Robbo: 'Scotty's taken it to a whole new level'

ANDY ROBERTSON reckons Scott McTominay has proved Manchester United and his Premier League doubters wrong by becoming a Serie A-winning king.

The Scotland skipper was delighted to see his international team-mate, along with Billy Gilmour, win the Italian title with Napoli last month.

McTominay was also named as the league’s most valuable player and Robertson believes his critics will have been left eating their words.

“I think he went over there with a point to prove,” said the Liverpool ace, inset.

“I think he wanted to prove Manchester United and people in the Premier League wrong.

“He’s gone 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 United, 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 ends up with the league title.”

McTominay has been a key figure for Scotland in recent campaigns, but Robertson believes he has got even better.

Speaking ahead of tonight's friendly with Iceland, he added: “Even before he was at Napoli, his standard for Scotland was unbelievable.
