Solskjaer Regrets Manchester United’s Decision to Sell McTominay
Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has voiced his disappointment over the club’s decision to sell Scott McTominay.
United offloaded the Scottish midfielder to Napoli last summer for £25 million but have struggled to replace him. Meanwhile, McTominay has been thriving in Italy, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 27 games. Under Antonio Conte, he has become a key player, helping Napoli climb to second place in Serie A.
Back in England, Manchester United have been facing a tough season under new manager Ruben Amorim. The team sits 14th in the Premier League after 27 games and recently crashed out of the FA Cup following a 4-3 penalty shootout loss to Fulham.
Solskjaer, a club legend and former United boss, shared his thoughts in an interview with The Athletic. While he was pleased to see Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire performing well, he admitted he was unhappy about McTominay’s departure.
“I’m upset that we let him go because he was important last season when he kept scoring crucial goals. His heart and understanding of the club’s culture were valuable,” Solskjaer said.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has spoken about the club’s signing of Enzo Fernández from Chelsea and why he is excited about the move.
Fernández completed his move to Manchester City from Chelsea on deadline day, with the midfielder joining the club for a British record-equalling £125 million.
Maresca said “Enzo Fernández… we’ve signed a winner. Enzo has a winning mentality, he knows how to win – World Cup, Club World Cup. And the main thing is that he’s a winner.”
“I can promise you in the last four or five days, four or five players were asking if he’s coming or not, because they wanted him with us!”
PSG manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on who should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, saying he believes the award should go to one of his players.
He said, “The Ballon d’Or should go to a PSG player, We have players who have won the Champions League. We have Fabián, who won the World Cup as well. We have Ousmane, who won the Ballon d’Or last season. That’s my opinion, but I’m not interested in individual awards.”
The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, with the shortlist set to be revealed on September 8.

He determined the GOAT by the number of goals they have scored for their countries after retirement.
