Nemanja Matic, a former Manchester United midfielder, has criticized the club's decision to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli, deeming it a 'mistake'. McTominay, who joined Napoli for £25.7 million, was a significant player for United, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists last season. Matic emphasized the difficulty in replacing a player of McTominay's caliber and praised Napoli's manager, Antonio Conte, for acquiring him. The sale was financially motivated, allowing United to fund the signing of Manuel Ugarte from PSG, but it raised concerns among fans and pundits alike. Erik ten Hag acknowledged McTominay's contributions while expressing sadness over his departure. McTominay expressed gratitude for his time at United and his readiness for a new challenge in Serie A.
