Former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has ended the noise around his time at Napoli once and for all amid links to a sensational return to Old Trafford.
Scott McTominay is in his second season at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium and the midfielder has scored 10 times and picked up four assists in 34 matches.
The 29-year-old Scottish talent has seen his influence wane in the current campaign after Napoli signed former Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne last summer.
