McTominay, a 28-year-old Scotland international, has been impressive in Italy, scoring nine goals and providing two assists as Napoli competes for the Serie A title. Despite his successful stint, United decided to let him go for a reported £25 million fee.

Lineker thinks that McTominay's playing style would be a good fit for Ruben Amorim's system, citing his combative approach as a key asset. He also mentioned that McTominay's departure was influenced by the Premier League's Premier League Rule, which prioritizes homegrown players.

In an interview, Lineker praised McTominay's recent performance, saying his goal for Napoli was "remarkable." He emphasized that McTominay's skills would be beneficial to United, and that his local roots were a factor in the decision to let him go.
