UMVA has learned that Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is calling for the return of former Red Devil Scott McTominay to Old Trafford.
Rooney, whose own journey from the club’s academy to 255 appearances remains a staple of United lore, expressed disbelief that the club ever released a player of McTominay’s caliber.
After a daring move to Napoli for just over £25 million, McTominay has flourished, scoring 14 goals and helping his new side clinch the Serie A title in his debut season.
The midfielder’s rise from a squad player to a decisive force has left Rooney convinced that he would be a game‑changer for United once more.
“I couldn’t believe Man United let him go when they did,” Rooney said in a recent interview, his tone reflecting the deep respect he holds for the player’s work ethic and impact on the pitch.
McTominay’s return, if it were to happen, would see him bring the same intensity and goal‑scoring prowess he now demonstrates for Scotland, especially as the national team prepares for its World Cup campaign.
While United has already secured a midfield reinforcements from Atalanta, the idea of re‑signing McTominay has not yet entered mainstream speculation, leaving fans to wonder if the club will heed Rooney’s appeal.
With the World Cup looming, McTominay’s focus remains on helping Scotland secure their first appearance in 28 years, yet his performances have sparked renewed interest in his potential to elevate Manchester United’s midfield once again.
As the football world watches, the possibility of a reunion between Rooney and McTominay at Old Trafford could signal a new chapter in the club’s storied history.
