The Scotland international stepped out of his comfort zone when leaving Manchester United for Italy in the summer of 2024. His performances in Naples have seen more uncomfortable questions asked of the transfer decisions being made at Old Trafford.

McTominay has been a revelation at Napoli, registering 11 goals this season. He bagged a match-winning brace in his latest appearance, against Torino, and has overtaken United legend Denis Law (10 goals for Torino in 1961-62) as the most prolific Scot in a single Serie A campaign.
DID YOU KNOW?
McTominay is also the first Scot since Charlie Adam (12 goals for Blackpool in 2010-11) to reach double figures in a single campaign in one of Europe's top-five leagues. The 28-year-old midfielder is understandably loving life right now.
WHAT SCOTT MCTOMINAY SAID
Having been billed as McTerminator, MacGyver, the bottle opener (because he unlocks games) and the very Neapolitan McFratm (with Fratm being a Neopolitan word for ‘brother’), McTominay told of his favoured moniker in Italy: “McFratm is the best one! [Pasquale] Mazzocchi would say that one.”
