Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney has voiced a strong opinion, urging his former club to bring Scott McTominay back to Old Trafford.
McTominay, who is currently impressing at Napoli, was sold by United for a reported £26 million two years ago. Rooney expressed his astonishment at this decision, particularly given McTominay's subsequent growth into a potent goal-scoring midfielder.
Rooney emphasized McTominay's remarkable work ethic and his significant impact on the pitch. He lamented the club's apparent lack of foresight in allowing an academy product to develop and excel at another club, rather than retaining him.
The legendary forward believes that Manchester United is currently missing players who possess McTominay's level of drive and determination. He stated that he would be delighted to see the midfielder return to the Theatre of Dreams.
Despite Manchester United's ongoing efforts to rebuild their midfield and their reported interest in various other players, McTominay's name has not been officially discussed as a potential transfer target for the club.
In the meantime, McTominay is preparing to captain Scotland in their World Cup campaign. His immediate focus will be on securing a vital opening victory for his nation.
It's understood that any discussions regarding his club future will be revisited after his international commitments are concluded.
Rooney's comments highlight a potential gap in Manchester United's current squad and a missed opportunity in their player retention strategy, suggesting that a reunion with McTominay could be a shrewd move for the club.
