Rio Ferdinand described Scott McTominay as a player who was not one of the stars, but a very important player for Manchester United, a struggling and loyal and all in regardless of how little playing time the Scot got in the games. A player United need in addition to the stars. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led McTominay on the training ground and in the match arena, he knows there was more to this player, and goes even further in his description of the loss of the Scot at Old Trafford. This week, the former United manager “confirmed” it all.
For Scott Mctominay has not played Ferdinand’s “loyal toiler who backs up the stars” role. At Napoli, the 28-year-old has been given free rein by Antonio Conte, has taken control in midfield in Serie A games and rushed forward in attack – like the big star. After scoring five goals in four league games in April, the Italians had no choice but to place the Player of the Month award in the hands of the former Manchester United player.

With McTominay’s big game, Napoli lead Serie A by three points over Inter Milan, with three games remaining. McTominay is of course nominated for the award as Serie A’s best player as well.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was right.
“How they could sell Scott is something I can’t understand,” as Solskjaer has put it.
