Scott McTominay 'given away' by Man Utd as Paolo Di Canio insists Old Trafford chiefs should be ARRESTED

Paolo Di Canio would ARREST the Man Utd decision makers for letting Scottish McTominay go.

The boyhood United fan left for Napoli in a £30million summer window swoop, and has slotted in seamlessly as the latest Scot in Serie A and is taking it by storm. He netted his first goal against Palermo recently and has been a driving force in helping the Neapolitans to the top of the table under Antonio Conte. His form has seen some tip him to become one of the best players in the club's history - no mean feat given how revered Diego Maradona remains in Naples.

And former Celtic star Di Canio has blasted the Old Trafford board for allowing such a talent to leave for a relatively small amount of money in modern football. As McTominay thrives, the Red Devils have suffered their worst ever start to a league season and pressure is mounting on spiky Dutch head coach Erik ten Had, who has spent fortunes in order to return an FA Cup and League Cup.

"I would go to Manchester United to arrest all the directors," Di Canio warned Il Mattino. "How can you give McTominay away?"

McTominay has been joined at Napoli by international teammate Billy Gilmour, who moved in a cut price deal from Brighton. And while he hasn't had the same explosive impact as his mate, Di Canio reckons he's settling in nicely. He added: "Gilmour at Brighton has shown that he has the same characteristics of coming out with the ball at his feet and lucidity as Lobotka."
