay has shown his true colours following Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool<\/a>. The Napoli midfielder has congratulated Harry Maguire on the victory at Anfield, sending him a classy message on social media.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the clash, the United vice-captain marked the occasion with a celebratory post on Instagram, which eclipsed 150,000 likes in under an hour<\/a>. Captioning a selection of pictures from the game, Maguire <\/a>wrote: “I love this club [red heart emoji.”<\/p>\n

Among the thousands of fans who flooded the comment section, McTominay left a message for his former teammate. The Scotland international, who Napoli signed from United in August 2024 for \u00a325m<\/a>, posted a clapping hands and red heart emoji.<\/p>\n

His comment under Maguire’s post was ‘liked’ more than any other, including tributes from Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu. Mason Greenwood was among the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez who ‘liked’ what the England international uploaded.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mirror <\/a>in July 2025, McTominay claimed he doesn’t harbour any ill feelings towards his former club. He said: “I always want the absolute best for Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s been my life for 22, 23 years so for me, I wish the club all the success in the world. I\u2019m with them every step of the way. I want them to do well. I\u2019m not someone who doesn\u2019t want that.”<\/p>\n

McTominay fired Napoli to the Scudetto last season, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists. The Scot also bagged the player of the season trophy \u2013 an award previously won by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Zinedine Zidane.<\/p>\n

United raised eyebrows when they sanctioned McTominay’s departure, with Benni McCarthy describing the deal as ‘one of the biggest mistakes in football’. The former Reds coach said: “There are different reasons why you sell homegrown players sometimes.<\/p>\n

“When they go, the profit lets you sign more players. Having said that, it was one of the biggest mistakes in football to let him leave. He was born to play for United.<\/p>\n

“Maybe he wasn\u2019t the most technical, but he had fight, and I think it\u2019s what they will get back with Matheus Cunha. Scotty was a player that you look for in a dressing room to get you where you want to be.<\/p>\n

“To let him go for what was a small transfer fee was a big shame. I think everyone at the club regrets that decision. For me, with my experience, I know what you need to deliver at a special club.<\/p>\n

“People can say what they like but we tried to bring in great players that would fit. I know the manager always takes the blame, but sometimes the club needs to look at itself.”<\/p>\n

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was another vocal critic of the move. Speaking to the BBC<\/a>, the former United boss said: “Scott and Fred together, they were lads you would put your hat on every day to give 100 per cent. How you can sell Scott is beyond me.”<\/p>\n
