Speaking with Casino Hawks, former Chelsea wing player Nevin believes that Man United let the 28-year-old cheap leave and suggested that the West-London club should have breaked him.
McTominay left his boy's club for Napoli back in the summer of 2024 for a reported reimbursement of only £ 25 million.
The Scotland International has become an important player for Antonio Conte while his side to the Serie A title, scored seven goals and offers two assists in all competitions.
Nevin said: “I think Scott McTominay was worth £ 50 million before he left Manchester United.
“It was a monster error from United. If you asked a Scottish people when he left £ 25 million, everyone went, what?
“After what he had done for Scotland after that period he had in the team for Manchester United when he was suddenly moved much further forward and showed what he is good at in his best position.”
He also claimed that Chelsea should have been going for him and said: “I know that West Ham wanted him, but I had taken him in a heartbeat in Chelsea. Absolutely. I mean, he really has so much quality. Is he now worth £ 50 million?
“Yes. But he was earlier. I am glad that I am not surprised for that long how well he did in Italy. Not even.”
