Man Utd ‘only do stupid things & kill stars, someone should be arrested’, rants journalist amid McTominay’s red-hot form

MANCHESTER UNITED have been slammed in response to Scott McTominay’s brilliant Napoli form.

The midfielder was allowed to join the Serie A leaders for just £25million in the summer and he has hit the ground running.

He has scored once in the cup and is unbeaten in his four appearances for his new club.

McTominay, 27, has impressed the Italian press and one reporter blasted United in response to his performances, claiming they “kill” players.

Reporter Riccardo Trevisani told Cronache di Spogliatoio: “McTominay scored goals, he carried the cross, he had determination and yet they kicked him out!

“Nothing works at Manchester United, a club that only does stupid things, you can’t guess anything.

“They killed every player, Højlund, De Ligt, Antony, Rashford, now Zirkzee, even Casemiro, it’s a joke, there is no comparable team, they should be arrested. PSG are scientists in comparison!

“They have thrown away managers, coaches and players in recent years. They have no idea what they are doing.”

United’s summer signings have failed to hit the ground running, with new striker Joshua Zirkzee netting just once in nine games.

While Manuel Ugarte was criticised after his full debut against Tottenham last weekend.

Many fans pointed out the shortcomings of Erik ten Hag’s signings following that defeat, while the likes of Dean Henderson and Jadon Sancho have done well since leaving Old Trafford.

McTominay praised the tactical level players need to know in Serie A and hinted that could be a reason behind his upturn in form.

He said: “In Serie A I would say there is much more tactics that you need to know, your role within the team and with your teammates.

“Physically you make your presence felt, the Premier League is very different but also Serie A.

“The tactical work is more intense in Italy. I was very impressed by the level of the Italian championship, from England I wasn’t always able to realise how I can do it now.

“I was impressed by the technical level of the teams but also of the players, starting with my teammates.”
