Osimhen to link up with Lamine Yamal as Barcelona eye on fire Super Eagles striker for less than €75m
LaLiga club FC Barcelona have their sights on Super Eagles’ Victor Osimhen to pair with Lamine Yamal, hoping to sign the Napoli striker for less than his €75m clause in 2025.
Nevin believes United underestimated the Scottish midfielder's value, saying:
"I think Scott McTominay was worth £50 million before he left Manchester United. It was a monster mistake by United. If you asked any Scottish people when he left for £25 million, everybody went, 'you what?'"

Nevin also praised McTominay's spirit and work rate, which he believes United are lacking. He added:
"After what he'd been doing for Scotland, after that period he'd had in the team for Manchester United when he suddenly was moved a lot farther forward and showed what he's good at in his best position.
"But apart from anything else, from United, he was showing the spirit every single time we walked on that pitch that that club needs.
"You've got Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, fabulous players in their time, but their time's coming up, and you're getting rid of McTominay? That's just finance. That's nothing else."
