However, his transfer had not made the headlines in Italy. After 20 years spent in his Manchester United training club, Scott MCTOMINAY (28 years old) was not retained by its leaders to reach Serie A and NAPOLI in a deal of approximately 25 million euros. Not enough tenure for his taste under the orders of Erik Ten Hag, the Scottish has simply passed in another dimension under the orders of Antonio Conte and does not regret his departure at all.
An express adaptation to the Serie A
“It was a huge decision for me, my family and my friends. There is no going back possible. I have never had any regrets, neither in my life nor in my career, and I continue this momentum today. I want my career to be successful and I will do my best to become the best football player and the best possible person ”he had dropped at the start of the season. Because it only took a match to Mctuminay to directly be aligned in the 4-3-3 of Naples, alongside Anguissa, Lobotka or his compatriot and friend Gilmour.
Because in addition to being a quality relay in this season of Serie A, Scott MCTOMINAY is decisive with 12 goals and 4 assists registered in 35 games, all competitions combined. A yield that surprises many people, except Antonio Conte, who explained his crazy rise: “Mctuminay is clearly stronger today than to his arrival. He never had a main role in Manchester United, when here we gave him one. He worked hard and he is now a full player. His progress has been shared by the whole team. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how we got 74 points »praised the Italian manager.
Mctuminay soon in legend?
And on the last matches, the Scottish international has crossed a CAP by being the main actor of the good shape of the GLI Azurri, Serie A leaders with three points ahead of Inter Milan. And if it is too early to qualify Mctuminay as Uomo Scudetto – Man of the season in Italy – he is already validated by Neapolitan supporters, who have given him size nicknames: “MacGyver, McTerminator, McFratm or APRIBOTIGLIE (The Bouteille Open), because you always score the first goal”explained a journalist about him.
The 28 -year -old midfielder has become a flagship of Napoli, especially in the second half of the season when Antonio Conte suffered from a lack of defensive solidity and creativity since the departure of KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA in PSG last winter. But his repositioning, I mean number 8 and number 10, made the difference. Two years after celebrating his third champion title, Naples is four matches to repeat the feat and that will go through a trip to Lecce on Saturday. And the Neapolitan people expect a last effort from their favorite Scottish.
