Former Manchester United player Scott McTominay is completely at home in Scotland after he led his country to its first World Cup since 1998. – His star is also huge at Napoli, but the relationship with manager Antonio Conte is said to be frayed.
And now, a couple of weeks after helping his country to a historic victory, McTominay could consider a major change of club, after a former Premier League legend has hinted that he could return to England.

Will seize the chance
After making 255 appearances for his childhood club, McTominay left Manchester United in August 2024 to join Serie A giants Napoli for a transfer fee of over £25 million, according to reports.
McTominay has since shined in his new club, leading Antonio Conte’s team to the Serie A title last season, which led to him winning the league’s MVP award.
Despite this, Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has suggested that the Scot would seize the chance for a shocking comeback to Old Trafford if United were able to accept that they made a mistake in letting him go.
“You see, Man United had to pay a serious amount of money to bring back McTominay,” Yorke told Snabbare.
“It would be hard to admit that they were wrong, but at the same time he would love the fact that he was now wanted back by the club if they actually made a bid.”
However, Yorke admitted that the transfer might not work out in practice, because the role McTominay has enjoyed at Napoli is far from what Ruben Amorim needs at United at the moment.
“He wouldn’t solve the problem of them not having a defensive midfielder (number six),” Yorke claimed. “They would probably have made him play even higher up the pitch, which would only make things more confusing. That’s why he wouldn’t come back.”
“In hindsight, as with everything else, he could one day have been in a top position at United, but it’s never that simple.”
