In the summer of 2024, midfielder McTominay was sold by M.U to Napoli for 25 million euros. From being considered redundant at Old Trafford, the Scottish star quickly showed his value.
Becoming a mainstay in coach Conte's squad, McTominay has scored 3 goals and 3 assists in 14 Serie A matches so far. Currently, Napoli is also competing for the championship in Italy, when only 2 points behind the leader Atalanta.
Meanwhile, things are not going well at former club Man United. After sacking coach Ten Hag and appointing Amorim, the "Red Devils" are only ranked 13th in the Premier League. Most recently, M.U just lost 0-3 to Bournemouth.
Legend Jaap Stam has expressed regret over McTominay's departure. He told Football365: "Scott McTominay was a very important player at Manchester United, even though he didn't play regularly. He's a goalscorer and he makes an impact, he's the type of player you don't want to lose."
Jaap Stam also stressed that leaving was good for McTominay, but a bad decision for Man United: “Leaving could be a good move for him, the same story with Marcus Rashford at the moment. But initially he might want to stay.
McTominay is becoming an important player for Napoli and his confidence is growing. He is starting every game. I think selling McTominay was a very bad decision by Man United.”
Scott McTominay is a notable product of the Man United academy. During his career at Old Trafford, he scored 29 goals and 8 assists in 255 matches, winning 1 FA Cup and 1 League Cup.
