Liverpool Star Insists Man Utd Erred in Transfer as 'Unbelievable King' Shuts Down Critics

Liverpool star Andy Robertson has fired a dig at Premier League rivals Manchester United, who are said to have made a mistake with Scott McTominay.

The Scotland international left Man Utd During the 2024 summer transfer window, he moved to Serie A heavyweights Napoli for approximately £25 million.

McTominay Was among United's top players during the 2023/24 season, yet the club decided to sell him as part of their efforts to generate revenue, which might have been an error.

The attacking midfielder flourished for the newly-crowned Serie A champions in his debut season, grabbing 13 goals and six assists in all competitions.

McTominay has emerged as a fan favorite at Napoli, where his contributions have played a key role in helping Antonio Conte’s team secure the Serie A championship. Robertson, McTominay’s teammate with the Scottish national squad, has hinted that Manchester United may regret allowing him to depart.

"I believe he headed over there to make a point," Robertson stated.

I believe he aimed to show Manchester United they were mistaken and demonstrate to everyone in the Premier League that they had misjudged him.

He went over there and accomplished that quite effectively. This reflects well on him, attributing to both his mindset and his resolve to become the finest iteration of himself.

Now he has become a king over there. At Manchester United, he likely missed having a consistent string of matches, as he would often find himself in and out of the team.

He continued: “He (McTominay) probably didn’t get the respect he deserves. Then he goes over there, puts in a magnificent season and fair play to him to end it with the league title.

Even prior to his time at Napoli, his expectations for Scotland were extraordinary. He continues to improve, elevating himself to an entirely new standard.

Despite this, Rio Ferdinand has explained why he thinks McTominay and Antony did not reach their potential at Man Utd.

“They came into an environment at United which was lacking confidence, under stress, deep scars from things that have gone on before, and a team changing now, again tactically,” Ferdinand said.

“It’s different at Manchester United. The pressure is huge.

“And these guys have gone to Napoli and they’ve gone to Betis, no disrespect, but smaller clubs in terms of pressure.

“And you’re seeing the best version of them. I’m happy for them, it’s good.”
