Napoli head coach Antonio Conte did not expect that his team’s midfielder Scott McTominay would agree to sign a contract with the Partenopei.
Scott McTominay, Getty Images“Scott is a player I knew very well. He was born and raised in “Manchester United“. I saw that he always made an impression when he played, but at the same time I noticed that he was not used as a key player in “Manchester United”. He was hardly a starting player.
If you asked me: “Did you ever think that McTominay would definitely come?” I would say no. Don’t forget that we were approaching the season without European cups to fight for, so he had to leave “Manchester United” to start anew with us,” Conte was quoted by Sky Sport.
It should be noted that McTominay became one of the key players in Napoli’s triumphant Serie A season. The Scot has 12 goals and six assists in 34 matches in the Italian championship, making him the MVP of the season.
