Man Utd made a 'monster mistake'! Red Devils told they shouldn't have sold Scott McTominay as ex-Chelsea star says Blues should have snapped up midfielder before Napoli move

<p>Manchester United sold McTominay to Napoli in the summer of 2024 as the Red Devils looked to improve their squad for Erik ten Hag. The Scottish midfielder has been in top form for Gli Azzurri this season while United are in the dumps. Former Chelsea star Nevin has now voiced that the Red Devils have made a mistake by selling McTominay for a price as low as £25 million.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.casinohawks.com/" target="_self">Casino Hawks</a>, Nevin said: "I think Scott McTominay was worth £50 million before he left Manchester United. It was a monster mistake by United. If you asked any Scottish people when he left for £25million, everybody went, you what? After what he'd been doing for Scotland after that period he'd had in the team for Manchester United when he suddenly was moved a lot farther forward and showed what he's good at in his best position. But apart from anything else from United, he was showing the spirit every single time we walked on that pitch that that club needs, that that club doesn't have to be anywhere near the level they want. You’ve got Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, fabulous players in their time, but their time's coming up and you're getting rid of McTominay? That's just finance. That's nothing else."</p>

WHAT NEVIN SAID

<p>Nevin also claimed that he would be glad if Chelsea had signed McTominay. He said: "I know West Ham wanted him, but I'd have taken him at Chelsea in a heartbeat. Absolutely. I mean, he really has that much quality.  Is he worth £50 million now? Yes. But he was before. I’m delighted for him. I'm not even mildly surprised at how well he's done in Italy. Not even slightly."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Scottish international has helped Napoli fight for the Serie A title this season against Inter Milan. Gli Azzurri will return to action after the international break when they face off against AC Milan.</p>
