Robbie Savage says Man Utd really messed up when selling £25m player

Manchester United’s start to this Premier League season has been nothing short of disastrous.

The Red Devils sit 13th in the table after six game🍒s, and many of the 💙problems that were present last season are continuing to persist.

Indeed, Manchester United’s midfield is still way too easy to carve through, and the signing of Manuel Ugarte doesn’t se🅘em to have helped matters, at least not yet an🦄yway.

Speaking on , Robbie Savage ha༒s been discussing United’s ongoing midfield issues, and he’s claimed that Ugarte isn’t a go⛄od fit for United.

Savage believes that Kobbie Mainoo needs to be partnered with a player who is more mobile, and, for that reason, he believes it was a serious mistake to sell Scott McTominay to Napoli for this summer.

Scott McTominay sale a mistake

Savage shared his verdict on United🎃’s midfield and the sale of McTomi💮nay.

“He (Mainoo) needs🎃 somebody, and I’m surprised about them getting Ugarte, because Kobbie Mainoo needs someone who can get up and down, and I think that it was a big mistake selling Scott McTominay, I really do,” Savage said.

Scott McTominay is missed

It has to be said that Savage has a point here.

McTominay, for all his flaws, was always a reliable option for United, and he scored multiple valuable goals last sꦐeason that arguably kept Er🃏ik ten Hag in a job.

McTominay has started brilliantly at Napoli, and there is a real case to ma☂ke that he’d be starting in this ꦿUnited midfield at the moment based on the respective form of Casemiro and Ugarte.

Manchester United ju𓄧st can’t seem to get anything right at the moment, and McTominay isn’t the only departing player who seems to have improved.

Indeed, it’s a similar story for Jadꦦon Sancho at Chelsea.

For🐼 some reason, players seem to improve when they leave Old Trafford these days, and that is a damning indictment of the manager’s ability to get the best out of his squad.
