The decision changed McTominay's life.

Coach Antony Conte gave Scott McTominay a clear role at Napoli, something that had never happened before at Manchester United.

McTominay has transformed since joining Napoli.

"McTominay is much stronger now than he was in England," Goal quoted manager Conte as saying. "Here, he's given a central role, trusted, and able to develop fully. At Manchester United, he was never given a truly important role. But at Napoli, we give McTominay that, and he hasn't let us down."

After Khvicha Kvaratskhelia moved to PSG in January, Napoli needed a new player to shoulder the attacking role, and McTominay was surprisingly chosen. With 5 goals in the last 3 matches and a total of 11 goals in Serie A, he has truly helped Napoli soar.

Once considered a backup player at Manchester United, McTominay has now become an indispensable pillar in Napoli's Serie A title race. Joining Napoli last summer for £25 million, McTominay left Old Trafford after years of struggling with inconsistent form and a lack of a stable starting position.

Notably, manager Erik ten Hag had opposed selling McTominay in the summer of 2024. However, pressure from Premier League financial regulations forced MU to let the Scottish midfielder leave.

McTominay is conquering Napoli.

The 28-year-old player became a new idol at the Maradona Stadium and the entire city of Naples. Fans chanted McTominay's name, calling him by nicknames such as "MacGyver" (the bottle opener), "McTerminator" (the destroyer), or "McFratm" (brother).

Now, as the season enters its decisive phase, Napoli have a great opportunity to win the Scudetto. Coach Conte's team is 3 points ahead of Inter Milan, while only facing weaker opponents such as Lecce, Genoa, Parma, and Cagliari in the remaining 4 rounds of Serie A.
