Manchester United sanctioned the departure of Scott McTominay to Serie A club Napoli at the start of the season.
Scott McTominay had fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and Manchester United decided to sell him in a deal with around £27.5 million. The 27-year-old has been outstanding for his new club so far, and he has established himself as a key player for Napoli.
The midfielder seems to be enjoying his time in Italian football, and he has certainly adapted to their style of football seamlessly. Manager Antonio Conte has brought out the best in the former Manchester United midfielder, and Paolo Di Canio believes that the Manchester United hierarchy should be arrested for their decision to sell the player.
“I would go to those at Manchester United to arrest all the directors – ‘how can you give away McTominay?’” Di Canio said in an interview with Il Mattino.
Napoli were in desperate need of a complete midfielder, and McTominay has been just that for them. The Scot has helped out defensively, created opportunities for his teammates and chipped in with goals as well.
The 27-year-old is already a key player for Napoli, and he has been a regular starter for the Serie A giants. The midfielder will look to continue his impressive start to life in Italy and help Napoli win major trophies this season.
Can Conte and McTominay guide Napoli to glory?
Conte has always done well to bring out the best in his teams in the face of adversity, and it will be interesting to see if Napoli can bounce back strongly after a disappointing season last year. With Juventus and Inter Milan showing vulnerability, it will not be a surprise if the Partenopei surprised everyone and push for the Serie A title.
It is evident that the 27-year-old Scottish international will be a key player for them this season, and he will be instrumental to their success as well. After the criticism in English football, the former Manchester United midfielder will be desperate to showcase his qualities in Italy and prove his worth at the highest level.
