'How can you sell him?!' - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blasts Man Utd's decision to get rid of Scott McTominay as midfielder closes in on Serie A title with Napoli

McTominay moved to Naples for the 2024-25 campaign in a £25 million ($33.6m) transfer, after years of fluctuating form and limited starts at Old Trafford. Since arriving in Italy, however, Antonio Conte has entrusted him with a defined position, which has brought out a new level in the 28-year-old. The midfielder has scored 11 league goals and provided four assists in 31 appearances, and is now on the verge of winning the Serie A title as Napoli enjoy a three-point lead at the top of the table over Inter.

Solskjaer, who managed McTominay during his stint as United head coach, spoke highly of the Scottish midfielder's abilities and expressed his shock over the Red Devils' decision to part ways with one of the hardest working players in their squad.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the Norwegian coach said: "Scott and Fred together, they were lads you would put your hat on every day to give 100%. How you can sell Scott is beyond me."

The 28-year-old midfielder will be back in action for the Italian giants on May 11 as they host Genoa in a crucial Serie A clash.
