Teddy Sheringham has told Manchester United to bring Scott McTominay back to the club after his Napoli heroics.
Man Utd sold McTominay last summer Went on to win Serie A in Italy Sheringham urges Red Devils to bring him backFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
McTominay joined Napoli last summer and enjoyed a stunning season in which he inspired Antonio Conte's side to Serie A glory, and was also nominated for the Ballon d'Or. Given that he was a £21 million ($28m) signing, he has given the Italian club an incredible return on their investment.

Sheringham, a 1999 treble winner, believes United should try to bring McTominay back as he outlined his ideal XI under Ruben Amorim; he believes that Casemiro's "legs have gone" and that, ideally, the Scotland international would replace him. Alas, he accepts it is very unlikely.
WHAT SHERINGHAM SAID
Sheringham told : "I would definitely go with Sesko up front and Matheus Cunha just off him.
"That leaves it tough for Fernandes in midfield but he's obviously the captain and has been playing very, very well the last couple of years with his performances and his goals.
"I would get McTominay back if I could and put him in alongside Fernandes in midfield to add a bit of steel but obviously that was a permanent move. He's not coming back. So you’ve got Casemiro. His legs are gone so it’s going to be tough to play him there so he’d need a lot of help from Fernandes and Cunha.
"Casemiro can pull his man slightly wide, Cunha can tuck in alongside him in midfield, making Fernandes very secure.
"Amad Diallo, I would play wide right. I like him. Mbeumo goes wide left. Amad is a very lively player. Very expressive in the way he plays. You can manipulate younger players too in order to fit what the team needs to get close as a unit and go from there."
