Overview
- Wayne Rooney publicly said on June 13 that he would 'love to have' Scott McTominay back at Manchester United and questioned the club’s decision to sell the academy graduate.
- McTominay left United for Napoli in 2024 for a reported €30.5m (about £26m) and quickly became a key player in Italy.
- At Napoli he helped win the Serie A title, earned high individual praise, and has been credited with 27 goals and seven assists in 80 appearances across competitions.
- Reports say McTominay overcame a minor stomach bug in time to play in Scotland’s World Cup opener against Haiti, keeping his tournament profile high for potential suitors.
- There are no confirmed talks between Manchester United, Napoli, or the player about a transfer; Rooney’s remarks add public pressure that could shape speculation during the summer window.
