Overview

• Peter Schmeichel told the BBC’s Sacked in the Morning podcast that Manchester United mishandled Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay, who are now excelling at Napoli.
• On loan at Napoli with a clause that can make the move permanent, Hojlund has scored four goals in six games across Serie A and the Champions League.
• McTominay left a year earlier and delivered a title-winning debut season in Italy, earning Serie A player of the year recognition and a Ballon d’Or nomination.
• Schmeichel questioned United’s recruitment structure and the decision to sign Benjamin Sesko despite having Hojlund, citing multiple power centers in football operations.
• He said Hojlund would be a 25-goal-a-season striker with proper supply, crediting the service from Napoli teammates such as Kevin De Bruyne and McTominay while also highlighting United’s goalkeeping errors this season.
