ANDY ROBERTSON has hit out at Manchester United for “disrespecting” Scott McTominay.
The Scottish international was sold to Napoli last summer after being deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.

McTominay, 28, was sold for just £25million but that fee has proved to be a bargain in Napoli’s eyes.
The midfielder has gone on to become a vital member of Antonio Conte‘s team and helped them win the Serie A title.
McTominay has also become a cult-hero and firm fan favourite thanks to his 13 goals in his debut campaign.
And Robertson has now taken aim at the Red Devils for the decision to sell.
The Liverpool star believes that the club did not show McTominay the “respect he deserves”.
He said: “I think he went over there with a point to prove.
“I think he wanted to prove Man Utd wrong and prove people in the Premier League wrong. And he’s went over there and done that pretty successfully.
“That’s credit to him, credit to his attitude and his determination to be the best version of himself. Now he’s a king over there.
“At Man Utd he probably lacked getting that run of games consistently, he was in and out and things like that.
“He probably didn’t get the respect he deserves.
“Then he goes over there, puts in a magnificent season and fair play to him, to end it with the league title.
“Scott is a winner, we see that every day in training because he sets standards, looks after himself.
“He talks to the young lads and tries to give off his experience.”
Meanwhile, Man United defender Lisandro Martinez has been linked with a reunion with McTominay.
Napoli have been monitoring the Argentine’s recovery from his ACL injury and could make a move for him this summer.
