Solskjaer: McTominay is limited by Manchester United, he can establish himself when we play football

Hupu News on November 13 Recently, Manchester United star and former Besiktas coach Solskjaer participated in a talk show. During the dinner, he chatted about football with Scholes, Gary Neville and Roy Keane. During this period, they talked about McTominay, who was sold by Manchester United to Naples a year and a half ago.

Neville: You just mentioned McTominay. What do you think of Manchester United's sale of McTominay and his subsequent performance in Naples? I and everyone here felt at the time that this might be a mistake, but it wasn't the worst decision.

Solskjaer: I was shocked at the time, because a club needs a core lineup, a core lineup composed of local players who understand the club. For me, I think his performance in Italy proved how good a player he is. He is outstanding, has a great character, is the kind of player that is needed inside and outside the club, he can set the standard, and he can definitely establish himself when we play (in the Class of 92). He won the Serie A MVP last year, and I think he's the kind of player that you don't know how good he is until you recruit him.

Ian Wright: Yes, especially when he scored so many key goals at the end of the season. Regarding Manchester United, what I want to say is that they no longer pay attention to youth training and player development. During the Class of 1992, Manchester United produced a group of outstanding young players, but now, McTominay is gone, Rashford is gone, and Menu has barely played. This is what I want to express - Manchester United has deviated from one of their core concepts.

Keane: This is what I said before, he (McTominay) definitely deserves a place in the team. But he is just a substitute player. We sold him for 30 million. If you really define him as a substitute, then 30 million is not bad and it is a good deal.

Scholes: Selling him for 30 million. Although we didn't think it was good and didn't like it at the time, the timing of the transaction was not bad.

Ian Wright: Look at his performance and look at Manchester United's current situation, and you will think that Manchester United will not extract this from him (meaning that he will not play so well at Manchester United).

Keane: You know, when players leave and go to a club like Naples, of course Naples is also a wealthy club, but it is not Manchester United after all. He's playing well now and achieving a lot, but I'm not going to rave about him every week like I did when I was at Manchester United and see him as a key figure in leading Manchester United's resurgence. If he is really regarded as a rotation player, then 30 million is very good.

Solskjaer: In my opinion, McTominay was not allowed to play his favorite and best position at Manchester United.

Neville: It’s because of Bruno (B fee).

Solskjaer: Yes, maybe it’s Fee B. We lack physical confrontation and physical fitness in the midfield. He was given greater freedom in Naples and he is the best offensive player.

Gil Scott: You said that he could establish himself in the era when you played football. Do you think there is anyone else in the Manchester United team who can compare with him? Such as mentality or leadership.

Solskjaer: B Fee and Maguire, absolutely, they are very good.
