McTominay is in impressive goalscoring form in Serie A. |
McTominay increased his total number of goals in Italy's top league to eight, his best career performance in a single season. From being underestimated at Old Trafford, the Scottish midfielder has gradually proven how wrong Manchester United were to let him go.
While McTominay shone brightly, Manchester United's current squad continued to sink deeper into crisis with a humiliating 1-4 defeat against Newcastle on April 13th. This result almost certainly sets a record for the worst performance in Premier League history for the "Red Devils".
Notably, no Manchester United player has scored more goals in the domestic league this season than McTominay. Only Bruno Fernandes has matched McTominay's tally of 8 goals, while Amad Diallo has 6 and Alejandro Garnacho is close behind with 5.
The striking duo of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have only reached the 3-goal mark, meaning Manchester United have only scored a total of 38 goals in 32 Premier League matches. This performance shows that the Red Devils' attack is facing serious problems.
At Napoli, McTominay gradually became an indispensable part of coach Antonio Conte's tactical system. This impressive form has raised big questions about how Manchester United have used him in the past.
Speaking to The Athletic , the 28-year-old midfielder revealed: "When I was promoted to the first team, I felt I was in the wrong place. I've always been strong in my ability to move into the penalty area, score goals, and create pressure, but I was often deployed as a number 6 or center-back. That's not my style of play."
Manager Erik ten Hag wanted to keep McTominay, but MU decided to sell him because the transfer fee would be considered a "pure profit". Not only McTominay, but other players rejected by MU such as Antony, Marcus Rashford, and Anthony Elanga have all performed better after leaving Old Trafford.
