Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer has hailed 27-year-old star, Scott McTominay for leaving Manchester United.
Shearer believes the Scottish midfielder made a wise decision to cut ties with his boyhood club last summer transfer window.
McTominay joined Man United’s academy at the age of five.
He went on to make 255 appearances for the Red Devils and helped them won the FA Cup and EFL Cup.
However, he ended up joining Serie A side Napoli in the summer.
“It was a wise decision for Scott McTominay to move countries and experience something different, not only on a football pitch but in life as well,” Shearer told Betfair.
“I wonder what McTominay thinks, looking back at what Man United are doing this season – or rather what they are not doing in terms of performances on the pitch.
“Scott will look at himself and think he made the right decision because it looks as if the move to Napoli is going well for him.
“He’s already scored a couple of goals, he’s developing a good relationship with Romelu Lukaku, and it looks like he is enjoying it from his point of view.”
