Robertson: I think McTominay went to Serie A to prove that both Manchester United and the Premier League were wrong

Recently, Robertson, who is preparing for the Scottish national team match, accepted an interview with The Guardian. He said that McTominay shone after joining Naples, proving that Manchester United let him go was a mistake.

McTominay won the league title in his fantasy debut season in Serie A and was named the Most Valuable Player. Manchester United has been widely criticized for selling the 28-year-old for £25m last summer.

Scotland captain Robertson joked that McTominay had begun to communicate with his national teammates in Italian. More serious, McTominay’s performance at the new club has attracted widespread attention.

Robertson said: "I think he went there to prove himself, he wanted to prove that the people in Manchester United and the Premier League were wrong. He did a lot of success there, thanks to his attitude and determination."

"When he was at Manchester United, he probably lacked the chance to play, went in and out, didn't get the respect he deserved. Then he went to Naples, had a great season and eventually won the league title. Even before he joined Naples, he was very good at Scotland. He kept improving and reaching a new level."

Although Robertson had just won the Premier League, McTominay's name was frequently mentioned in Scotland when he was preparing for the Iceland friendly match, and both Robertson and manager Clarke wanted fans to pay more attention to Gilmore.

"Gilmore has been doing well since he came to Naples, and he said he could walk around freely in Naples, and McTominay was surrounded by fans. Their fans were very enthusiastic, so they liked our players very special to us. They also liked Gilmore, so congratulations to both of them on their success there and winning the trophy."

Clark has always supported McTominay and Gilmore to go to Serie A, and when asked why they performed so well, Clark said concisely: "Just confident, confident in their abilities, the answer is that simple. They showed their talents in different leagues, and I was not surprised by that."

"I think the decision of these two lads to Naples was very brave, just like Lewis Fur Gerson went to Bologna that year. Lewis stayed there longer and became the captain of Bologna and won the Italian Cup, which was an amazing achievement. "

"The two young men went to Naples, like dreams, made the decision to play abroad and ended up winning the Serie A title, they beat Inter Milan. Last month, everyone in Scotland became fans of Naples and we all really hoped they would win the championship, they did it." "

" It was great for McTominay to score a goal on the last day of the season, and Gilmore was also excellent in that game. McTominay was the focus of the headlines, but that didn't mean forgetting Gilmore, who stood up when Loboteca was injured and never let the team down, congratulations to both of them."
