Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has faulted the decision of the club to have allowed Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay move to Napoli.
According to Manchester United legend Schmeichel, this is both a sign of how well Napoli have built their team, and a damning indictment of the way both players were treated in England.
“What’s he doing at Napolii? He is so Manchester United,” Schmeichel told BBC.
“The problem was his versatility, because you have players who can only play in one position. Managers didn’t trust him to build the team around. They want the neat players. He was the victim of that time and again.

“I don’t get why those two are at Napoli. You will get no-one with more enthusiasm for Manchester United than Rasmus Hojlund. He was writing about playing for the club when he was 10 years old. He’s a massive fan.
“And the fans love him because he was working so hard for the team and he never complained.”
McTominay scored 13 goals and provided six assists in his debut campaign, and Schmeichel suggests that he could have been the perfect option to supply Hojlund if he stayed at United.
“I’ve consistently said this for two-and-a-half years – Rasmus Hojlund will be a 25-goal-a-year striker for Manchester United, but he needs service.
“We let him go on the stats that he scored very little goals last season and bring Sesko in at the time we bring in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo, who would give Hojlund first-class service.”
