McTominay has transformed since joining Napoli. |
"McTominay is much stronger than he was in England," Goal quoted coach Conte as saying. "Here, he is given a central role, trusted and developed comprehensively. At MU, he was never given a really important role. But at Napoli, we gave McTominay that, and he did not disappoint us."
After Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left for PSG in January, Napoli needed a new attacking player and McTominay was a surprise choice. With five goals in his last three games and 11 in Serie A overall, he has really helped Napoli fly high.
Once considered a bit player at Manchester United, McTominay has now become one of the indispensable pillars in Napoli's Serie A title race. Joining Napoli last summer for a fee of £25 million, McTominay left Old Trafford after years of struggling with inconsistent form and a lack of consistent position.
Notably, coach Erik ten Hag had opposed selling McTominay in the summer of 2024. However, pressure from financial regulations in the Premier League forced MU to let the Scottish midfielder go.

The 28-year-old has become a new idol at the Maradona Stadium and the whole city of Naples. The team's fans chant McTominay's name, calling him by nicknames such as "MacGyver", "McTerminator" and "McFratm" (brother).
Now, as the season enters its decisive phase, Napoli have a great chance to win the Scudetto. Coach Conte's team is 3 points ahead of Inter Milan, while only facing weak opponents such as Lecce, Genoa, Parma and Cagliari in the remaining 4 rounds of Serie A.
