Manchester United have been accused of making one of the \u201cbiggest transfer mistakes ever\u201d with former midfielder Scott McTominay.<\/p>\n
The Scotland international progressed through the ranks at Man Utd <\/a>and was always a consistent performer for his boyhood club, though there were doubts about his ability to be an ever-present for the Premier League giants.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old thrived while operating in a more advanced role in his final season at Man Utd, though they opted to sell him to Serie A giants Napoli in 2024 for around \u00a326m.<\/p>\n And McTominay <\/a>has been a revelation for Napoli. He helped them win the Serie A title last season and has 34 goal involvements in his 73 outings for the Italian giants.<\/p>\n McTominay is now worth a lot more than \u00a326m and World Cup winner Marco Materazzi thinks Man Utd\u2019s sale of th emidfielder is \u201cone of the biggest transfer mistakes ever\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI love Scott McTominay. I love him so much,\u201d Materazzi told Hajper.<\/p>\n READ: Manchester United discover free \u2018transfer masterstroke\u2019 as Plan B after \u00a365m \u2018snub\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhen he broke through at Manchester United as a youngster I laughed because I said to my son that even at 18 or 19 this is a player who will go on to be one of the best players in the world, and now he is one of the best.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is an incredible box-to-box player. I don\u2019t understand how United sold him for nothing because his value, for me, is \u00a360-70m or more and they sold him for just \u00a326m.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know. Is that one of the biggest transfer mistakes we\u2019ve ever seen? I think so, absolutely.<\/p>\n \u201cCan Scott McTominay win the Ballon d\u2019Or some day? It\u2019s a nice idea because I love him as a player.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I don\u2019t think he will be champion in the World Cup with Scotland and it\u2019s not easy when you don\u2019t win the biggest trophies.\u201d<\/p>\n
