Man United legend Wayne Rooney has urged his former club to re-sign Scotland and Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay.
The 29-year-old has established himself as one of the most effective midfielders in Europe since moving to Naples.
McTominay has scored 27 goals and provided seven assists in his 80 games for Napoli, earned a nomination for last year’s Ballon d’Or.
He also stepped up when Scotland needed him most, scoring an incredible bicycle kick in their 4-2 win over Denmark to earn a place at the World Cup.
Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, the former United striker urged the club to bring the midfielder back.
"I couldn’t believe Man United let him go when they did because he obviously works extremely hard,” he said.
"And at the time they let him go, he was actually one of the players who you wanted on the pitch every week because you felt like players weren’t working or weren’t giving the best and he was impactful.
"He was playing in a more advanced role and he was scoring important goals. When Man United let him go, I was thinking, 'wow, what’s going on here?' But you’d love to have him back at Man United now."

No need to interrupt moment of brilliance. It has been hard for him at Man U for long enough. McTominay should enjoy Naples for the mean time.
It was never hard for him, go check his stats when he was still at MU, it’s crazy bro. Mc is something else

Surely Mctominay was a die hard dab of the club. United had to sold him to get more playing game time. He has established himself well @ club Napoli. Highly unlikely, but never know,wierd things do happen in Football....
