Scott McTominay took his Manchester United departure in his stride last summer.

The Scotland international can have no regrets after leaving Manchester United.

Scott McTominay has enjoyed a seamless transition to Napoli with the club sitting on top of the Serie A table after playing 25 matches. They’re currently one point clear of Inter Milan.

Under former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, McTominay has become an important midfield presence following his £25million transfer, while his former club are sat 15^th in the Premier League table and awaiting an uplift under Ruben Amorim.

McTominay left United with one year left on his contract with an option for an further 12 months. He was an important squad player under Erik ten Hag but Ineos decided to part ways with the reliable Scot.

As a player who always gave his all, it’s been a joy to see McTominay take to life in Serie A like a fish in water.

Scott McTominay set to match Manchester United record

Napoli star McTominay is on the verge of equalling his personal record for league goals.

The 28-year-old has already netted six times in Serie A this term which means he is just one goal away from equalling his personal record for league goals in one season.

McTominay’s current record comes from the 2023/24 season when he scored seven Premier League goals for United.

Two more goals for McTominay will see him reach a new personal best.

Napoli’s next opponents are Cesc Fabregas’ Como, who McTominay scored his first Napoli goal against earlier this season.

AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders is the only midfielder in Serie A with more goals than the former United star this season.

Manchester United miss McTominay

McTominay had an incredible impact off the bench last season, scoring goals late on in games and saving Ten Hag from the brink.

Ruben Amorim is currently lacking that goalscoring influence to arrive on late in the box because our forwards are misfiring.

To make matters worse, United’s first team squad has been hit with injuries again and they could do with having McTominay as an option now.

McTominay has continued to score goals in Italy, which means there will be people regretting the decision to part ways with him last summer.
