McTominay has been in impressive scoring form in Serie A. |
McTominay increased his total goals in the top league of Italy to 8, the best achievement of his career in a season. From being underrated at Old Trafford, the Scottish midfielder gradually proved how wrong MU was to let him go.
While McTominay shined brightly, the current MU squad continued to sink deeper into crisis with a disastrous 1-4 defeat to Newcastle on April 13. The result almost certainly made the "Red Devils" set the worst record in Premier League history.
Notably, no MU player has scored more goals in the domestic league than McTominay this season. Only Bruno Fernandes has equalled McTominay's record of 8 goals, while Amad Diallo has 6 goals and Alejandro Garnacho is behind with 5 goals.
Striker duo Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund have only reached the 3-goal mark, leaving MU with a total of 38 goals after 32 Premier League matches. The results show that the Red Devils' attack is really facing serious problems.
At Napoli, McTominay has gradually become an indispensable piece in coach Antonio Conte's tactical scheme. This impressive form raises big questions about how MU has used him in the past.
Sharing with The Athletic , the 28-year-old midfielder confided: "When I was promoted to the first team, I felt I was in the wrong place. I was always strong in the ability to move into the penalty area, score goals, create pressure but was often deployed as a number 6 or a center-back. That's not my way of playing."
Coach Erik ten Hag wanted to keep McTominay, but MU decided to sell him because the transfer fee was considered "pure profit". Not only McTominay, the names abandoned by MU such as Antony, Marcus Rashford or Anthony Elanga all played better when leaving Old Trafford.
