Former Man United youngster questions 'weight of the shirt' theory for players thriving elsewhere

Several players who have struggled at Manchester United have prospered elsewhere.

Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay did not make a significant impact at United but played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last season. He won the Division’s Most Valuable Player award.

Forward Antony has struggled since arriving from Ajax in the summer of 2022. However, he thrived on loan at Real Betis in the second half of last season, and the Spanish side are now exploring another loan deal for him.
