The former boss of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, openly asked why his former employers sold Scott Mctominay last summer transfer Decisions.
Solskjaer, who was now responsible for Turkish giant Besiktas, was responsible for United for almost three years between 2018 and 2021. The once productive striker enjoyed a number of peaks and troughs while he was responsible for his beloved former club.
There was a remarkable decline in the results after he was permanently appointed manager after a blowy 19-game caretaker. However, Solskjaer still led to a second-placed finish in 2020/21 heights, which Ruben Amorim can only dream of this season.
The ex -Norway international was finally replaced in the 2021/22 campaign from the Old Trafford installation after it had not found the best system for the summer information from United -namely Cristiano Ronaldo.
Solskjaer, who followed AFE as an enthusiastic fan, revealed his shock about the transfer activity of the club last summer.
“How you can sell Scott is a mystery to me” BBC Sport. “Scott and Fred together, they were boys they would put on their hat every day to give 100%.”
McTominay was regularly in a defensive midfield for Solskjaer, but began to show his attacking ability towards the end of Erik Ten Hag’s term. The Scotland International achieved more in all competitions for United ten non -penalt goals in all competitions -more than Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial.
The United Academy graduate continued to exceed in Serie A this season and reached Napoli in double digits for Antonio Conte’s League League.
In addition to the arrival of Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho, Salskjaer’s decision to sanction a record of 80 million pounds for Harry Maguire was widely criticized. The former United boss endeavored to greet the central defender as a “leader and fighter”.
“I was never in doubt when I signed him and he went into the door, he would be a captain for us,” insisted Solskjaer. “There is another captain there in Bruno [Fernandes]. The two are top people. “
Three and a half years after his departure in Old Trafford, Solskjaer revealed that Maguire and Fernandes belong to a surprisingly small group of former players who came into contact with him. “These two and winners [Lindelof] are probably the only ones that I have heard of the club since I left, “he admitted.” You want the best for you. “
